Water immunity overrides stomatal immunity in plant resistance to Pseudomonas syringae

open access: yes
Stomata play crucial roles in the multilayered defense system against pathogens. Upon pathogen perception, stomata close promptly, establishing the first line of defense known as stomatal immunity.

Host plant use by competing acacia-ants : mutualists monopolize while parasites share hosts

open access: yes, 2012
Protective ant-plant mutualisms that are exploited by non-defending parasitic ants represent prominent model systems for ecology and evolutionary biology.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Leaf litter capture in the carnivorous pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea: a preliminary study

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions
Diet breadth is a key life-history trait influencing range size, evolutionary trajectories, and ecosystem functioning. While diet breadth studies have traditionally been confined to animals, carnivorous plants provide an exciting conceptual extension to ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Foliar fungi-imposed costs to plant productivity moderate shifts in composition of the rhizosphere microbiome

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Plants in grasslands navigate a complex landscape of interactions including competition for resources and defense against pathogens. Foliar fungi can suppress plant growth directly through pathogenic interactions, or indirectly via host growth-defense ...

Plant Metabolomics: An Indispensable System Biology Tool for Plant Science

open access: yes, 2016
As genomes of many plant species have been sequenced, demand for functional genomics has dramatically accelerated the improvement of other omics including metabolomics.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

The role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A in the formation of long-term memory in Bactrocera dorsalis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway has long been considered critical for long-term memory (LTM) formation. Previous studies have mostly focused on the role of PKA signaling in LTM induction by multiple spaced conditioning with ...
