Plants from the Drosera genus, commonly known as sundews, look like alien organisms from a vintage science-fiction film. Their modified leaves resemble tentacles with hundreds of translucent sticky glands perched on top of long stalks. What looks to insects like a drop of delicious nectar is in fact sticky mucilage filled with deadly digesting hydrolases. A recent study led by Isheng J. Tsai from Taiwan

Vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-associated proteins (VAPs) are conserved constituents of membrane contact sites that involve ER membranes. VAPs are ER-integral proteins that interact with oxysterol-binding protein and its homologs, which bind to specific lipids in target membranes. VAP27 proteins are the VAPs in plants, and the Arabidopsis genome encodes ten homologues. VAP27-1 binds to

Smart gene, smart canopy Nat. Plants (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-19 Jun Lyu
The researchers found a natural mutant in the maize inbred line W22 background that showed the typical smart-canopy architecture (that is, differential leaf angles at different canopy layers). They named it leaf angle architecture of smart canopy 1 (lac1). Compared to W22, lac1 exhibits a narrower ligular band, smaller auricle size and more layers of sclerenchyma cells in the ligular region, which

No transgene needed Nat. Plants (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-17 Guillaume Tena
One alternative approach is to create targeted genetic variability from within, with no need to transfer genes from other species. The best tool for this is CRISPR-based mutagenesis. Although the targets of mutations can be gene-coding sequences, a promising approach is to modify cis-regulatory sequences or promoters. This approach leads to fewer off-target, pleiotropic or epistasis unwanted perturbations

The plant elicitor peptide (Pep) is a signal that promotes local defence responses, in contrast to the systemin peptide that is required to promote the systemic defence response in tomato and other nightshades. Both peptides are encoded as precursors (ProSys and ProPep) that are induced by local wounding (for example, by insect herbivores or fungal and bacterial pathogens that cause lesions at the

The phragmoplast is a structure that is required for cell plate formation during cytokinesis and is composed of microtubules, actin filaments and membrane compartments. Golgi-derived vesicles are transported towards the microtubule plus ends at the equatorial zone to deliver cell plate material. Both phragmoplast and cell plate initiate at the midzone and expand centrifugally. As the ring-shaped phragmoplast
