It takes two to be you: promoter motif pairs keep immune responses within cell identity boundaries
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefBeing a multicellular organism is not an easy task. Proper functioning of individual cell types with different functions requires coordination of gene expression to determine cell identity, but also regulatory mechanisms to respond to environmental cues. The root may appear simple at first sight, but…

Tomatoes turn pale in the heat: high temperature reduces red and green pigmentation via phytochromes
Blog, Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: News and Views, ResearchThe gardeners among us know that direct sunlight is a prerequisite to obtain full-sized, bright red tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruits. Indeed, light increases the accumulation of yellow and red carotenoid pigments, particularly lycopene, in ripe tomato fruits while it also boosts chlorophyll levels…

SnRK1-ZmRFWD3-Opaque2: A Nexus of Seed Nutrient Accumulation and Diurnal Cycles
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefPlant seeds store nutrients in the form of protein, starch, and oil to support seed germination and seedling establishment. The seed nutrient reserves are supplied with carbon and nitrogen assimilated in vegetative tissues, where primary metabolism oscillates in a circadian manner (Farré and Weise,…
