Summary Generation of competent offspring is vital for the prosperity of flowering plants. The pistil not only functions as a conduit for pollen tubes to grow to the ovary but also provides a selective venue for facilitating the growth of compatible pollen tubes and discouraging invaders and incompatible pollen.

The Arabidopsis NPF7.2 mediates coumarin uptake for root iron acquisition
Summary Iron (Fe) is a transition metal necessary for achieving essential physiological processes throughout the plant lifecycle. In Arabidopsis thaliana, secreting Fe‐mobilizing coumarins (FMC) is a key mechanism enabling roots to acquire nonbioavailable Fe present in soils.

Cell wall water shields stomata against falling leaf airspace humidity
Summary Plants lose water by transpiration through stomatal pores. However, it remains a matter of debate whether relative humidity (RH) in the substomatal cavity may fall below saturation and guard cells experience strong differences water potential driven by RH in the cavity.

Summary Stomatal development has emerged as a valuable model for studying developmental processes. Examining gene function along the stomatal lineage often requires gene perturbation in a controlled and cell‐stage‐specific manner, but this remains tedious without a dedicated genetic tool.

Summary Plant immunity is complex, and studies of leaf epidermal cells attacked by powdery mildew fungi have been instrumental in revealing how it relies on plant endomembrane trafficking. Immunity against these biotrophic fungi is manifested as cell wall deposits (‘papillae’) and the hypersensitive reaction (HR), both involving plant endomembrane ...
