Regulating the Regulators [PDF]

Science, 2003
Activation of the immune system in response to pathogens carries with it the possibility of a harmful autoimmune response. In their Perspective, Powrie and Maloy discuss a newly recognized group of regulatory T cells (T) that fine tune protective antimicrobial immune responses in order to minimize harmful immune pathology ( Hori et ...

Heat Stress Targeting Individual Organs Reveals the Central Role of Roots and Crowns in Rice Stress Responses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Inter-organ communication and the heat stress (HS; 45°C, 6 h) responses of organs exposed and not directly exposed to HS were evaluated in rice (Oryza sativa) by comparing the impact of HS applied either to whole plants, or only to shoots or roots. Whole-

Dissecting Hierarchies between Light, Sugar and Auxin Action Underpinning Root and Root Hair Growth

Plants, 2021
Plant roots are very plastic and can adjust their tissue organization and cell appearance during abiotic stress responses. Previous studies showed that direct root illumination and sugar supplementation mask root growth phenotypes and traits.

Light Regulates the Cytokinin-Dependent Cold Stress Responses in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
To elucidate the effect of light intensity on the cold response (5°C; 7 days) in Arabidopsis thaliana, we compared the following parameters under standard light (150 μmol m–2 s–1), low light (20 μmol m–2 s–1), and dark conditions: membrane damage ...
