Plant Science Research Weekly: February 14
Blog, WWR Full PostReview: Deep learning for plant genomics and crop improvement
One of the goals of plant science is to use the molecular phenotype (genome, transcriptome, proteome) to predict the whole-plant phenotype. Deep learning approaches can potentially begin to do this, starting with a training dataset, and…
Multilayered Regulation in Senescence
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellSakuraba et al. show the existence of multilayered regulation systems for the rice ONAC054 transcription factor, which is involved in abscisic acid-induced leaf senescence in rice. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00569

Make, Modify, Move: Multilayered Regulation of ONAC054 During ABA-Induced Leaf Senescence
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In Brief‘Senescence’ originates from the Latin word senescere, to grow old. However, the process of leaf senescence is not simply the passive death of the leaf but instead represents an active and highly regulated process of nutrient remobilization from older leaves into developing parts of the plant to…

In response to stress, secondary messengers and rapid and reversible protein phosphorylation contribute to signaling cascades that generate unique signatures indicating stress type and severity. Activation of stress-induced signaling cascades…
MED25 regulates the alternative splicing of JAZ genes through recruitment of splicing factors PRP39 and PRP40
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellWu et al. investigated MED25 recruits splicing factors to regulate the alternative splicing of JAZ genes in Arabidopsis. The Plant Cell (2019). https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00583
Background: The jasmonate (JA) signaling pathway controls resource allocation between growth- and defense-related…
A Novel Regulatory Mechanism in Plant Innate Immunity
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellXing et al. use advance microscopy to show that phospholipase D functions in the response to powdery mildew. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00534
