Unveiling vacuole biogenesis: Tubular networks are present in plant meristem cells
Plant Science Research WeeklyA recent paper by Scheuring and colleagues investigates vacuole biogenesis in meristematic cells of Arabidopsis thaliana, challenging earlier models of vacuole formation. Vacuoles are crucial organelles responsible for various cellular functions, yet their formation has remained puzzling for quite some…
Vacuole formation in the female gametophyte
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellHu and Yu et al. demonstrate that BIN2-VLG module regulates vacuole formation in female gametophyte.
By Li-Qin Hu, Shi-Xia Yu, and Wen-Hui Lin
Background: In Arabidopsis, the development of the female gametophyte (FG) within the ovule is essential for plant reproduction and seed yield. Formation…
