Review: What happens when it gets too hot - the vulnerability of plant reproduction in a warming world Climate change brings about higher temperatures, threatening plant populations worldwide. Higher temperatures interfere with reproductive processes such as pollen production or fertilization, even…

Plant (and many algal) cells facilitate cell-to-cell movement through specialized regulated pores called plasmodesmata that connect neighboring cells, and there is a rich literature in how plasmodesmata regulate intercellular movement for example by sealing closed following pathogen or viral infection.…

Many biological questions, from tissue-level patterning to subcellular organization, demand 3D imaging with spatial resolution beyond the limits of conventional light microscopy, or even super-resolution microscopy. Expansion microscopy (ExM) offers an elegant solution by physically enlarging biological…

The bid to understand long distance Ca2+ signaling patterns in co-ordinating whole-plant responses to systemic or induced defense have been scarce in soil-grown plants mainly due to limitations of conventional microscopy. Macro Plant Projection Imaging (MAPPI), a real-time, low-cost, dual-view fluorescence…

In humans and several mammals, the alterations in DNA methylation are a critical aging biomarker also known as the ‘Epigenetic Clock’. In this study by Dai et al., the authors examined the process of DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis plants to identify if this molecular marker of aging functions similarly…
