** UPCOMING SPECIAL ISSUE ** Plasmodesmata Editors: Tessa Burch-Smith & Jake Brunkard Deadline: 1st Feb 2025 Manuscripts of any format welcomed, please contact the JXB office (bit.ly/JXBissues) #JXBspecialissues 🌱🔗🌿 @pd_christine @frdanila @TinaSchreier (1/2)
Front cover of a postcard to promote an upcoming special issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany titled "Plasmodesmata". The issue will be edited by Tessa Burch-Smith and Jacob Brunkard. The images show the following. Above: silencing signals move out from veins through plasmodesmata in a Nicotiana benthamiana leaf (Jacob Brunkard); Centre: fluorescent Protein moves from a central transformed cell to neighbors through plasmodesmata (Jacob Brunkard); Far right: electronic microscopy reveals nanoscopic structure of plasmodesmata, shown in gray (top) or blue (bottom) (Tessa Burch-Smith; Tina Schreier).

😊Delighted that our recent paper on HR, virus, ROS, chloroplast, and stromules (doi.org/10.1111/nph.18425) has been featured in @plantae_org Plant Science Research Weekly. Excellent summary, @orlasherwood 🙏 🤝@NIB_FITO_SI @BrunkardLab @GrudenKristina

Chloroplast redox state changes mark cell‐to‐cell signaling in the hypersensitive response

Hypersensitive response (HR)-conferred resistance is associated with induction of programmed cell death and pathogen spread restriction in its proximity. The exact role of chloroplastic reactive...

Check out our latest preprint on how defects translation can cause very specific phenotypes. This work was led by @sykong15 and @Mingyuan2328. It was a great collaboration with M. Regina Scarpin, @BrunkardLab , Simón Álamos, @HernanGGarcia, and all. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

DRMY1 promotes robust morphogenesis by sustaining translation of a hormone signaling protein

Robustness is the invariant development of phenotype despite environmental changes and genetic perturbations. In the Arabidopsis flower bud, four sepals initiate at robust positions and times and...

science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Excited to share our new work out today in @ScienceMagazine, led by stellar postdoc Regina @hijaishin! We report the discovery of LYCHOS, a candidate cholesterol sensor for the mTORC1 kinase. Below is a brief summary of the story.

Lysosomal GPCR-like protein LYCHOS signals cholesterol sufficiency to mTORC1

A cholesterol sensor for the growth regulator protein kinase complex mTORC1 is identified.
