E-Cadherin Negatively Regulates hESCs Endodermal Differentiation under Varied Substrate Stiffnesses

E-Cadherin Negatively Regulates hESCs Endodermal Differentiation under Varied Substrate Stiffnesses

An in vitro model was used to elucidate the effects of E-cadherin complexes on definitive endoderm-directed differentiation of hESCs, when the cells were seeded on polyacrylamide hydrogels with varied stiffnesses. [Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] Full ArticleSee the Story
Theme issue: Crops under stress

Theme issue: Crops under stress

They May 29 issue of Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. B. similarly addresses the pressing questions of how crop plants will continue to feed the world in spite of the rapidly changing climate. This issue covers some of the same topics as the Science special issue on heat stress but goes beyond heat to cover drought stress, salinity stress, and flooding. There are too many outstanding review articles to… SourceRead Article
Multimerization of IAA3 via ROS suppresses lateral root formation in air gaps

Multimerization of IAA3 via ROS suppresses lateral root formation in air gaps

Root growth and branching is strongly tuned to environmental conditions including soil compaction, nutrient availability, and the presence of water, with auxin having a major role in regulating root architecture. Here, Roy et al. have demonstrated how auxin contributes to a suppression of root branching in a dry region, which is known as xerobranching (from the Greek word xēros, meaning dry).

Special Science Issue: Plants and Heat

The June 12 issue of Science has a focus on plants and heat that includes several excellent review and research articles. In a very interesting review, Singh Yadav et al. discuss the complex and fascinating question of how plants sense temperature, emphasizing both the biophysical nature of temperature perception and the dispersed nature of it in plants. Sam Yeaman wrote a very accessible… SourcePlantsRead Article

Artificial condensates can boost metabolic engineering

Nicotiana benthamiana is widely used to reconstruct complex, multi-step metabolic pathways for research or industrial purposes. This is enabled by rapid and high-level protein expression after agroinfiltration. Within cells, as well as membrane-bound organelles, nonmembrane-bound biomolecular condensates can spontaneously form with high concentrations of specific proteins and biochemicals.

The shape of adaptation: Evolution of venation patterns in plants

Leaf venation patterns display remarkable diversity across both living and fossil plant lineages, yet key questions remain about when and how these architectural differences emerged and what functional roles they serve. In their recent review, Mantos et al. explored the evolutionary history of venation traits and vein sizes across vascular plants using a dataset of 1,000 species… SourceRead Article

Elucidation and recreation of the biosynthetic pathway for taxol

Paclitaxel (sold as Taxol) is taxane diterpene natural product of yew trees (Taxus spp.) and a potent stabilizer of microtubules that is effective in treatment of cancers. However, it has proven difficult to elucidate its biosynthetic pathway, and commercial production still relies on extracting an intermediate, baccatin III, from yew tissues. In an elegant new work by McClune and Liu et al. SourceRead Article

PIN auxin transporters facilitate polar transport of synthetic phenoxyacetic acid herbicides

Synthetic herbicides are widely used in agriculture to control weeds, often by targeting the physiological pathways regulated by auxins, plant hormones that induce root growth and development. PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin transporters facilitate the polar transport of natural auxins such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) out of the cell. To determine whether phenoxyacetic acid herbicides (synthetic auxins)… SourceAgricultureRead Article

Review. Going beyond the model: When different plants have different plans

In a recent review, Nieves-Cordones and Rubio highlight the species-specific strategies used by Arabidopsis and crop plants to regulate potassium (K⁺) and sodium (Na⁺) transport, which challenges the universality of Arabidopsis thaliana research. In Arabidopsis, K⁺ uptake is largely mediated by AKT1-type voltage-gated channels, whereas crops like rice and tomato rely more heavily on HAK5-type K⁺/ SourceRead Article

Why Regulations in Plant Gene Editing Are a Must

100% Center coverage: 2 sources
While some scientists argue that agricultural gene editing regulations are overly restrictive, a new paper from the University of Adelaide emphasizes the importance of clear regulations to ensure that new technologies are used safely and responsibly.South Australia · South AustraliaSee the Story
