A single-cell and spatial wheat root atlas with cross-species annotations delineates conserved tissue-specific marker genes and regulators
Accurate scRNA-sequencing cluster annotation in less-studied plant species remains a major challenge due to the lack of validated marker genes. Ke et al. provide an orthology-based annotation pipeline...

Happy to see that our Cell wall integrity #CWI & #ATG8ylation #preprint found a home @natureplants www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congrats Jose, Peng, Alessia & everyone involved. Stay tuned for exciting updates on this story…
ATG8ylation of vacuolar membrane protects plants against cell wall damage - Nature Plants
ATG8ylation of the tonoplast, triggered by cell wall damage, acts as a vital vacuolar quality control mechanism that safeguards vacuolar integrity and ensures cell survival under stress.

Beautiful Brassicaceae fruit-shape diversity. And here we tell you (part of) how it’s done! rdcu.be/d3i8x
What a great collab it’s been! Thanks Yang Dong, @matmajda.bsky.social, Richard Smith and entire team. @natureplants.bsky.social @oxfordbiology.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social
Evolution of a SHOOTMERISTEMLESS transcription factor binding site promotes fruit shape determination
Nature Plants - This study identifies a molecular mechanism promoting fruit shape variation. Local meristem identity is maintained through autoregulatory activation of the STM gene to allow...
