A PIF4-PUB9-DSK2A signaling loop integrates skotomorphogenesis and carbon starvation response in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractWhen seeds germinate under soil, the emerging seedlings undergo a period of darkness. Short-term darkness promotes skotomorphogenesis, whereas prolonged darkness leads to carbon starvation, triggering a transition from growth to autophagy-mediated survival. The molecular mechanism by which plants…

The GLASSY HAIR3 pectate lyase family protein drives papillae formation on trichome cell walls
UncategorizedAbstractNumerous papillae structures form on the cell wall surface of Arabidopsis trichomes. Papillae do not develop in the Arabidopsis glassy hair3 (glh3) mutant. Cloning of the GLH3 gene revealed that a member of the pectate lyase gene family is required for papillae formation. GLH3 pectate lyase expression…
Identification and Characterization of OsSSIP, a Conserved Immune Peptide Regulating Rice Defense
UncategorizedAbstractRice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, poses a serious threat to crop yield; however, immune-active small secreted peptides associated with this disease remain largely uncharacterized. In this study, we identified OsSSIP, a pathogen-inducible peptide in rice. OsSSIP-related similar sequences…
Pollen-expressed methionine synthases in Nicotiana tabacum regulate pollen development and germination
UncategorizedAbstractMethionine synthases (MetEs) are essential for plant metabolism and are highly expressed during reproductive processes. Despite their importance, the subcellular localization of MetEs and their specific roles and regulatory mechanisms in plant reproduction remain unclear. To address these knowledge…
