📘PCP latest Research Highlight 2/2💐 ✨Editor's Choice-Free Access! 'Gene regulation in early #Arabidopsis embryos by a #MCRS1-MYB protein complex' ✨Article by Huan Howard Huo et al.: doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #EarlyEmbryo #TranscriptionalRegulation #Plantsci

📘PCP latest Research Highlight 1/2 'Chemical induction of stomatal aperture' ✨First-author spotlight: Airi Oh💐 @Biobiouniuni @jsyppmeeting ✨Article link: doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… ✏️Also Read Commentary by Kaori Sako💐: doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #Stomata #ChemicalBiology

🚅Advance Access: Regular Paper💐 How plants adapt to low CO₂ condition? Yoneda et al. suggest plants sense low CO₂ as stress and adjust via #SalicylicAcid and #AbscisicAcid signaling. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #Arabidopsis #PlantAdaptation #Plantsci


🚅Advance Access for Upcoming Special Issue '#Photosynthesis': Review💐 Sonoike provides a comprehensive overview on different types of PSI #photoinhibition, as well as the protective mechanisms from the inhibition. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #PhotosystemI #Plantsci


🚅Advance Access for Upcoming Special Issue 'The Biology of #ParasiticPlants'🌱: Regular Paper💐 'Divergent control of #SeedGermination by cytokinins in weedy broomrapes and witchweeds' Guillaume Brun et al. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #cytokinin #strigolactone #plantsci


🚅Advance Access: Regular Paper💐Open Access! Kuwayama et al. show AG126 and its derivatives specifically block blue light– and fusicoccin-induced phosphorylation of PM H⁺-ATPase and stomatal opening. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #Arabidopsis #Stomata #ChemicalBiology #Plantsci


🚅Advance Access: Regular Paper💐 How is fruit coloring regulated🍅? Zhang et al. suggest that SISPL6c (SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like family) can be a key regulator in NO-delaying fruit coloring process in #tomato. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #Plantsci


Photosystem II: Commonality and Diversity with Emphasis on the Extrinsic Subunits academic.oup.com/pcp/article/do… @PCP_EIC
🚅Advance Access: Regular Paper💐 How plants 'guard' themselves from hazardous gases such as SO₂? Lia Ooi et al. demonstrate that H+/nitrate antiporter CLCa plays a crutial role in SO₂-induced response in stomatal #GuardCells. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #Arabidopsis #Stomata


🚅Advance Access: Regular Paper💐 New insights on MeSA...👃 Using tomatoes with altered #SalicylicAcid carboxyl methyl transferase (SAMT) expression to modulate MeSA levels, Sorg et al. suggest that SAMT plays a role of 'node' in defense signaling. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc…



🚅Advance Access: Review💐 Takahashi et al. offer valuable updates on stomatal CO₂ sensing, focusing on the regulation of gas exchange, interactions with environmental stimuli, underlying signalling in guard cells, and current open questions. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #Stomata
