Why Regulations in Plant Gene Editing Are a Must

100% Center coverage: 2 sources
While some scientists argue that agricultural gene editing regulations are overly restrictive, a new paper from the University of Adelaide emphasizes the importance of clear regulations to ensure that new technologies are used safely and responsibly.See the Story

Review: Genomic tools and breeding tools to design salinity-smart food crops

Most food crops are relatively intolerant to soil salinity, yet globally soils are becoming increasingly salinized. This excellent review by Raza et al. pulls together the myriad approaches that are being used to develop salinity-smart crops. It starts with an overview of how soil salinity affects crops plants and some of the mechanisms that facilitate salinity tolerance. The rest of the review… SourceRead Article

Review: Gene discovery, from Arabidopsis to crops

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the first genome sequence of a plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, (see https://doi.org/10.1038/35048692). As this review by Bevan et al. observes, this exciting accomplishment was met with some skepticism by those who felt that it was not likely to contribute to crop improvement, and would detract from traditional breeding approaches. However… SourceRead Article

Transgenerational epigenetic cold tolerance in rice

As rice has expanded northwards from its center of origin, it has been exposed to deeper and longer periods of cold. Male fertility is particularly sensitive to cold. Song et al. designed a clever strategy to study mechanisms of cold tolerance. They subjected meiotic-stage cold-sensitive rice varieties to cold and at each generation selected panicles with increased cold tolerance… SourceRead Article

Bidirectional root-shoot signaling via CCR1 regulates cluster root and nodule development in legumes

Legume plants are renowned for their ability to form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobia) in specialized root tissues called nodules. This symbiosis enables the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, a form of nitrogen that plants can readily use for growth. This trait also makes legumes valuable as green manure for sustainable agriculture. However… SourceRead Article

Review. Alternative modes of RLK function: Insights into cleavage-driven plant signaling

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) constitute a large family of membrane-bound proteins in plants. The Arabidopsis genome encodes over 600 RLKs, while the rice genome contains more than 1,000. RLKs are best known for their role in perceiving environmental stimuli and triggering downstream signaling pathways that promote stress resilience, primarily through protein–protein interactions and… SourceRead Article

The cell wall controls stem cell fate

Plants are immobile and their cells are contained within cell walls, yet they demonstrate vast post-embryonic developmental plasticity. Evidence shows that the fate of the cell is likely determined by its location within the plant, but the specific mechanisms and pathways involved are currently unknown. Zerin et al. investigated the cell wall signaling pathways that control cell fate in the… SourcePlantsRead Article

How to Prepare for Postdoc Applications and Interviews

Being a postdoc is an exciting career step, where you get to act as a researcher, but also sometimes a teacher, mentor, lab manager, project coordinator, shoulder-to-cry-on, and about every other role under the sun! But how do you prepare for this kind of role? And then, how do you show someone hiring that you are the best candidate given only a few pages and an hour long interview? SourceRead Article
