Plant Systemic Immunity Comes Full Circle: A Positive Regulatory Loop for Defense Amplification
The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefThe plant immune system is effective in conferring resistance to various invading pathogens and pests. Membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat proteins (NLRs) recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns and pathogen…

Special issue: Orchestrating the proteome with post-translational modifications (J. Exp. Bot.)
Plant Science Research WeeklyI guess we're well past the stage of thinking "one gene - one protein", but even a single polypeptide isn't really one protein, due to the huge number of different types of post-translational modification (PTM) it can be subjected to. These are summarized in the illustration that accompanies the editorial…
Review: New insights into the plant epitranscriptome ($) (J. Exp. Bot.)
Plant Science Research WeeklyJust like the epigenome is the collection of epigenetic marks on DNA, the epitranscriptome is the collection of epigenetic marks on mRNA. Vandivier and Gregory review our current understanding of the epitranscriptome, with a focus on N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and 5-methylcytosine (m5C), and their various…
