Natural soil suppressiveness against soilborne phytopathogens extends to the control of insect pest

The paper shows that soil suppressive against plant pathogens also controls insect pests by reducing plant stress responses and altering microbiome dynamics.

Photoreceptor-induced sinapate synthesis contributes to photoprotection in Arabidopsis

This study shows that photoreceptors induce FAH1 to produce sinapate esters, which protect Arabidopsis from UV damage by acting as sunscreen compounds.

plantMASST - Community-driven chemotaxonomic digitization of plants

The paper curates LC-MS/MS data from plant extracts to create a taxonomically focused database for exploring plant-derived molecules.

The benzoxazinoid breakdown product 5-Methoxy-2-Nitrophenol has a dual function in maize defense against herbivory

This study identifies 5-Methoxy-2-Nitrophenol as a breakdown product of benzoxazinoids in maize that functions as both a direct defense compound and a defense modulator against herbivores.

High-resolution kinetics of herbivore-induced plant volatile transfer reveal clocked responses in neighboring plants

This study shows that prolonged exposure to herbivore-induced volatiles causes neighboring plants to exhibit a clocked temporal response, integrating priming and direct induction.

Leaf metabolic traits reveal hidden dimensions of plant form and function

The paper analyzes leaf metabolome variation across plant species to identify metabolic functional traits that reveal new dimensions of plant form and function.

Plant secondary metabolite-dependent plant-soil feedbacks can improve crop yield in the field

This study shows that maize secondary metabolites improve wheat yield and growth through soil feedbacks in field conditions.

Chromoplast plastoglobules recruit the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway and contribute to carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit maturation

This study identifies plastoglobules in tomato chromoplasts as biosynthetic platforms for carotenoid accumulation during fruit maturation.

Far-red light increases maize volatile emissions in response to volatile cues from neighboring plants

This study shows that far-red light enhances maize's response to herbivore-induced volatiles by altering photosynthesis and phytochrome B signaling.

Novel insights on the contribution of plastoglobules and reactive oxygen species to chromoplast differentiation

The paper shows that inducing phytoene synthase in leaf chloroplasts leads to chromoplast differentiation, with plastoglobules accumulating carotenoids and other isoprenoids, and that reactive oxygen species promote this process.

The Arabidopsis endosperm is a temperature-sensing tissue that implements seed thermoinhibition through phyB and PIF3

This study identifies the Arabidopsis endosperm as a temperature-sensing tissue that mediates thermoinhibition via phyB and PIF3 by regulating ABA synthesis and release.

Genome-wide association mapping reveals genes underlying population-level metabolome diversity in a fungal crop pathogen

The paper maps genetic loci associated with metabolome diversity in Zymoseptoria tritici using metabolite-GWAS, identifying SNPs in coding and regulatory regions linked to metabolite production.

Photosynthetic light harvesting and thylakoid organization in a CRISPR/Cas9 Arabidopsis thaliana LHCB1 knockout mutant.

This study examines the effects of knocking out LHCB1 in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing reduced chlorophyll levels, altered photosystem absorption, and changes in thylakoid structure.

Soil composition and plant genotype determine benzoxazinoid-mediated plant-soil feedbacks in cereals

The paper shows that benzoxazinoid-mediated plant-soil feedbacks in cereals depend on soil type and genotype, with cultivar-specific effects on growth and insect resistance.

Leafminer attack induces plant-mediated facilitation of conspecific pupae in the soil

This study shows that leafminer herbivory accelerates pupal metamorphosis in tomato plants by inducing def-1-dependent systemic responses, mediated by root volatiles and phytohormone signaling.

A triresidue motif in the GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE 3.3 C-tail interacts with IMPAIRED SUCROSE INDUCTION 1 and controls long distance wound signaling

The paper identifies a triresidue motif in GLR3.3's C-tail that interacts with ISI1, essential for wound signaling and jasmonate defense responses in Arabidopsis.

VAPYRIN attenuates defence by repressing PR gene induction and localized lignin accumulation during arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis of Petunia hybrids

This study shows that VAPYRIN suppresses defense mechanisms in Petunia hybrids during arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis by preventing PR gene induction and localized lignin accumulation.

Two distinct phases of chloroplast biogenesis during de-etiolation in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper uses 3D imaging and proteomic data to identify two distinct phases of chloroplast biogenesis during de-etiolation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Tissue-specific volatile-mediated defense regulation in maize leaves and roots

This study investigates whether maize roots respond to herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) like leaves, finding no significant changes in root traits or herbivore resistance.

Variable Effects on Growth and Defence Traits for Plant Ecotypic Differentiation and Phenotypic Plasticity along Elevation Gradients

The paper evaluates ecotypic differentiation and phenotypic plasticity in growth and defence traits of two plant species along elevation gradients, finding fixed differentiation in defence and plasticity in growth traits.

Molecular dissection of early defense signaling underlying volatile-mediated defense priming and herbivore resistance in rice

This study shows that indole, a volatile compound, primes early defense signaling in rice, enhancing resistance to herbivores by upregulating key signaling components like OsMPK3 and OsWRKY70.
