Cellular condensates can comprise membrane-less ribonucleoprotein assemblies with liquid-like properties. These cellular condensates influence various biological outcomes, but their liquidity hampers...

A proxitome-RNA-capture approach captures the transcriptome of the archetypal condensates known as processing bodies and reveals a translational hub based

Robust development can be modulated by local protein accumulation which is sometimes manifested as polarity patterns; yet, the mechanisms that lead to these patterns are largely unknown. Using the...

To survive extreme desiccation, seeds enter dormancy that can last millennia. This dormancy involves the accumulation of protective but structurally disordered storage proteins through unknown...

The mechanisms that drive protein phase transitions are unclear. This study in plants shows that an intracellular liquid condensate formed by the lipid transferase SFH8 associates with membranes;...

This review describes the mechanism, regulation, composition, and properties of stress-related biomolecular condensates in plants.

To survive extreme desiccation, seeds enter dormancy that can last millennia. This dormancy involves the accumulation of protective but structurally disordered storage proteins through unknown...

Plant intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors often function in pairs to detect pathogen effectors and activate...

Fluorescent labelling of proteins enables the determination of their spatiotemporal localization but, sometimes, it can perturb their activity, native localization, and functionality. Spot-tag is...

We’re looking to elect early-career researchers to seven vacancies opening this August.

Positively charged repeat peptides are emerging as key players in neurodegenerative diseases. These peptides can perturb diverse cellular pathways but a unifying framework for how such promiscuous...

The use of proximity-dependent biotin labelling (PDL) approaches coupled with mass spectrometry recently greatly advanced the identification of protein-protein interactions and study of protein...

image image miRNAs that target protein coding sequences slow down ribosomes, reducing polypeptide misfolding. Coding sequence (CDS)‐targeting miRNAs are associated with slower translation, but do not...

An actin remodeling role for Arabidopsis processing bodies revealed by their proximity interactome Abstract Cellular condensates can comprise membrane-less ribonucleoprotein assemblies with liquid-…

In a systematic multi-lab study, Arora et al. apply a variety of proximity-dependent biotin labelling approaches using several different plant systems and bait proteins, to demonstrate its wide…

Noncanonical pentatricopeptide repeat-like RNA-binding proteins of the mitoribosome initiate plant mitochondrial protein translation.

Smaller plants at lower latitudes show higher variation in herbivory pressure among individuals.

In flowering plants, the asymmetrical division of the zygote is the first hallmark of apical-basal polarity of the embryo and is controlled by a MA...

Organisms cope with myriads of competing and conflicting environmental signals. These signals are often perceived by cell surface receptor kinases to mount appropriate adaptive responses. However, it...
