Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recycle intracellular constituents, which
are essential for developmental and metabolic transitions; for efficient nutrient reuse; and for …

Summary (Macro) autophagy is a fundamental degradation process for macromolecules and
organelles of vital importance for cell and tissue homeostasis. Autophagy research has …

During autophagy, vesicle dynamics and cargo recruitment are driven by numerous
adaptors and receptors that become tethered to the phagophore through interactions with …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …

Autophagic turnover of intracellular constituents is critical for cellular housekeeping, nutrient
recycling, and various aspects of growth and development in eukaryotes. Here we show that …

Autophagy is an intracellular process that facilitates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
materials by the vacuole or lysosome in eukaryotes. This conserved process is achieved …

Communication between source organs (exporters of photoassimilates) and sink organs
(importers of fixed carbon) has a pivotal role in carbohydrate assimilation and partitioning …

The Atg1/ULK1 complex plays a central role in starvation-induced autophagy, integrating
signals from upstream sensors such as MTOR and AMPK and transducing them to the …

All living organisms rely on nutrients to sustain cell metabolism and energy production,
which in turn need to be adjusted based on available resources. The evolutionarily …

Autophagy is a conserved pathway for bulk degradation of cytoplasmic material by a double-
membrane structure named the autophagosome. The initiation of autophagosome formation …
