A recent collaborative study including contributions from our institute explores how Arabidopsis and Vicia faba plants convert flg22 perception into electrical signals, triggering defense responses. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #PlantScience #PlantDefense #Arabidopsis #ViciaFaba #Research

Transformation of flg22 perception into electrical signals decoded in vasculature leads to sieve tube blockage and pathogen resistance
Flg22-triggered dual electric signals are crucial for generation of local and systemic defense responses.

ATG8ylation of vacuolar membrane protects plants against cell wall damage - Nature Plants
ATG8ylation of the tonoplast, triggered by cell wall damage, acts as a vital vacuolar quality control mechanism that safeguards vacuolar integrity and ensures cell survival under stress.

This is amazing! Few years back we showed that AZGs transport CKs in Arabidospsis and that they have an special place in the auxin:CK signalling crosstalk. Now, we can see how they do it to the most precise detail 👀🌱 Congrats Xu et al. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
