Disruption of KEA-mediated chloroplast ion homeostasis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii reveals conserved and lineage-specific control of plastid rRNA processi

Abstract. Plant parasitism is a widespread lifestyle found throughout the plant kingdom that plays important roles in ecology and agriculture. Parasitic pl

Genome restructured, evolution of land plants, arctic kelp forests and trees’ surfaces: DBG scientific awards for four plant scientists 2026

This Community Page presents the 100 Diatom Genomes Project, which aims to sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of 100 diatom species across major lineages, life forms and ecological strategies. Th...

The researcher will use the prestigious grant to investigate how microorganisms reactivate their metabolism after prolonged dormancy.

Fungi, particularly ascomycetes, exhibit diverse ecological lifestyles, including endophytism, pathogenicity, and saprotrophy. Species of the genus Alternaria are taxonomically and ecologically divers...

LMU researchers have shown that specific ion channels enable rapid transmission of calcium signals to chloroplasts and strengthen the defense response to recurring stress.

Abstract. The widespread oceanic cyanobacterial Prochlorococcus genus is a major contributor to global carbon fixation, yet mechanisms enabling this lineag

Here the authors describe cell-type-specific responses of Arabidopsis seedlings to nine phytohormones. They characterize transcriptional crosstalk among them, and identify a guard-cell MYB60 module li...
