Primed to persevere: Hypoxia regulation from epigenome to protein accumulation in plants Open
Plant cells regularly encounter hypoxia (low-oxygen conditions) as part of normal growth and development, or in response to environmental stresses such as flooding. In recent years, our understanding of the multi-layered control of hypoxia…

PHOSPHORUS‐STARVATION TOLERANCE 1 (OsPSTOL1) is prevalent in upland rice and enhances root growth and hastens low phosphate signaling in wheat Open
PHOSPHORUS‐STARVATION TOLERANCE 1 ( OsPSTOL1 ) is a variably present gene that benefits crown root growth and phosphorus (P) sufficiency in rice ( Oryza sativa ). To explore the ecophysiological importance of this gene, we performed a biog…

Regulation and Function of a Polarly Localized Lignin Barrier in the Exodermis Open
Multicellular organisms control interactions with their environment through the development of specialized barriers in specific cell types. A conserved barrier in plant roots is the endodermal Casparian strip (CS). The CS is made of polyme…

A suberized exodermis is required for tomato drought tolerance Open
SUMMARY Plant roots integrate environmental signals and developmental programs using exquisite spatiotemporal control. This is apparent in the deposition of suberin, an apoplastic diffusion barrier, which regulates the entry and exit of wa…

An updated nomenclature for plant ribosomal protein genes Open
Ban et al . (2014) proposed a nomenclature for ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) that reflects the current understanding of ribosomal protein evolution. In the past few years, this nomenclature has been widely adopted among biomedical resear…

Ethylene augments root hypoxia tolerance via growth cessation and reactive oxygen species amelioration Open
Flooded plants experience impaired gas diffusion underwater, leading to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia). The volatile plant hormone ethylene is rapidly trapped in submerged plant cells and is instrumental for enhanced hypoxia acclimation. How…

Reference-Guided De Novo Genome Assembly to Dissect a QTL Region for Submergence Tolerance Derived from Ciherang-Sub1 Open
Global climate change has increased the number of severe flooding events that affect agriculture, including rice production in the U.S. and internationally. Heavy rainfall can cause rice plants to be completely submerged, which can signifi…

Variation in upstream open reading frames contributes to allelic diversity in protein abundance Open
The 5’ untranslated region (UTR) sequence of eukaryotic mRNAs may contain upstream open reading frames (uORFs), which can regulate translation of the main open reading frame (mORF). The current model of translational regulation by uORFs po…
