Cellular mechanisms for cargo delivery and polarity maintenance at different polar domains in plant cells [PDF]
, 2016 The asymmetric localization of proteins in the plasma membrane domains of eukaryotic cells is a fundamental manifestation of cell polarity that is central to multicellular organization and developmental patterning.

An updated protocol for high throughput plant tissue sectioning [PDF]
, 2017 Quantification of the tissue and cellular structure of plant material is essential for the study of a variety of plant sciences applications. Currently, many methods for sectioning plant material are either low throughput or involve free-hand sectioning ...

CASPARIAN STRIP INTEGRITY FACTOR (CIF) family peptides - regulator of plant extracellular barriers
Peptides, 2021 In multicellular organisms, water and most of the small molecules, such as nutrients, toxic substances, and signaling compounds, move freely through extracellular spaces, depending on their biochemical nature. To restrict the simple diffusion of small molecules, multicellular organisms have evolved extracellular barriers across specific tissue layers ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Large nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer inputs are used in many crop systems. Identifying genetic loci controlling nutrient accumulation may be useful in crop breeding strategies to increase fertilizer use efficiency and reduce financial and ...

An outlook on protein S-acylation in plants:what are the next steps? [PDF]
, 2017 S-acylation, also known as palmitoylation, is the reversible post-translational addition of fatty acids to proteins. Historically thought primarily to be a means for anchoring otherwise soluble proteins to membranes, evidence now suggests that reversible

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Increasing dietary fibre (DF) intake is an important target to improve health. An attractive strategy for this is to increase DF in wheat which is derived principally from the endosperm cell wall polysaccharide arabinoxylan (AX). The water‐extractable form of this (WE‐AX) accounts for most soluble dietary fibre (SDF), which is believed to ...

Characterization of pearl millet root architecture and anatomy reveals three types of lateral roots [PDF]
, 2016 Pearl millet plays an important role for food security in arid regions of Africa and India. Nevertheless, it is considered an orphan crop as it lags far behind other cereals in terms of genetic improvement efforts.
