Summary Cellular ion and pH homeostasis are crucial factors affecting and regulating metabolic reactions, protein stability, signalling and transport mechanisms. To balance intracellular ion concentrations, organisms need to constantly sense and respond to both the extracellular environment and cell compartments' requests.

Poplar miR1447 Is a Negative Regulator of Disease Resistance Through the SA‐Dependent Pathway
ABSTRACT Although microRNA1447 (miR1447) regulates poplar responses to abiotic stress and pest infestation, how miR1447 regulates poplar immunity against pathogens and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here, we revealed that miR1447 functioned as a negative regulator of poplar disease resistance against fungal and bacterial ...

Butterfly eyespots evolved via co-option of the antennal gene-regulatory network
Butterfly eyespots are beautiful novel traits with an unknown developmental origin. Here we show that eyespots likely originated via co-option of the antennal gene-regulatory network (GRN) to novel locations on the wing.

SUMMARY Photosynthesis, which sustains life on Earth, depends on organized and yet adaptable protein assemblies embedded in specialized membranes known as thylakoids. Understanding how these complexes interact and reorganize within functional photosynthetic membranes is essential to reveal the molecular basis of energy conversion in cells.

Closing the gap: a roadmap to single‐cell regulatory genomics
Studying the spatiotemporal control of gene regulatory networks at the single‐cell level is still a challenge, yet it is key to understanding the mechanisms driving cellular identity. In their recent study, Aerts and colleagues (González‐Blas et al, 2020)

Identification and Expression Analysis of Candidate Odorant-Binding Protein and Chemosensory Protein Genes by Antennal Transcriptome of Sitobion avenae. [PDF]
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) of aphids are thought to be responsible for the initial molecular interactions during olfaction that mediate detection of chemical signals.
