Security Notice: This Plant Immunity is under mRNA Surveillance
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefEvery manufacture relies on a quality control process to ensure that the released product is without defects. Similarly, each transcript leaving the eukaryotic nucleus is subjected to mRNA surveillance, which helps to ensure that only flawless mRNAs are directed to translation. For example, transcripts…
Pollen surface replenished: a tapetal flavonoid transporter
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellGrunewald et al. identify a flavonoid transporter required for the deposition of flavonol-b-1,2-linked diglycosides to the outer pollen wall in Arabidopsis thaliana. The Plant Cell (2020) https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00801

A Roadmap Toward Large-Scale Genome Editing in Crops
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefIf the planet does not turn to ash before 2050, farmers will need to produce twice as much on roughly the same available arable land to feed the ever-growing world population. But since the Green Revolution of the 1950s and 1960s, progress in crop yield has been incremental. And for good reason: most…

Twin-Positive Motifs Function as Specific Plastid Targeting Signals
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefPrecise trafficking of proteins to their proper destinations in the cell, whether to an organelle, a membrane, or the cytoplasm, is required for optimal cellular function. Because most plastid proteins are nucleus-encoded and translated in the cytoplasm, proper targeting and import relies on the presence…
