Endogenous signalling peptides play diverse roles during plant growth, development and
stress responses. Research in recent years has unravelled peptides with previously known …

Cell polarity refers to the asymmetric distribution of cellular components, structure, and
function within a cell. Most instances of cell polarity in plants involve single cells or groups of …

Fertilization of an egg by multiple sperm (polyspermy) leads to lethal genome imbalance
and chromosome segregation defects. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the block to polyspermy is …

Pollen-pistil interactions establish interspecific/intergeneric pre-zygotic hybridization barriers
in plants. The rejection of undesired pollen at the stigma is crucial to avoid outcrossing but …

Pressurized cells with strong walls make up the hydrostatic skeleton of plants. Assembly and
expansion of such stressed walls depend on a family of secreted RAPID ALKALINIZATION …

Spatial partitioning is a propensity of biological systems orchestrating cell activities in space
and time. The dynamic regulation of plasma membrane nano-environments has recently …

Cells maintain a constant dialog between the extracellular matrix and their plasma
membrane to fine tune signal transduction processes. We found that the receptor kinase …

Summary The FERONIA (FER)-LLG1 co-receptor and its peptide ligand RALF regulate
myriad processes for plant growth and survival. Focusing on signal-induced cell surface …

Plant signalling peptides are typically released from larger precursors by proteolytic
cleavage to regulate plant growth, development and stress responses. Recent studies …

Owing to its detrimental effect on plant growth, salinity is an increasing worldwide problem
for agriculture. To understand the molecular mechanisms activated in response to salt in …
