Which metabolites tell the difference between "injured" and "dead"? 🔬💔
Arora & Chen (2025) find that specific cell wall vs. chloroplast metabolites in cellular leachate are the real biomarkers differentiating sub-lethal vs. fatal freeze stress in plants.

Can putrescine help plants survive salt stress?

Muradoğlu et al. (2025) show that applying putrescine improves growth & photosynthesis under salinity. It enhances antioxidant enzymes and maintains Na⁺/K⁺ balance, reducing damage.

How do roots signal under partial root-zone drying?
Puértolas et al. show dry roots export more ABA, while wet roots export more cytokinins, shaping shoot responses. Distinct hormone profiles explain how plants integrate soil moisture contrasts during PRD.
