Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2048-2068, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to their strong oxidizing potential, rapid membrane permeability, and high reactivity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential roles in plant development and stress responses. Superoxide (O2•‐) is a primary product of molecular oxygen reduction and a crucial source of hydrogen peroxide, representing a ROS species of substantial ...

The intracellular phospholipase A1 protein family

Biomolecular Concepts, 2012
Phospholipase A1 is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids, producing 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids. The intracellular phospholipase A1 (iPLA1) protein family is a relatively recently discovered lipid-metabolizing enzyme family.

Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Discrete and cell‐specific hypoxic responses in Arabidopsis roots resolved by single‐nuclei transcriptomics

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2652-2667, March 2026.
Summary With the intensification of unpredictable flooding events because of global warming, there is a need to understand how root cells perceive and respond to oxygen deprivation. The use of high‐throughput single‐nuclei RNA‐sequencing (snRNA‐Seq) allows the examination of gene expression profiles in discrete cell types.

The PIN-FORMED (PIN) protein family of auxin transporters [PDF]

, 2009
The PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins are secondary transporters acting in the efflux of the plant signal molecule auxin from cells. They are asymmetrically localized within cells and their polarity determines the directionality of intercellular auxin flow.

OsBRXL4 Regulates Shoot Gravitropism and Rice Tiller Angle through Affecting LAZY1 Nuclear Localization [PDF]

Molecular Plant, 2019
Rice tiller angle is a key agronomic trait that contributes to ideal plant architecture and grain production. LAZY1 (LA1) was previously shown to control tiller angle via affecting shoot gravitropism, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown.

Developmental Roles of AUX1/LAX Auxin Influx Carriers in Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Plant hormone auxin regulates several aspects of plant growth and development. Auxin is predominantly synthesized in the shoot apex and developing leaf primordia and from there it is transported to the target tissues e.g. roots.

PID/WAG-mediated phosphorylation of the Arabidopsis PIN3 auxin transporter mediates polarity switches during gravitropism [PDF]

, 2018
Intercellular distribution of the plant hormone auxin largely depends on the polar subcellular distribution of the plasma membrane PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin transporters. PIN polarity switches in response to different developmental and environmental signals

Sclerified Cork Outperforms the Exodermis: Root Water Permeability Decreases in the Soil‐To‐Canopy Transition of the Aroid Vine Epipremnum aureum

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The aroid vine Epipremnum aureum undergoes changes in habitat and growth axis direction from terrestrial (plagiotropic) to canopy (orthotropic) conditions. Since aerial roots connected to the forest soil are vital for water and nutrient uptake in these vines, we hypothesize that morphophysiological acclimation occurs, enabling root survival ...
