Plants have evolved a repertoire of monitoring systems to sense plant morphogenesis and
to face environmental changes and threats caused by different attackers. These systems …

Plants exposed to abiotic stress respond to unfavorable conditions on multiple levels. One
challenge under drought stress is to reduce shoot growth while maintaining root growth, a …

Cells maintain integrity despite changes in their mechanical properties elicited during
growth and environmental stress. How cells sense their physical state and compensate for …

Sexual reproduction in angiosperms relies on precise communications between the pollen
and pistil. The molecular mechanisms underlying these communications remain elusive. We …

Sensing and signaling of cell wall status and dynamics regulate many processes in plants,
such as cell growth and morphogenesis, but the underpinning mechanisms remain largely …

In plants, perception of invading pathogens involves cell-surface immune receptor kinases.
Here, we report that the Arabidopsis SITE-1 PROTEASE (S1P) cleaves endogenous RAPID …

The plant microbiota consists of a multitude of microorganisms that can affect plant health
and fitness. However, it is currently unclear how the plant shapes its leaf microbiota and …

Receptor kinases of the Catharanthus roseus RLK1-like (CrRLK1L) family have emerged as
important regulators of plant reproduction, growth and responses to the environment …

The perception and relay of cell-wall signals are critical for plants to regulate growth and
stress responses, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We found that the …

The negative effects of environmental stresses, such as low temperature, high temperature,
salinity, drought, heavy metal stress, and biotic stress significantly decrease crop …
