Roots Calling Leaves: Oxylipins in Induced Systemic Resistance
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellWang et al. identify signals related to induced systemic resistance produced by a root-colonizing fungus. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00487
Background: Trichoderma virens is an agriculturally-relevant root-colonizing fungus that provides its plant hosts many benefits, such as increased…
Review. Gossypium genomics: Trends, scope, and utilization for cotton improvement (Trends Plant Sci)
Plant Science Research WeeklyCotton (Gossypium spp.) provides the world’s most important natural fiber, and I suspect with our growing realization of the problems with plastics there will be still more demand for it. Yang et al. review the current state of Gossypium genomics. As a crop that has been domesticated for millennia,…
Review. Same, but different: growth responses of primary and lateral roots ($) (J. Exp. Bot.)
Plant Science Research WeeklyLateral roots arising from programmed cell division from primary roots in both monocots and dicots share some similarities and dissimilarities in developmental signaling. In this review, Waidmann et al. discuss lateral root organogenesis and elongation with respect to hormone, nutrient, and abiotic conditions.…
Reciprocal cybrids reveal how organellar genomes affect plant phenotypes (Nature Plants)
Plant Science Research WeeklyA cybrid is a cytoplasmic hybrid; in other words, a cell or organism in which the cytosolic genomes (mitochondria and plastid) have a different origin than the nuclear genome; the nuclear genome is inherited solely from the paternal parent, and the cytosolic genomes from the maternal parent. Starting…
Accurate and versatile 3D segmentation of plant tissues at cellular resolution (bioRxiv)
Plant Science Research WeeklyAdvances in microscopy allow biologists to document and understand phenotypic changes at the tissue level. Despite this advancement, analysis of microscopic images to characterize changes in phenotypes is still under development. In this paper, Wolny et al. have developed an image analysis tool PlantSeg…
