On the Inside: Molecular Regulation of Asteraceae Inflorescence Development
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideThe reproductive structures of the Asteraceae (the sunflower family), the largest family of flowering plants, are among the most complex within the flowering plants. The species in this family develop head-like inflorescences that resemble flowers. In many Asteraceae flowers, the hermaphroditic disc…

Callose is a cell wall component that is dynamically deposited and degraded during pollen development. Thanks to a new paper investigating pollen formation in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), we now know that a pollen-specific protein…
On the Inside: Feedback Regulation of Wood Formation in Poplar
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideWood formation is controlled by a number of MYB family transcription factors, which may act as transcriptional activators or repressors. Secondary wall associated NAC domains (SNDs) and vascular-related NAC domains are master regulators controlling the expression of downstream transcription factors,…
Zones of Defense? SA Receptors Have it Under Control
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefThe constant evolutionary arms race with pathogens has equipped plants with a layered immune system. As the first line of defense, membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors perceive microbe-associated molecular patterns and activate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). In parallel, R proteins –…
On the Inside: Phytochrome B and Systemic Reactive Oxygen Species Waves
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The Inside
Several recent studies have revealed that reactive oxygen species (ROS)waves propagate through plants, originating at the treated, stimulated, or stressed local tissue and spreading within minutes to the entire plant. ROS waves regulate and coordinate systemic metabolic, molecular, and physiological…
Plant Physiology welcomes 16 new Assistant Features Editors
Blog, Plant Physiology: Editorials, Pubs PagesAt the beginning of 2018, Plant Physiology initiated a program to introduce several promising early-career scientists to the editorial board and engage their expertise in assessing and writing about research published in the journal. Over the past three years, these scientists brought their passion for…
