Communication between the gametophytes is vital for angiosperm fertilisation. Multiple Cr
RLK 1L‐type receptor kinases prevent premature pollen tube burst, while another Cr RLK 1L …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are regulators of plant development through allowing cells to
sense their extracellular environment. They facilitate detection of local endogenous signals, …

Dear Editor, Our understanding on the molecular regulation of abscission, the
developmentally programmed separation of plant organs, is largely owed to the discovery and …

The kinesin family is greatly expanded in plants compared with animals and, with more than
a third up-regulated in expression during cell division, it has been suggested that this …

Plants shed organs such as leaves, petals, or fruits through the process of abscission.
Monitoring cues such as age, resource availability, and biotic and abiotic stresses allow plants to …

Flavoproteins participate in a wide variety of physiologically relevant processes that typically
involve redox reactions. Within this protein superfamily, there exists a group that is able to …

Thioredoxins (Trxs) are key components of the redox system that regulates the activity of a
spectrum of target proteins through dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions. Trxs are reduced by …

Highlights • Receptor kinases can perceive diverse signals and attain output specificity while
triggering distinct downstream pathways. • FERONIA’s signaling is discussed with the latest …

The abscission of floral organs and emergence of lateral roots in Arabidopsis is regulated by
the peptide ligand INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA) and the receptor …

News and Views The evolutionary innovation of the seed fueled the expansion of flowering
plants by providing protection and expanding the dispersal range of their offspring (Baroux …
