Summary The development of a seedling into a photosynthetically active plant is a crucial process. Despite its importance, we do not fully understand the regulatory mechanisms behind the establishment of functional chloroplasts. We herein provide new insight into the early light response by identifying the function of three basic region/leucine zipper (

Mechanical regulation of cortical microtubules in plant cells
Summary All living organisms are subjected to mechanical forces at all times. It has been reported that mechanics regulate many key cellular processes, including cell polarity establishment, cell division and gene expression, as a physical signal in both animal and plant development.

Summary Cellulose is an essential component of plant cell walls and an economically important source of food, paper, textiles, and biofuel. Despite its economic and biological significance, the regulation of cellulose biosynthesis is poorly understood.

Summary Plant establishment requires the formation and development of an extensive root system with architecture modulated by complex genetic networks. Here, we report the identification of the PtrXB38 gene as an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) hotspot, mapped using 390 leaf and 444 xylem Populus trichocarpa transcriptomes.

Summary In the absence of light signals, Arabidopsis plants fail to develop the rosette habit typical for this species. Instead, plants display caulescent growth due to elongation of rosette internodes. This aspect of photomorphogenic development has been paid little attention and molecular events involved, downstream of photoreceptor signaling, remain

Save your TIRs – more to auxin than meets the eye
Summary Auxin has long been known as an important regulator of plant growth and development. Classical studies in auxin biology have uncovered a ‘canonical’ transcriptional auxin‐signalling pathway involving the TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE1/AUXIN SIGNALING F‐BOX (TIR1/AFB) receptors.

Summary The various combinations and regulations of different subunits of phosphatase PP2A holoenzymes underlie their functional complexity and importance. However, molecular mechanisms governing the assembly of PP2A complex in response to external or internal signals remain largely unknown, especially in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Summary Plastid‐to‐nucleus retrograde signalling (RS) initiated by dysfunctional chloroplasts impact photomorphogenic development. We have previously shown that the transcription factor GLK1 acts downstream of the RS regulator GUN1 in photodamaging conditions to regulate not only the well established expression of photosynthesis‐associated nuclear ...

Summary In a world that will rely increasingly on efficient plant growth for sufficient food, it is important to learn about natural mechanisms of phytohormone action. In this work, the introduction of a fluorophore to an auxin molecule represents a sensitive and non‐invasive method to directly visualise auxin localisation with high spatiotemporal ...

Summary VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2), an angiosperm‐specific subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), is an oxygen (O2)‐regulated target of the PCO branch of the PRT6 N‐degron pathway of ubiquitin‐mediated proteolysis. How this post‐translational regulation coordinates VRN2 activity remains to be fully established. Here we use Arabidopsis thaliana
