Emily R Larson, [email protected] Vesicle transport is one of those molecular processes that is easy to take for granted. From cell expansion and polarised growth to protein regulation and signalling, vesicle trafficking plays its unsung part. We tend to believe that we know a lot about this…

RETINOBLASTOMA was originally identified as a tumor suppressor gene in animals. A basic and core function of its protein is to control cell proliferation via regulating cell cycle entry. RB protein is also involved in regulating cell differentiation and organ specification. In plants, RBR (RB-Related)…

Plants often experience high light (HL) intensities in the field, many times in conjunction with elevated temperatures. Such conditions are a serious threat to agriculture production, because photosynthesis is highly sensitive to both HL intensities and high-temperature stress. During HL stress, the…

Glyphosate is the world’s most commonly used herbicide, owing to its high efficacy, broad spectrum, and systemic mode of action. Most plant species cannot significantly metabolize glyphosate, which is a major factor contributing to its lethality in plants. However, the widespread adoption of glyphosate-tolerant…
