Proposed model for the stepwise evolution of DELLA functions in the green lineage.

Decoding the molecular and cellular basis of plant-microbe interactions. Single-cell and spatial omics of plant immunity. Led by Tatsuya Nobori at TSL, Norwich, UK.

Myth: “Preprints are not discoverable or citable.” Truth: Preprints are an established part of today’s research ecosystem—they have DOIs, appear in major databases, and are recognized by both…

Failure is part and parcel of research, but discussing it sometimes seems to be taboo in science. It doesn’t need to be.

A study maps terpene biosynthesis in Marchantia polymorpha oil bodies and identifies the ABC transporter MpABCG1 as a key factor for endogenous sesquiterpene accumulation in oil bodies, informing future metabolic engineering strategies.

CRAG is launching an international call to showcase the Center’s opportunities to outstanding early-career researchers interested in establishing their first independent research group.

Plant cell surface receptors have evolved to perceive peptides, proteins, glycans, lipids, and small molecules through diverse ectodomains, integrating these inputs into distinct physiological output....

On March 10, we heard from Katie Corker (Executive Director, ASAPbio) and Felix Dijkstal (Science Officer, International Science Council) who shared outcomes and next steps stemming from a joint works...

Auxin-dependent ARF transcription factors are subject to proteolytic degradation. Using the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, de Roij et al. show that this degradation evolved early in the ARF family, ...

ALT: a sign that says save the date in orange letters

In many algae, photosynthesis is boosted by biophysical CO2-concentrating mechanisms, which pack the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco into liquid-like organelles called pyrenoids. Engineering C3 crops with a...
