This weeks bumper edition of the Arabidopsis Research Roundup includes a
wide range of research topics.
Firstly Mike Roberts leads a study that adds another layer of complexity
to our understanding of the factors that control seed dormancy.
Secondly a paper from Ottoline Leyser’s lab at SLCU provides more
details regarding the role of BRC1 during shoot branching.
Next is a paper that continues David Salt’s collaborative work that aims
to understand how the root endodermal barrier influences nutrient
uptake.
Fourthly is work from Bristol that looks at the interaction between
viral infection, the structure of the leaf surface and the polarization
of reflected light.
The fifth paper features a wide collaboration from the Sainsbury lab in
Norwich and aims to more fully understand the factors that lead to
non-host infection by Phytophthora infestans.
The penultimate paper looks at the interaction of aldolase enzymes with
the plant actin cytoskeleton and the final paper brings us full circle
back to seed dormancy where researchers from University of Warwick
investigate the link between this complex growth response and the
circadian clock.
