ARF7/19 activate CRF3 in response to cold via Aux/IAA degradation
Cold induces degradation of Aux/IAA proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, releasing AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR7 (ARF7) and ARF19 from Aux/IAA-mediated repression, leading to activation of CYT...

🍏 Malic acid is crucial to #apple #fruit quality.
Here, Zhang et al. report a regulatory cascade controlling malic acid accumulation, linking #jasmonate signaling and post-transcriptional regulation of fruit acidity.

#PlantSci #JIPB #microRNA
In a jasmonate-controlled regulatory pathway, MdMYC2 and MdMED25 induce production of the microRNA miR858, which cleaves the MdMYB73 transcript, dampening vacuolar proton pumps and malate transport, and lowering malic acid accumulation during ripening.

#PlantScience
In rice, OsCCX2 functions as a Na+/Ca2+ exchanger involved in cellular calcium homeostasis. This diagram illustrates how it mediates hyperosmotic-induced calcium signal clearance, which regulates the expression of key osmotic-responsive genes and facilitates initial and long-term osmotic adjustment, ultimately enhancing rice drought tolerance.
