ATG8 delipidation is not universally critical for autophagy in plants

This study shows that ATG8 delipidation is essential for autophagy in Chlamydomonas but dispensable in Arabidopsis, highlighting evolutionary divergence in autophagy mechanisms.

Visual Clustering of Transcriptomic Data from Primary and Metastatic Tumors - Dependencies and Novel Pitfalls

The paper evaluates how data transformation and dimension reduction methods affect clustering of transcriptomic data from metastases and primary tumors, finding no strong link between tumor site and cluster formation.

Glucose intolerance in aging is mediated by the Gpcpd1-GPC metabolic axis

This study identifies Gpcpd1-GPC metabolic pathway perturbation in aging muscle as a driver of glucose intolerance.

CLCd and CLCf act redundantly at the TGN/EE and prevent acidification of the Golgi stack

This study shows CLCd and CLCf prevent TGN/EE hyper-acidification by regulating V-ATPase distribution, essential for male gametophyte development.

Pharmacological and genetic manipulations of Ca2+ signaling have contrasting effects on auxin-regulated trafficking

The paper investigates how pharmacological and genetic manipulations of Ca2+ signaling affect auxin-regulated PIN trafficking, finding contrasting results between exogenous Ca2+ manipulations and genetic mutants.

The Arabidopsis V-ATPase is localized to the TGN/EE via a seed plant specific motif and acts in a partially redundant manner with the tonoplast enzyme

This study identifies a seed plant-specific motif in Arabidopsis VHA-a1 that targets the V-ATPase to the TGN/EE and shows partial functional redundancy with tonoplast-localized VHA-a2 and VHA-a3.

Axenic in-vitro cultivation of nineteen peat-moss (Sphagnum L.) species as a resource for basic biology, biotechnology and paludiculture

The paper establishes axenic in-vitro cultures of 19 Sphagnum species to provide sustainable founder material for research and applications.

Pathogen-induced pH changes regulate the growth-defense balance of plants

This study shows that pathogen-induced pH changes regulate plant growth and defense by modulating cellulose synthesis and fungal pathogenicity through COMPANION OF CELLULOSE SYNTHASE proteins.

Pyrophosphate modulates stress responses via SUMOylation

This study shows that pyrophosphate modulates stress responses by inhibiting SUMOylation, affecting cold and heat stress sensitivity in plants and yeast.
