The plant response to high CO2 levels is heritable and orchestrated by DNA methylation
Summary Plant responses to abiotic environmental challenges are known to have lasting effects on the plant beyond the initial stress exposure. Some of these lasting effects are transgenerational, affecting the next generation. The plant response to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels has been well studied.

Defining the scope for altering rice leaf anatomy to improve photosynthesis: a modelling approach
Summary Leaf structure plays an important role in photosynthesis. However, the causal relationship and the quantitative importance of any single structural parameter to the overall photosynthetic performance of a leaf remains open to debate. In this paper, we report on a mechanistic model, eLeaf, which successfully captures rice leaf photosynthetic ...

Summary Root hair growth is tuned in response to the environment surrounding plants. While most previous studies focused on the enhancement of root hair growth during nutrient starvation, few studies investigated the root hair response in the presence of excess nutrients.

Abstract Premise Reconstructing the light environment and architecture of the plant canopy from the fossil record requires the use of proxies, such as those derived from cell wall undulation, cell size, and carbon isotopes. All approaches assume that plant taxa will respond predictably to changes in light environments.

Summary Plant cellulose is synthesized by a large plasma membrane‐localized cellulose synthase (CesA) complex. However, an overall functional determination of secondary cell wall (SCW) CesAs is still lacking in trees, especially one based on gene knockouts.

Análisis de sensibilidad y correlación entre el ahuellamiento y la deflexión en estructuras de pavimento flexible [PDF]
The present investigation shows the sensitivity analysis and the correlation between the rutting or deformation and the deflection in a flexible pavement structure to verify the design criteria of deformation or rutting and deflection of the structural ...

Summary In humans and plants, N‐terminal acetylation plays a central role in protein homeostasis, affects 80% of proteins in the cytoplasm and is catalyzed by five ribosome‐associated N‐acetyltransferases (NatA–E). Humans also possess a Golgi‐associated NatF (HsNAA60) that is essential for Golgi integrity.

Auxin‐induced actin cytoskeleton rearrangements require AUX1
Summary The actin cytoskeleton is required for cell expansion and implicated in cellular responses to the phytohormone auxin. However, the mechanisms that coordinate auxin signaling, cytoskeletal remodeling and cell expansion are poorly understood. Previous studies examined long‐term actin cytoskeleton responses to auxin, but plants respond to auxin ...
