A novel regulator of stomatal immunity in tomato

By Marcelo Lattarulo Campos Integrative Plant Research Laboratory, Departamento de Botânica e Ecologia, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, Cuiabá/MT, Brazil. ORCID ID: 0000-0001-6235-5120 marcelolattarulo@ufmt.br   The ability of a pathogen to successfully colonize a plant is determined in large part by its capacity to rapidly enter the host tissue.

Gearing Up the Clock of Hypocotyl Growth!

To anticipate daily changes imposed by Earth’s rotation, organisms from all domains of life have evolved an endogenous 24-h timer with daily rhythmic functions: the circadian clock. In plants, the first organisms where circadian dynamics were observed, the circadian clock processes daylength information to regulate a wide range of physiological and developmental responses (Greenham and […]
