Complexome profiling of the Chlamydomonas psb28 mutant reveals THYLAKOID ENRICHED FRACTION 5 as an early photosystem II assembly factor

The Chlamydomonas psb28 mutant shows severe PSII assembly defects, and complexome profiling identifies TEF5 as a novel PSII assembly factor involved in CP47 assembly.

AtVPS13M1 is involved in lipid remodeling in low phosphate and is located at the mitochondria surface in plants

This study identifies AtVPS13M1 as a lipid transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana that affects phospholipid degradation during phosphate starvation and localizes to mitochondria.

Plant infection by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis requires actin-dependent generation of high invasive turgor pressure

This study shows Botrytis uses actin-dependent invasive pressure and surface adherence to penetrate plant cells, reducing virulence when actin polymerization is blocked.

Networked proteins redundantly interact with VAP27 and RABG3 to regulate membrane tethering at the vacuole and beyond

The paper shows NET4 and NET3 redundantly interact with RABG3 and VAP27 to regulate vacuole membrane tethering and growth in plants.

CLPB3 is required for the removal of chloroplast protein aggregates and for thermotolerance in Chlamydomonas

This study shows that CLPB3 in Chlamydomonas is required for resolving heat-induced chloroplast protein aggregates and confers thermotolerance under heat stress.

Light at the end of the tunnel: FRAP assay reveals that plant vacuoles start as a tubular network

The paper reevaluates vacuolar biogenesis in Arabidopsis roots using 3D modeling and a customized FRAP assay, showing vacuoles form as a connected tubular network, not from MVBs.

CTP-Synthase 2 from Arabidopsis thaliana is required for complete embryo development

This study shows that CTP-Synthase 2 is essential for embryo development in Arabidopsis thaliana, as its loss leads to embryo lethality and aborted seeds.

The secreted hypersensitive response inducing protein 1 from Botrytis cinerea displays non-canonical PAMP-activity

The paper identifies and characterizes Hip1, a protein from Botrytis cinerea that induces plant cell death through non-canonical PAMP activity.

Real-time monitoring of subcellular H2O2 distribution in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The paper develops genetically encoded H2O2 sensors for subcellular monitoring in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and shows H2O2 gradients and temperature-dependent cytosolic levels.

NET4 modulates the compactness of vacuoles in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study shows NET4A affects vacuole compactness in Arabidopsis thaliana, impacting growth, and reveals complexity in actin-dependent vacuolar morphology regulation.
