Cell Wall Polymers: The Importance of Deacetylation
Research, The Plant Cell: In BriefMany of the polysaccharides that make up the plant cell wall carry acetate side groups. Notably, the degree of such acetylation is not always the same—even within the same species, it changes over the course of development and is different between tissues. While the mechanism for adding acetyl groups…
Prohibitin shuttles between mitochondria and the nucleus to control genome stability during the cell cycle
Plant Physiology: News and Views, ResearchThe prohibitin (PHB) protein family is highly conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes (Van Aken et al., 2010). Initially identified as a tumor suppressor in rat liver, PHBs in animals are localized in various cell compartments, including mitochondria, nuclei, and plasma membranes, and function as scaffold…

Review. Multicellular systems biology: Applying network science to plant organ patterning and function (Mol Plant)
Plant Science Research WeeklyI really enjoyed this review article, which very successfully introduces the reader to the why and how of how to apply network science to plant science. Bassel never veers off into abstraction or “math-speak”, but instead roots his explanations in familiar biological or ordinary terms. As an example,…
