Brassinosteroid responses in motion: dynamics of brassinosteroid hormone and receptors shape signaling and tissue establishment

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 4, May 2026.
SUMMARY Bioactive molecules such as hormones play crucial roles throughout the life cycle of organisms. Due to their profound effects, these molecules are tightly regulated at multiple levels, including biosynthesis, storage, transport, modification, and signaling.

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 ...

Plant subtilases as key initiators of peptide ligand‐receptor signaling

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
SUMMARY Peptide ligand‐receptor signaling plays a crucial role in regulating diverse biological processes in plants. Over the past three decades, numerous peptide ligands and their corresponding receptors have been identified, and our understanding of their downstream signaling pathways and biological functions has gradually advanced.

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 Rice Actin-Binding Protein RMD Regulates Light-Dependent Shoot Gravitropism [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2019
Light and gravity are two key determinants in orientating plant stems for proper growth and development. The organization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton are essential for cell biology and critically regulated by actin-binding proteins. However, the role of actin cytoskeleton in shoot negative gravitropism remains controversial. In this work, we

The chemical NJ15 affects hypocotyl elongation and shoot gravitropism via cutin polymerization [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2018
ABSTRACT We previously found a chemical, designated as NJ15, which inhibited both auxin and brassinosteroid responses in dark-grown Arabidopsis. To study its mode of action, we performed a phenotypic screening of NJ15-low-sensitive lines among mutant pools of Arabidopsis.

Beyond dwarfism: Green Revolution gene Rht-D1b orchestrates tiller angle and canopy architecture in wheat

Crop Journal
The Green Revolution genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b encode truncated DELLA proteins that confer gibberellin (GA)-insensitive semi-dwarfism in wheat. Their roles in reducing plant height and enhancing lodging resistance are well established, but their ...

Underground roots monitor aboveground environment by sensing stem-piped light

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
Light is a critical environmental cue for plant growth and development. Plants actively monitor surrounding environments by sensing changes in light wavelength and intensity.

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 ...
