In roots, the endodermis controls nutrient entry by forming a barrier known as the Casparian strip. Yet how barrier-associated processes interface with systemic signaling remains unclear. Here, we sho...

Plants perceive neighboring vegetation through an enrichment of far-red light (shade) in the environment. These changes in light quality trigger molecular and physiological responses aimed at outgrowi...

Abstract. Flooding is a major abiotic stress that restricts terrestrial plant growth and survival. A plant tissue’s ability to avoid or sustain critical ox

LMU researchers show that certain cell organelles can efficiently compensate for mistranslated proteins – a possible key to their acclimation to environmental stress.

All organisms fuel and build themselves through their energy metabolism. While classic biochemistry conceptualizes the fluxes of energy and matter, our understanding of how energy metabolism works in ...

Inositol phosphates and pyrophosphates are small, water-soluble molecules involved in a range of physiological processes across eukaryotic organisms, including plants. Over the past two decades, signi...

Fungal effectors may have evolved from ancient antimicrobials, shaping plant microbiota and immunity during infection.

Pathogens secrete effector proteins to promote virulence. Despite their recognition by barley Mla resistance genes, the structurally-related Blumeria hordei ( Bh ) AVRA effectors are maintained in the...

Cereal root systems are critical for nutrient and water uptake as well as for anchorage and thus for plant productivity. This review synthesizes the current understanding of the morphological and cell...

Plants are sessile organisms and must integrate information from a range of external stimuli to respond appropriately to their environment. Stomata form a

‘Catch & Release’ represents a cost-effective, rapid, and reliable one-step protein purification workflow that accelerates plant research. It offers a functionality-confirmed and versatile binary vec...

Arabidopsis leaf epidermal cells have a wide range of sizes and ploidies, but the mechanisms patterning their size and spatial distribution remain unclear. This study shows that the pathway controllin...

Affinity purification in Arabidopsis identified all key subunits of the outer kinetochore KMN complex. Functional analyses revealed a striking conservation of its composition and organization across k...

Symbioses have been fundamental to colonization of terrestrial ecosystems by plants and their evolution. Emergence of the ancient arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis was followed by the diversification o...
