1. To Grow or Not to Grow: TOR and SnRK2 Coordinate Growth and Stress Response in Arabidopsis

Author:
Rosenberger, Christina L.; Chen, Jie

Subject:
plant adaptation,   etc   ; Arabidopsis; regrowth; stress response;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... For optimal growth, plants must tightly control the switch between stress responses and regrowth upon restoration of favorable conditions. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Wang et al. (2017) reveal that reciprocal regulation of growth-promoting TOR and stress-activated SnRK2 facilitates plant adaptation to environmental variations. ...

Abstract:
... The evolution of herbicide resistance in crop weeds presents one of the greatest challenges to agriculture and the production of food. Herbicide resistance has been studied for more than 60 yr, in the large part by researchers seeking to design effective weed control programs. As an outcome of this work, various unique questions in plant adaptation have been addressed. Here, I collate recent resea ...

Abstract:
... The sessile lifestyle of plants exposes them to many challenges that must be overcome to ensure their survival. Despite their apparent lack of movement and behaviour, plants are very active organisms that constantly respond to external cues and internal signals, making fine tunings at the metabolic, cellular and tissue levels. To accomplish this, plants largely rely on their relationship between p ...

Abstract:
... Long‐standing theory predicts herbivores and predators should drive selection for increased plant defences, such as the specific production of volatile organic compounds for attracting predators near the site of damage. Along elevation gradients, a general pattern is that herbivores and predators are abundant at low elevation and progressively diminish at higher elevations. To determine whether pl ...

Abstract:
... Plant growth and development are driven by extended phases of irreversible cell expansion generating cells that increase in volume from 10- to 100-fold. Some specialized cell types define cortical sites that reinitiate polarized growth and generate branched cell morphology. This structural specialization of individual cells has a major importance for plant adaptation to diverse environments and pr ...

Although the production of phytohormones has been commonly associated with production of plant defence and stress-related traits, few studies have simultaneously investigated this phenomenon across several plant species that grow along large-scale ecological gradients. To address these knowledge gaps, we performed a common garden experiment with six Cardamine species, which collectively encompass ...

Abstract:
... Recent studies in plants and other organisms have suggested that ‘memories’ of stress events can be inherited from parent to offspring through a process known as transgenerational stress memory (TSM). However, TSM has not been adequately studied in many plant species, despite its potential role in stress adaptation. The objective of this study was to identify the effects of TSM on the development ...

Lipid flippases are integral membrane proteins that use ATP hydrolysis to power the generation of phospholipid asymmetry between the two leaflets of biological membranes, a process essential for cell survival. Although the first report of a plant lipid flippase was published in 2000, progress in the field has been slow, partially due to the high level of redundancy in this gene family. However, re ...

Abstract:
... Alternative splicing (AS), the process of removing introns from pre-mRNA and the rearrangement of exons to produce several types of mature transcripts, is a remarkable step preceding protein synthesis. In particular, it has now been conclusively shown that up to ∼95% of genes are alternatively spliced to generate a complex and diverse proteome in eukaryotic organisms. Consequently, AS is one of th ...

Abstract:
... The correct folding of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is vital for plant adaptation to adverse environmental conditions. The genes related to the ER stress response in maize are far from clear. In this study, a maize nuclear factor, NF-YC14, was identified in the regulation of the ER stress response. Overexpression of NF-YC14 improves plant ER stress tolerance and up-regulates the expr ...

Abstract:
... Mutualism between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is common, and plant populations are expected to have adapted to the AM fungal communities occupying their roots. Tests of this hypothesis have frequently been done with plant populations that are tens to hundreds of kilometers apart. However, because AM fungal community composition differs at scales < 1 km, local adaptation of plant p ...
