Unraveling cold tolerance in maize
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellLi et al. discover a cold-tolerance allele that was not selected during maize domestication.
Background: Cold stress is an important environmental factor that limits plant growth, development, and geographical distribution. Maize originated in Mexico and is sensitive to low temperatures. Cold stress…
The MICROTUBULE ORGANIZATION1–KATANIN1 interaction modulates microtubule dynamics
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellBy Xiayan Liu and Fei Yu
Chen et al. explore the relationship between the microtubule-associated protein MOR1 and the microtubule-severing protein KATANIN1.
Background: Microtubules (MTs) are highly dynamic cytoskeletal structures with essential functions in cell morphogenesis and cell division.…
