Sugars have a central regulatory function in steering plant growth. This review focuses on
information presented in the past 2 years on key players in sugar-mediated plant growth …

Regulation of protein synthesis is a vital step in controlling gene expression, especially
during development. Over the last 10 years, it has become clear that rather than being …

Plants dedicate a high amount of energy and resources to the production of ribosomes.
Historically, these multi-protein ribosome complexes have been considered static protein …

When a plant germinates in the soil, elongation of stem-like organs is enhanced whereas
leaf and root growth is inhibited. How these differential growth responses are orchestrated …

Leaf morphology influences photosynthesis, transpiration, and ultimately crop yield.
However, the molecular mechanism of leaf development is still not fully understood. Here …

Abiotic stress is a major environmental factor that limits cotton growth and yield, moreover,
this problem has become more and more serious recently, as multiple stresses often occur …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins (r‐proteins) perturb
various developmental processes. Whether these perturbations are caused by overall …

Plants respond to cold stress by inducing the expression of transcription factors that regulate
downstream genes to confer tolerance to freezing. We screened an Arabidopsis transfer …

Ribosomes play a basic housekeeping role in global translation. However, a number of
ribosomal-protein-defective mutants show common and rare developmental phenotypes …

The RNA exosome is the major 3′-5′ RNA degradation machine of eukaryotic cells and
participates in processing, surveillance and turnover of both nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA …
