Decoding the signaling precision of receptor-MAPK pathways
Plant Science Research WeeklyHave you ever wondered how cells distinguish between the diverse array of external signals traveling through similar pathways? To understand the intricacies of plant signaling mechanisms, Ma et al. used single endodermal cells of Arabidopsis roots as a model to compare two receptor pathways. One pathway…
HY5 and TZP cooperate to help plants respond to far-red light
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellLi et al. discover that HY5 and TZP, two factors helping plants respond to far-red light, mutually upregulate each other by distinct mechanisms in transmitting the far-red light signal. The Plant Cell (2021) https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koab254
