In plants, copper (Cu) acts as essential cofactor of numerous proteins. While the definitive
number of these so-called cuproproteins is unknown, they perform central functions in plant …

Zinc fingers (ZFs) are among the most structurally diverse protein domains. They interact
with nucleic acids, other proteins and lipids to facilitate a multitude of biological processes …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential hormone in plant immunity, but its receptor has remained
elusive for decades. The transcriptional coregulator NPR1 is central to the activation of SA …

Five versions of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii reference genome have been produced
over the last two decades. Here we present version 6, bringing significant advances in …

Abscisic acid (ABA) reduces accumulation of potentially toxic cadmium (Cd) in plants. How
the ABA signal is transmitted to modulate Cd uptake remains largely unclear. Here, we …

The transition metal copper (Cu) is essential for all living organisms but is toxic when
present in excess. To identify Cu deficiency responses comprehensively, we conducted …

Interest in exploiting algae as a biofuel source and the role of inorganic nutrient deficiency in
inducing triacylglyceride (TAG) accumulation in cells necessitates a strategy to efficiently …

Microorganisms play a dominant role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients. They are
rightly praised for their facility for fixing both carbon and nitrogen into organic matter, and …

Plant reproductive organs are vulnerable to heat, but regulation of heat-shock responses in
inflorescence is largely uncharacterized. Here, we report that two of the SQUAMOSA …

Copper is a critical regulator of plant growth and development. However, the mechanisms by
which copper responds to virus invasion are unclear. We previously showed that SPL9 …
