A Role for the Plastidial GPT2 Translocator in the Modulation of Lignin Biosynthesis
ABSTRACT Engineering plants with reduced lignin content can result in pleiotropic growth defects. In stems of Arabidopsis plants with reduced expression of hydroxycinnamoyl CoA: shikimate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT), the plastidial glucose 6‐phosphate: phosphate co‐transporter GPT2 is highly overexpressed, and this coincides with reduced lignin ...

ILC2 Diversity, Location, and Function in Pulmonary Disease
ABSTRACT Type‐2 inflammation is driven by the production of canonical type‐2 cytokines IL‐4, IL‐5, and IL‐13. Type‐2 cytokines promote mucus production, innate immune cell recruitment, and smooth muscle contractility in mucosal tissues. These hallmarks of type‐2 inflammation are important contributors to the weep‐and‐sweep responses observed in the ...
