Why the taxpayer profits from plant cell biology—special issue “Applied Plant Cell Biology” [PDF]
Protoplasma, 2012 Plant cell biologists are often perceived as the guys that produce esthetically appealing images, and are deeply rooted in the realm of pure science, far away from anything that might be biotechnologically relevant. Why should the taxpayer fund this curiosity-driven type of research?

Identification of small RNAs during cold acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Cold stress causes dynamic changes in gene expression that are partially caused by small non-coding RNAs since they regulate protein coding transcripts and act in epigenetic gene silencing pathways. Thus, a detailed analysis of transcriptional

SUMOylation of NaV1.2 channels mediates the early response to acute hypoxia in central neurons. [PDF]
, 2016 The mechanism for the earliest response of central neurons to hypoxia-an increase in voltage-gated sodium current (INa)-has been unknown. Here, we show that hypoxia activates the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) pathway in rat cerebellar granule ...

Comparative analysis of plant immune receptor architectures uncovers host proteins likely targeted by pathogens. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Plants deploy immune receptors to detect pathogen-derived molecules and initiate defense responses. Intracellular plant immune receptors called nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins contain a central nucleotide-binding (NB ...

Plant extracellular vesicles: Trojan horses of cross‐kingdom warfare
FASEB BioAdvances, 2021 Plants communicate with their interacting microorganisms through the exchange of functional molecules. This communication is critical for plant immunity, for pathogen virulence, and for establishing and maintaining symbioses. Extracellular vesicles (EVs)

Identification and characterization of piperine synthase from black pepper, Piper nigrum L.
Communications Biology, 2021 Schnabel et al. identify and characterize piperine synthase in developing black pepper fruits which catalyses the formation of piperine from piperoyl coenzyme A and piperidine.

Stromule extension along microtubules coordinated with actin-mediated anchoring guides perinuclear chloroplast movement during innate immunity. [PDF]
, 2018 Dynamic tubular extensions from chloroplasts called stromules have recently been shown to connect with nuclei and function during innate immunity. We demonstrate that stromules extend along microtubules (MTs) and MT organization directly affects stromule

UBP12 and UBP13 negatively regulate the activity of the ubiquitin-dependent peptidases DA1, DAR1 and DAR2 [PDF]
, 2020 Protein ubiquitination is a very diverse post-translational modification leading to protein degradation or delocalization, or altering protein activity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, two E3 ligases, BIG BROTHER (BB) and DA2, activate the latent peptidases DA1,
