Our analyses suggest dysregulated mRNA decay & accumulation of transcripts encoding master regulators of xylogenesis. Tissue-specific developmental reprogramming & de novo xylem formation ultimately increase the plant's water storage capacity & resistance to drought stress. (5/5)

We show that TRADE triggers sustained phosphorylation of VARICOSE via co-option of ABA-independent SNF1-Related Protein Kinases 2, which are known to control rapid and transient intracellular signaling for adaptation to osmotic stress and root development. (4/5)

Our findings underpin that sphingolipid production contributes to the role of the trans-Golgi network as a multi-domain sorting compartment and is required for defense against pathogen invasion.

Here, we provide evidence that INOSITOL PHOSPHORYLCERAMIDE SYNTHASE 2 (IPCS2) is involved in proper delivery of the ATP-binding cassette transporter PEN3 to polarized plasma membrane domains at plant-microbe interaction sites.

Many thanks to the Lipka lab for this wonderful collaboration!

Getting interested in cross-linking mass spectrometry in plants 🪴 , SFB1664. Let’s see how it goes 😬…@unihalle.bsky.social @dfgpublic.bsky.social
