Utilization of photoassimilates for growth and development requires the Arabidopsis copper deficiency response regulator SPL7
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellBy Anna Schulten and Ute Krämer, Department of Molecular Genetics and Physiology of Plants, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany
Schulten and colleagues explore the reasons behind the growth defects seen in the spl7 mutants, and discover that they cannot utilize the plentiful sugars they accumulate.

OsPIL15 Regulates Stomatal Aperture by Coordinating Red Light and Abscisic Acid Signaling
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellLi et al. discover that OsPIL15 interacting with OsHHO3 forms the OsPIL15-OsHHO3 transcription factor complex to promote the binding of OsPIL15 to the promoter regions of OsABI5 and then reduce stomatal aperture through the ABA signaling pathway https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koac244
