🌿To #grow or not to grow...🌿

Schematic illustration of NRT1.1B-SPX4-NLP4 or NLP3 response patterns in six different states. States I–IV correspond to plants exposed to constant low-nitrate (LN) or high-nitrate (HN) conditions, as discussed in Ma et al. (2025). States I and II depict a stress-free condition, while states III and IV depict a stress condition, in which abscisic acid (ABA) molecules (red circles) bind to NRT1.1B exclusively under constant LN (Figure 1 State III). Under constant HN conditions, instead of ABA molecules, nitrate ions bind to NRT1.1B, and nitrate is transported from the outside to the inside of the cell (Figure 1 State IV). Abscisic acid molecules are substituted by nitrate. As a reference, the transient application of nitrate ions (green circles) is also included for states V and VI, as discussed in Hu et al. (2019) (note that NLP3 is used here instead of NLP4).

Diagram describing how, when it infects apple (Malus domestica), the acid-producing fungal pathogen Valsa mali secretes VmAGP1 to hijack the receptor-like kinase MdLecRK2, triggering kinase oligomerization and subsequent phosphorylation of the vacuolar H+-ATPase MdVHAc”1. This cascade drives vacuolar acidification, malate compartmentalization, and cytosolic pH reduction, establishing an optimized microenvironment for fungal proliferation.

Can you have the best of both worlds? Xu et al. think so!
They report that the artificial thiourea derivative, Y21, serves as a GA-signaling agonist *and* an #auxin analog, promoting #seed germination and #root #development.

➡️https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.70068
@WileyLifeSci
#JIPB #CropSci

The synthetic compound Y21 acts as a gibberellin (GA)-signaling agonist and an auxin analog, promoting the interaction between GA and the GID1C receptor to degrade DELLA proteins, and binding to the auxin receptor TIR1 to degrade Aux/IAAs. Consequently, Y21 enhances seed germination, root development, and tolerance of low-phosphorus conditions.

Stylized rendering of a raspberry plant, with multiple varieties of fruit, a stem represented by a DNA helix, and chromosomes as roots. In the background is an additional DNA helix and a molecular model of anthocyanin. The diagram represents findings from a multi-omics study of wild raspberry cultivars, analyzing their genetic relationships, identifying centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploring fruit quality regulation, and the discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruit.

Zhang et al. call for a more proportionate and #science-based regulatory framework for genetically modified #plants in this review of Du et al.'s work on the role of sensor–helper NLR pairs in cross-kingdom #pathogen defense.
