Is your Monday being *extra* Monday-ish?
Would some free #PlantScience help?
Then we've got good news for you!

Inducing plasmodesmal closure in plants activates stress responses, boosts salicylic acid levels, and enhances pathogen resistance, showcasing the essential role of plasmodesmata in plant immunity. 🌱
Yueh Cho covers recent work from the lab of Christine Faulkner.

Researchers in the laboratory of Tessa Burch-Smith, Ph.D. at the Danforth Plant Science Center and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, are conducting pioneering work to discover how plants transmit information, important molecules, and viruses between cells.

How to make connections – the role of MCTP proteins and the ER in plasmodesmata formation and cell-to-cell communication
Movement proteins, a signature of plant RNA and DNA viruses, enable cell-to-cell movement of the virus via plasmodesmata channels. This study shows that the most common movement proteins of the 30K superfamily originated from jelly-roll capsid proteins of plant viruses, emphasizing the key role of exaptation in virus evolution.
Two new posts on preLights today! 👀
The first has been written by our new #preLighter Yueh Cho (postdoc at #IPMBSinica & #AcadSinica) who covers a #preprint from Tina Schreier and colleagues which shows that light and photosynthesis trigger plasmodesmal formation in C4 dicotyledons 🌱
