Cell elongation is a fundamental process allowing plants to change size and shape, a process governed by several growth promoting hormones. While hormones such as brassinosteroids (BRs) and phytosulfo...

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.

In growth and development of plants, the signaling molecule auxin plays an instrumental role. Many patterning processes are controlled by auxin signaling in a self-organizing matter. After fertilizati...

While cell identities are established early during embryogenesis, these cells remain immature until germination, and the mechanisms enforcing this developmental pause are poorly understood. Embryonic ...

Plant plasma membrane proteins are organized into distinct domains; however, the principles that govern this spatial organization are not fully understood. HYPERSENSITIVE-INDUCED REACTION (HIR) protei...

The type II secretion (T2S) system is conserved across the Xanthomonas lineage, yet its contributions to pathogenicity and secreted protein repertoires are poorly defined. We demonstrate that T2S syst...

Move comes after Roger Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs

Interview with Dr. Trang Phan, postdoc Trang Phan is a second-year postdoctoral researcher in Prof.

Transfer of NLR-type immune receptors to distantly related plant species to expand pathogen recognition has often been difficult due to restricted taxonomic functionality (RTF). In a recent Cell publi...
