Proposed mechanism by which lysine malonylation enhances rice resistance to herbivores/viruses via metabolic/chromatin modulation, with the histone deacetylase OsHDA711 as a negative regulator. Additional panels illustrate data and morphological results supporting these findings.

GIGANTEA acts as a dynamic #signal integrator, integrating #environmental cues like temperature and photoperiod to regulate circadian control as well as flowering and #stress responses in #Arabidopsis.

#PlantSci #growth #development #botany

Diagram illustrating the many ways that GIGANTEA (GI) acts as a dynamic signal integrator, integrating photoperiod and temperature signals to regulate flowering. Under high temperatures, suppression of GI liquid–liquid phase separation promotes flowering. This illustrates how plants coordinate photoperiodic and thermosensory cues to fine-tune development. GI also links stress responses and circadian control, highlighting its central role in environmental signal integration.

A working model of miR172a-ERF416/413 module in the regulation of soybean seed traits. miR172a most likely cleaves the ERF416 and ERF413 to promote KIX8-1 expression but inhibit SWEET10a expression for the reduction of seed size/weight.
