Short-term memory of warm daytime in Arabidopsis
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellMurcia et al. discover how plants store information about daytime temperatures to control stem growth during the night.
By Germán Murcia, Cristina Nieto, Romina Sellaro, Salomé Prat, and Jorge J. Casal
Background: Plants increase their stature in response to warm temperatures by enhancing stem…

Uncovering new start sites for plant viral protein synthesis
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellChiu et al. characterize hidden viral genes in tomato yellow leaf curl Thailand virus.
Background: When viruses such as begomoviruses infect plants, they hijack the host translation machinery to drive the expression of their proteins. This process causes viral disease, leading to great yield losses…
