Taking advantage of natural variation promotes our understanding of phenotypic diversity
and trait evolution, ultimately accelerating plant breeding, in which the identification of …

Messenger RNA (mRNA) translation consists of initiation, elongation, termination, and
ribosome recycling, carried out by the translation machinery, primarily including tRNAs …

Light triggers an enhancement of global translation during photomorphogenesis in
Arabidopsis, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. The phosphorylation of …

Plants intricately regulate the expression of protein-coding genes at multiple stages–
including mRNA transcription, translation, decay, and protein degradation–to control growth …

Mounting an efficient defense against pathogens requires RNA binding proteins (RBPs) to
regulate immune mRNAs transcription, splicing, export, translation, storage, and …

To ensure survival and promote growth, sessile plants have developed intricate internal
signaling networks tailored in diverse cells and organs with both shared and specialized …

The RING-type E3 ligase OsBBI1 regulates rice resistance against Magnaporthe oryzae
through modifying cell wall defenses. In this study, we report the function of an OsBBI1 …

Before the late 1980s, ideas around how the lipophilic phytocannabinoids might be working
involved membranes and bioenergetics as these disciplines were “in vogue”. However, as …

Abstract Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) plays a key role in protein synthesis and in its
regulation. The assembly of this heterotrimeric factor is facilitated by Cdc123, a member of …

In this issue of Cell Host and Microbe, Chen et al. report that global translation is increased
upon plant pathogen detection by intracellular resistance proteins. To achieve this, the …
