Cognition is not evidence of sentience

Animal Sentience, 2023
The ability of plants to detect their environment, including other organisms within that environment, is unquestioned. The ability of plants to differentially process, integrate and respond to complex combinations of environmental information could ...

Multifaceted roles of GRAS transcription factors in growth and stress responses in plants

iScience, 2022
Summary: The GAI-RGA- and -SCR (GRAS) proteins regulate a myriad of biological functions in plants. The C-terminus of GRAS proteins is highly conserved, whereas the N-terminus is hypervariable.

Integrated analysis of DNA methylation, transcriptome, and global metabolites in interspecific heterotic Capsicum F1 hybrid

iScience, 2022
Summary: Hybrid breeding is one of the efficacious methods of crop improvement. Here, we report our work towards understanding the molecular basis of F1 hybrid heterosis from Capsicum chinense and C. frutescens cross.

Pectin methylesterase gene AtPMEPCRA contributes to physiological adaptation to simulated and spaceflight microgravity in Arabidopsis

iScience, 2022
Summary: Pectin is biosynthesized in a highly methylated form and is partially de-methylated by pectin methylesterase (PME) activity. Plant PMEs play a critical role in cell wall remodeling in many physiological processes.

bHLH heterodimer complex variations regulate cell proliferation activity in the meristems of Arabidopsis thaliana

iScience, 2022
Summary: Root, shoot, and lateral meristems are the main regions of cell proliferation in plants. It has been proposed that meristems might have evolved dedicated transcriptional networks to balance cell proliferation. Here, we show that basic helix-loop-

Fossil samaras of Ailanthus from South China and their phytogeographic implications

iScience, 2022
Summary: Ailanthus Desf. (Simaroubaceae), now widespread in southern Asia to northern Australia, was widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere during the Cenozoic, but has few fossil records at low latitudes.

Circadian Regulation of the Plant Transcriptome Under Natural Conditions

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Circadian rhythms produce a biological measure of the time of day. In plants, circadian regulation forms an essential adaptation to the fluctuating environment.

Heritable CRISPR-Cas9 editing of plant genomes using RNA virus vectors

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Viral vectors hold enormous potential for genome editing in plants as transient delivery vehicles of CRISPR-Cas components. Here, we describe a protocol to assemble plant viral vectors for single-guide RNA (sgRNA) delivery.

Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2009
Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions that assimilate carbon dioxide and synthesize carbohydrate.
