Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

Pollen tubes extend rapidly via tip growth. This process depends on a dynamic actin
cytoskeleton, which has been implicated in controlling organelle movements, cytoplasmic …

Members of the NETWORKED (NET) family are involved in actin-membrane interactions.
Here we show that two members of the NET family, NET4A and NET4B, are essential for …

Active DNA demethylation is required for sexual reproduction in plants but the molecular
determinants underlying this epigenetic control are not known. Here, we show in …

Reference-quality genomes of both sexes are essential for studying sex determination and
sex-chromosome evolution, as their gene contents and expression profiles differ. Here, we …

In Eukaryotes, organelle interactions occur at specialised contact sites between organelle
membranes. Contact sites are regulated by specialised tethering proteins, which bring …

The shape of fruit apex is critical to appearance quality in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), of
which the genetic basis was poorly understood, and the use of marker-assisted breeding for …

Plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) remodelling is likely to be important for its function in
targeted protein secretion, organelle interaction and signal exchange. It has been known for …

Localized clathrin mediated endocytosis is vital for secretion and wall deposition in apical
growing plant cells. Adaptor and signalling proteins, along with phosphoinositides, are …

The ability to detect the interaction partners of a protein and how those interactions occur are
central to the study of biology. Indeed, such knowledge can provide important clues to …
