Nutrient distribution within the soil is generally heterogeneous. Plants, therefore, have evolved sophisticated systemic processes enabling them to optimize their nutrient acquisition efficiency. By organ-to-organ communication in Arabidopsis thaliana , for instance, iron (Fe) starvation in one part of a root drives the upregulation of a high-affin...

Phosphoribulokinase (PRK), one of the enzymes in the Calvin–Benson cycle, is a well-known target of thioredoxin (Trx), which regulates various enzyme activities by the reduction of disulfide bonds in a light-dependent manner. PRK has two Cys pairs conserved in the N-terminal and C-terminal regions, and the N-terminal one near the active site is tho...

Ceramides (Cers) and long-chain bases (LCBs) are plant sphingolipids involved in the induction of plant programmed cell death (PCD). The fatty acid hydroxylase mutant fah1 fah2 exhibits high Cer levels and moderately elevated LCB levels. Salicylic acid glucoside level is increased in this mutant, but no cell death can be detected by trypan blue sta...

The advancement of metabolomics in terms of techniques for measuring small molecules has enabled the rapid detection and quantification of numerous cellular metabolites. Metabolomic data provide new opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of plant metabolism that can improve the health of both plants and humans that consume them. Although majo...

The circadian clock is an internal timekeeping system that governs about 24 h biological rhythms of a broad range of developmental and metabolic activities. The clocks in eukaryotes are thought to rely on lineage-specific transcriptional–translational feedback loops. However, the mechanisms underlying the basic transcriptional regulation events for...

A plant's architecture contributes to its ability to acquire resources and reduce mechanical load. Arabidopsis thaliana is the most common model plant in molecular biology, and there are several mutants and transgenic lines with modified plant architecture regulation, such as lazy1 mutants, which have reversed angles of lateral branches. Although s...

Over the past few decades, eukaryotic linear genomes and epigenomes have been widely and extensively studied for understanding gene expression regulation. More recently, the three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organization was found to be important for determining genome functionality, finely tuning physiological processes for appropriate cellular res...

Cold tolerance is regulated by a variety of transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes. Except for the well-characterized C-repeat binding factors (CBFs)-dependent transcriptional cascade, the mechanisms of cold tolerance mediated by other transcriptional regulatory networks are still largely unknown. Here, we used the assay for transposase...

Aluminum (Al)-tolerant tobacco cell line ALT301 derived from SL (wild-type) hardly exhibits Al-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared with SL. Molecular mechanism leading to this phenotype was investigated comparatively with SL. Under normal growth condition, metabolome data suggested the activation of glycolysis and lactate fermentation ...

To understand how the body of plants is made, it is essential to observe the morphology, structure and arrangement of constituent cells. However, the opaque nature of the plant body makes it difficult to observe the internal structures directly under a microscope. To overcome this problem, we developed a reagent, ClearSee, that makes plants transpa...
