Rethinking diabetic retinopathy: Homeostatic mechanisms for retinal clearance
Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.In the healthy retina, balanced production and clearance of metabolic waste and fluid maintain retinal homeostasis and normal visual function. Diabetes disrupts this balance, increasing the accumulation of metabolic waste products, including advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs), while impairing waste and ...

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.In Populus, short days deactivate the growth‐promoting protein PtoHY5, turning off a growth accelerator and activating an abscisic acid‐driven brake. This directly couples growth cessation with dormancy, underscoring the role of abscisic acid in synchronizing these transitions for winter survival.

Light signaling controls chloroplast pyruvate metabolism through the STF1/2–PKP1 module in soybean
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.In soybean, light‐responsive proteins switch on GmPKP1, which boosts chloroplast pyruvate production. This increases pigments, photosynthesis, seed oil, pod number, and yield, revealing a new way that light boosts crop productivity. ABSTRACT Light signaling coordinates plant development with metabolism, but the link between photoreceptors and ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Proprioception controls trunk straightness in trees through opposite tension wood formation. A spherical growth chamber (a), combined with a two‐dimensional rotating clinostat (b2), suppresses gravi‐ and phototropic sensing. The tree is first tilted horizontally (b1), triggering upward gravitropic bending, actuated by tension wood formation on the ...

Light‐induced phyB‐NPR1 interaction activates systemic acquired resistance
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Model showing phyB‐mediated fine‐tuning of defence responses via NPR1. Summary Light perception by phytochromes controls different aspects of plant–environment interactions including plant immunity; however, the underpinning molecular mechanisms are less well‐understood.

Molecular Links Between Heat Stress and DNA Damage Response in Plants
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change poses a major threat to agricultural productivity and, consequently, to global food security. Among the consequences of climate change, heat stress (HS) has emerged as a critical factor limiting crop performance. This has stimulated extensive research over the past decade to elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms ...
