Li, Zhang, Liu et al. demonstrate that the E3 ligase TaGW2 enhances wheat drought tolerance by promoting the degradation of the transcription factor TaARR12. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koad307 By Shumin Li, Zhensheng Kang and Hude Mao State Key Laboratory of Crop Stress Biology for Arid…

Targeting a given protein for degradation at a specific time can be very useful when investigating its function in the cellular context. In this paper, Huang et al. present an inducible protein degradation system tailored for plants, named E3-DART. The system is based on the specific interaction between…

Wei et al. discover a new transcriptional and post-translational regulatory module, MaBAH1-MaMYB60, that regulates chlorophyll catabolism and green ripening in bananas under high temperature. By Wei Wei, Yingying Yang, Prakash Lakshmanan, Jianfei Kuang, Wangjin Lu, Xuequn Pang, Jianye Chen and Wei…

Hasegawa, Reyes et al. discover a link between the ubiquitination of a key membrane trafficking regulator and carbon/nitrogen nutrient stress.  Background: Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that functions in numerous cellular processes by serving as a molecular signal, such as protein…

Plants need to maintain an optimum level of iron (Fe) for normal growth and development. Many Fe-responsive molecular players have been identified in Arabidopsis, including the IRON MAN (IMA) peptides. These peptides are induced by Fe deficiency, but their role in maintaining Fe homeostasis remains poorly…
