How a Cyst Nematode Alters Plant Host Gene Expression
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellVijayapalani et al. find a sugar beet cyst nematode protein effector that epigenetically regulates plant rRNA gene dosage, which is a crucial requirement to promote cyst nematode parasitism. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.18.00570.
Background: Cyst nematodes are plant-parasitic animals that…

A Receptor-like Pseudokinase in Stomatal Closure
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellSierla et al. show that GHR1 is a receptor-like pseudokinase that acts in stomatal closure through its scaffolding functions rather than by directly phosphorylating its target proteins. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.18.00441.
