HAPPY NEW YEAR, PLANT BIOLOGY COMMUNITY! What a year 2019 was! So many wonderful things happened. ASPB hosted another successful Plant Biology meeting in San Jose, CA. We spent the year celebrating The Plant Cell's 30th anniversary (check…
Review: Matrix redox physiology governs the regulation of plant mitochondrial metabolism through post-translational protein modifications
Plant Science Research Weekly
Mitochondrial metabolism provides ATP and reducing power to drive myriad reactions in the plant cell, and is constantly being fine-tuned in response to environment and demands. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, including redox reactions of methionine and cysteine and carbamylation…
Special Issue: New perspectives on crassulacean acid metabolism biology
Plant Science Research WeeklyCrassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water-conserving strategy in which stomata open at night and carbon is stored until daytime photosynthesis provides the energy to fix it. This special issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany, edited by Hultine, Cushman, and Williams, brings together a set of…
Direct conversion of carlactonoic acid to orobanchol by cytochrome P450 CYP722C in strigolactone biosynthesis
Plant Science Research Weekly
Strigolactones (SL) are a compounds that play important roles as phytohormones and as a rhizosphere signaling. Despite the great advances in their research that occurred recently, their biosynthetic pathway is still not well understood. Until now, the pathway leading to the precursor carlactonic…
Review: The impact of synthetic biology for future agriculture and nutrition
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe synthetic biology field is going to be important for the decade we began in order to face climate challenges, including food security. However, plant synthetic biology lags behind bacterial and other eukaryotic systems. Roell and Zurbriggen summarize in this review, many of the projects that are…
Pheophorbide a may regulate jasmonate signaling during dark-induced senescence
Plant Science Research Weekly
During leaf senescence, nitrogen-rich chlorophyll is broken down through a regulated process so that nitrogen-containing compounds can be reassimilated into the plant body. Chlorophyll catabolites are sequestered in the vacuole as linear tetrapyrroles known as phyllobilins, produced through the action…
