THE PLANT CELL Welcomes New Assistant Features Editors
Blog, Pubs Pages, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: NewsThe Plant Cell welcomes 12 new Assistant Features Editors (AFEs) for 2020. They join six continuing AFEs who started in 2019. We would also like to thank all of the original AFEs who stepped down from the editorial board in 2018-2019, who helped us to establish the program and provided valuable input…
AvrRpm1, a 28-year Old Mystery Solved
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellReddit et al. show that an effector protein from a pathogen modifies a host factor by ADP ribosylation, thereby activating defenses.

Background:
To protect themselves against disease, plants employ a family of intracellular receptors called…
Personal Trainer: bHLH121 Functions Upstream of a Transcriptional Network of Heavy Lifters Involved in Balancing Iron Levels
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefIron is a cofactor of numerous plant proteins that function in processes ranging from redox reactions during photosynthesis to respiration. Typical soils contain approximately 1–5% iron, but much of this iron is not readily accessible to plants due to low solubility. Nongraminaceous plants help solubilize…

Phosphorus Sensing by LST8 Acts as a TOR Guide for Cell Growth in Chlamydomonas
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefPlant cell growth is often limited by the availability of two key nutrients, phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). As in mammals and yeast, a kinase known as TOR (target of rapamycin) is a key nutrient-responsive regulator of primary metabolism and cell growth in plants (Gonzalez and Hall, 2017; Dobrenel…
