In the Pale Red Light: Control of pre-mRNA Splicing by RRC1 and SFPS
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefPlants have armed themselves with a battalion of photoreceptors to cope with changes in light quantity, quality and direction. Light perception is especially critical when the seedling first emerges from the darkness of the soil and engages the red/far-red light photoreceptors phytochromes (phys). An…

Sugar Metabolism in Squash Nectaries and Nectar
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideFloral nectar is a sugar-rich solution produced by plants to attract animal pollinators. The best-elucidated model of nectar secretion, based on studies of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), involves the build-up and degradation of nectary starch, the resynthesis of Suc from starch-derived hexoses,…
Coregulation of Cannabinoid and Terpenoid Pathways
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideMany governments have recently enacted laws that allow for the legalization of cannabis for medical and/or recreational purposes. Unfortunately, specific labeling regulations with regard to the composition of active ingredients, serving sizes, and recommended doses are woefully lacking. The capitate-stalked…
