In both root nodule symbiosis and arbuscular mycorrhiza, symbiotic signalling relies on the perception of chitinous ligand by lysine motif receptors. These receptors relay the signal via SymRK, which....

A perspective on plant immunity is proposed that differs from the prevalent view that centers on resistance based on receptors that recognize the pathogen. In this perspective, mechanisms of quantita....

Understanding how plant cells coordinate metabolism remains a major challenge, particularly at the level of intracellular organization. This perspective proposes that dynamic organelle positioning ac...

Plant pathogens deploy large families of structurally related but sequence-diverse effector proteins to manipulate host cells, allowing them to evade immune recognition whilst maintaining the capacit...

Life on Earth depends on photosynthetic CO2 fixation via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle to form organic carbon. This process evolved first in cyanobacteria and was later conveyed to eukaryotes, givi...

The TPJ Fellowship scheme was first launched in 2020, and we are pleased to announce that we have now opened applications for the 2026 TPJ Fellowship scheme.

The Lettuce Expression Browser (LEB) provides the first high-resolution gene expression atlas for both cultivated and wild lettuce species. This open-access resource enables detailed exploration of g...

José Alonso, a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor and University Faculty Scholar in plant and microbial biology, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the world’s mos...

Self-incompatibility involves the precise recognition and rejection of incompatible pollen, often using a receptor–ligand type of interaction between male and female S-determinants. In this review, w...

Ethylene signaling governs key plant processes, yet how its receptors translate hormone binding and copper coordination into cellular responses remains unclear. Integrating structural biology, spectr....

How plant cells coordinate developmental patterning remains a fundamental question in biology. This review synthesizes current knowledge of how ERECTA-family receptors interpret spatiotemporal peptid....

This review focuses on recent high-resolution structural data to elucidate the molecular basis of plant ABC transporters governing substrate specificity, energy coupling, and directional hormone tran....

Structural biology is beginning to reveal how plant molecular machines work, yet plant proteins remain underrepresented compared with biomedical targets. With advances in cryo-EM, tomography, and AI-...

This review synthesizes current knowledge of plant hormone transporters across five major protein superfamilies. It links structural classification to transport mechanism and substrate specificity an....

This webinar is the 3rd in a series together with "The Plant Journal" Join us for a webinar hosted as a collaboration between The Global Plant Council and the "The Plant Journal". Plant receptors d...

Plasmodesmata are cytoplasmic channels essential for intercellular communication in plants; yet their organ-scale distribution and regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we establish a quantitati...

The colonization of legume roots by rhizobia represents a critical phase in the establishment of root nodule symbiosis. In this study, we demonstrated that LjEXPA1, a plant protein involved in cell w....

Contrary to expectation, NUPTs do not necessarily have a deleterious or ultimately neutral impact, nor are they necessarily purged from the genome. Instead, they can proliferate and eventually become...
