Having the gall to mimic insects... 🪳

Hirano et al. demonstrate how to artificially induce gall-like structures in host plants by applying a new insect-derived peptide in combination with #phytohormones #auxin & #cytokinin

Text summarising the paper by Hirano et al. and biography of the first author - Tomoko Hirano. Two images inserted, one showing the first author and the other, a photo of the Arabidopsis gall-induction assay with two induced galls highlighted with a white box-frame.

Time-resolved reprogramming of single somatic cells into totipotent states during plant regeneration, https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(25)01020-7
• LEC2 reprograms somatic epidermal cells into totipotent somatic embryo founder cells • LEC2 and SPCH co-activate local auxin biosynthesis by targeting TAA1 and YUC4 • GMC-auxin state marks stomatal cells shifting from differentiation to totipotency • Transcriptional rewiring and auxin signaling drive reprogramming of stomatal cells

Hot new #PlantSci insights are on the rise!🍞
Get your slice right here in a new #OpenAccess study from Zhai et al., who report that TaSED interacts with TaSPA to synergistically regulate SDS-sedimentation volume in #bread #wheat!
doi.org/10.1111/jipb...
#PlantScience
Diagram summarizing findings that wheat TaSED is a positive regulator of SDS-sedimentation volume, an indicator of gluten strength and thus baking properties. TaSED interacts with the transcription factor TaSPA, regulating wheat storage protein gene expression, altering protein composition and affecting SDS-sedimentation volume, providing a valuable genetic resource for improving wheat quality.

🧬🍅 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🌱⚡️

⚡️ Cytidine analogs in plant epigenetic research and beyond - Dvořák Tomaštíková & Pečinka

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 3.Summary of the applications of cytidine analogs in plant research. At the molecular level, cytidine analogs are used for the activation of silenced transgenes, activation of transposable elements, and induction of DNA damage or chromosome rearrangements. These effects can lead to improved plant regeneration and changes in plant developmental programs.

The February 2025 issue of Plant Physiology is now online! Read this Focus Issue on Plant Lipids: Signaling and Metabolism here: https://academic.oup.com/plphys/issue @ASPB @OxUniPress #PlantScience
The cover image features a confocal micrograph of BODIPY-stained lipid droplets (LDs) in a castor seed (Ricinus communis), the source of valuable castor oil. Lipid droplets (LDs) are evolutionarily conserved cell organelles that store neutral lipids in the aqueous cell environment and are involved in numerous physiological processes during plant development and adaptation to environmental stresses. Cai and Horn (https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiae533) reviewed critical advances in identifying plant LD proteins, highlighted the structural features of key LD proteins that contribute to their localization and conserved (or divergent) functions across organisms, and discussed future perspectives on bridging our knowledge gaps in plant LD biology.
