Defender or accomplice? Dual roles of plant vesicle trafficking in restricting and enabling geminiviral systemic infection

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The vesicle trafficking system enables multidirectional cargo fluxes between endomembrane compartments. However, vesicle trafficking plays dual roles during pathogen infections. In plants, it mediates autophagic immune responses but can also be hijacked by pathogens to facilitate successful infections.

The power of ionic movements in plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The movement of ion‐driven electrogenic events known as plant action potentials in the Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula has first been recognized in Darwin's time. Besides electrophysiological techniques making use of current‐ and voltage‐recording electrodes, today an ever‐growing spectrum of tools has become available, that report online ...

Modelling stomatal mechanics: a critical review

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The biomechanics of stomatal movements have fascinated scientists for almost 150 yr, yet we still lack a conclusive and coherent mechanistic understanding of the process. In this review, we present a framework that allows critical insight into the state of knowledge of stomatal biomechanics, with a focus on modelling approaches.

Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of
