Rewriting the code of plant immunity-
New approaches to engineering plant immunity can more broadly protect crops against pathogens and disease, once they get through regulatory hurdles.

New preprint!
SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations —reshaping how we think about axis formation.

Online Now: Timing of transcription controls the selective translation of newly synthesized mRNAs during acute environmental stress Online now:
Timing of transcription controls the selective translation of newly synthesized mRNAs during acute environmental stress
Under stress, cells adapt their gene expression programs through changes in transcription and translation. It is unclear how cells determine which mRNAs are translated or repressed. Zedan et al. show that the timing of mRNA production alone determines the selectivity of translation, thereby coupling the processes of transcription and translation.
