Improving the responsiveness, acclimation, and memory of plants to abiotic stress holds
substantive potential for improving agriculture. An unresolved question is the involvement of …

Stress recovery may prove to be a promising approach to increase plant performance and,
theoretically, mRNA instability may facilitate faster recovery. Transcriptome (RNA-seq, qPCR, …

In the developing seeds of all higher plants, filial cells are symplastically isolated from the
maternal tissue supplying photosynthate to the reproductive structure. Photoassimilates must …

Although covalent nucleotide modifications were first identified on the bases of transfer RNAs
(tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), a number of these epitranscriptome marks have …

The capacity for plant stress priming and memory and the notion of this being underpinned
by DNA methylation‐mediated memory is an appealing hypothesis for which there is mixed …

In plants, the molecular function(s) of the nucleus-localized 5′-3′ EXORIBONUCLEASES
(XRNs) are unclear; however, their activity is reported to have a significant effect on gene …

Photosynthetic efficiency and sink demand are tightly correlated with rates of phloem
loading, where maintaining low cytosolic sugar concentrations is paramount to prevent the …

Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that plays an essential role under nutrient
starvation conditions and influences different developmental processes. We observed that …

Photoinhibitory high light stress in Arabidopsis leads to increases in markers of protein
degradation and transcriptional up-regulation of proteases and proteolytic machinery, but …

Climate change is making it more challenging to meet the food demands of a growing global
population. Increased food production relies on continual crop improvements to generate …
