Where would we be without #photosynthesis?
In our latest #JIPB Commentary feature, Kushwaha et al. discuss work by Frangedakis et al. (2024) which suggests that transcription factors GLK and MYB play a crucial role in #chloroplast biogenesis in land #plants.

Genetic insights reveal plant adaptation to climate change

As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions. This challenge is especially urgent for crops—plants resilient to drought and heat are essential to secure food supply in an unpredictable future. Fortunately, plants can adapt remarkably well to diverse environments and climates: Arabidopsis thaliana, for example, thrives in regions as climatically distinct as Sweden and Italy.

ROP signaling: Exploring its origin at the dawn of multicellular plant life

Plants regulate their development with a distinct group of molecular players. ROP proteins, a group of plant-specific proteins, are known to control plant tissue formation. Now, Hugh Mulvey and Liam Dolan at the GMI show that ROP proteins evolved at the transition between unicellular and multicellular plant life. The findings were published on November 30 in the journal Current Biology.
