Two antagonistic gene regulatory networks drive Arabidopsis root hair growth at low temperature

This paper identifies two opposing gene regulatory networks that control root hair growth in Arabidopsis at low temperature, revealing their role in integrating environmental and internal signals.

Long noncoding RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation of auxin-related genes controlling shade avoidance syndrome in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study shows that the lncRNA APOLO regulates auxin-related genes involved in shade avoidance syndrome in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating chromatin structure and gene expression.

The transcription factor AtHB23 modulates starch turnover for root development and plant survival under salinity

This study identifies AtHB23 as a transcription factor that modulates starch turnover in roots, affecting plant survival under salinity stress through its regulation of LAX3.

Apoplastic class III peroxidases PRX62 and PRX69 regulate ROS-homeostasis and cell wall associated extensins linked to root hair growth at low-temperature in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies PRX62 and PRX69 as apoplastic peroxidases that regulate ROS homeostasis and cell wall extensin insolubilization, affecting root hair growth at low temperatures in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Sequence-unrelated long noncoding RNAs converged to modulate the activity of conserved epigenetic machineries across kingdoms

The paper shows that sequence-unrelated lncRNAs modulate epigenetic machineries across kingdoms by interacting with conserved proteins to regulate gene expression.

ChronoRoot: High-throughput phenotyping by deep segmentation networks reveals novel temporal parameters of plant root system architecture

ChronoRoot uses deep segmentation networks and 3D-printed hardware to enable high-temporal-resolution root phenotyping, revealing new time-related root growth parameters.

The lncRNA APOLO interacts with the transcription factor WRKY42 to trigger root hair cell expansion in response to cold

The paper shows that the lncRNA APOLO interacts with WRKY42 to regulate RHD6 transcription, enhancing root hair elongation in response to cold.

A new role for histone demethylases in the maintenance of plant genome integrity

This study identifies ELF6 and REF6 as JMJ histone demethylases in Arabidopsis that maintain H3K27me3 and H3K27me1 homeostasis, preventing epigenetic imprints and transposon activation during sexual reproduction.
