A plant-specific protein, COST1, mediates autophagy to promote drought tolerance (PNAS)
Plant Science Research WeeklyMuch remains to be learned about the sensing and signaling mechanisms controlling growth in response to drought. To dissect how plants control drought via autophagy, Bao et al. found a plant-specific protein, COST1 (CONSTITUTIVELY STRESSED 1) containing a DUF641 (domain of unknown function 641) domain,…
