When to Sleep? CHT7 is Critical for Nutrient-dependent Quiescence in Chlamydomonas
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefTo survive nutrient scarcity, unicellular organisms establish a reversible quiescent state in which cells cease growth and division and switch metabolism to an energy-conserving mode. When nutrients become available again, cells exit from quiescence and resume growth and division. The mechanistic details…

Know Your Roots: A Transcriptomic Exploration of Key Life History Traits in the Model Lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefLand plants (embryophytes) evolved from a freshwater charophycean algal predecessor over 450 million years ago and have since separated into the diversity of plant lineages observed today. A key factor in the expansion of plant life on land was the evolution of rooting structures and a vasculature that…
Silencing Transposons is Important for Pollen Development in Capsella
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellWang et al. reveal that viable pollen formation in Capsella requires the function of a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00938
Background: Transposons, or “jumping genes”, are kept silent by a plant-specific pathway that starts with DNA-dependent RNA…
