Review: Age is NOT just a number (Trends Plant Sci)
Plant Science Research WeeklyAging of plants is marked by the growth and differentiation of individual organs, as well as transitions of the whole plant through developmental phases: juvenile, vegetative adult, and reproductive phase. In their recent review, Rankenberg et al. discuss how abiotic stress responses vary in plants with…
Longer telomeres, earlier flowering: Natural variation in plant telomere length is associated with flowering time (Plant Cell)
Plant Science Research WeeklyTelomeres (from Greek words meaning "end part") are highly repetitive DNA sequences at chromosome ends that guard against degeneration during cell division. Though all eukaryotes possess telomeres, extensive interspecific variation exists for telomere lengths (300bp in yeast to 150kb in tobacco). Telomere…
Three-dimensional reconstructions of haustoria in two parasitic plant species in the Orobanchaceae (Plant Physiol)
Plant Science Research WeeklyParasitic plants form haustoria, which are specialized multicellular structures that penetrate into their host’s vasculature and act as conduits for nutrients. The molecular and genetic contributors to haustorium development and function are well described. Here, Masumoto et al. have provided new…
Convergence of sphingolipid desaturation across over 500 million years of plant evolution (Nature Plants)
Plant Science Research WeeklyIf you remember your biochemistry, lipids that are saturated (without double bonds) pack more tightly and therefore have a higher melting temperature than those that are unsaturated, therefore bend and pack less tightly (think of margarine versus oil). Plants can modify their membranes in a temperature-responsive…
