Cai et al. shine a light on #chloroplast-produced ROS #biosynthesis in #plant #immunity, with new findings that HHL1 modulates AvrRpt2-triggered immunity by regulating ROS homeostasis in a light intensity-dependent manner.

Vertical #farming can help alleviate global issues like #urbanization, #FoodSecurity, and #ClimateChange. But challenges exist.
Can #genome editing overcome high costs, substantial energy demands, and low production efficiency?

A recent study found that #fungi use Nudix effectors to disrupt #plant #phosphate sensing by breaking down inositol pyrophosphate signals. Do these effectors affect shoot-root communication and plant nutrition-immunity crosstalk? Liu et al. discuss.

A new study by Xiang et al. reveals that, for two #sympatric Parnassia species, pre-pollination barriers play a more significant role in #reproductive isolation than post-#pollination barriers.

#Phytophthora infestans secretes numerous effectors to suppress #plant immunity. But how?
In a new #JIPB study, Liu et al. report that this devastating #pathogen targets host Rab-G3 GTPases with an atypical GTPase-activating protein.

#Silicon is crucial for #plant health and stress resilience, but for #crops like #cucumber, where it is deposited on the #fruit surface as a white bloom, it's a consumer turn-off.
What if you could turn off bloom production AND enhance stress tolerance?🔓⬇️
