This week’s GARNet research roundup begins with a set of papers looking
at aspects of the plant defence response with a focus on the cell wall.
Firstly work from Mike Deeks’ lab in Exeter assesses the role of FORMIN4
during pre-invasion cell wall apposition. Secondly Sara Pose and Paul
Knox (Leeds) are involved with a study looking at how altered cell wall
lignin composition alters the defense response. Finally Joe McKenna and
Cyril Zipfel are co-authors on a Norwegian-led study that looks at the
influence of plant cell wall integrity maintenance in immune signalling.
Relatedly is a study from the Devoto lab at RHUL looks at the role of
the defence hormone methyl jasmonate in Arabidopsis cell culture.
Next are two papers that research different aspects of the plant ER.
Verena Kriechbaumer (Oxford Brookes) looks at plant ER-localised
Lunapark proteins whilst a study from the University of Warwick provides
a preliminary structural analysis of the RTNLB13 reticulon protein.
The seventh and eight papers are involved with the plant response to
different growth conditions. Research from University of Nottingham
looks at the response of the cortical cell layer of the root meristem to
low phosphate conditions whilst work from University of Southampton
investigates the relationship between nitrate and copper signaling.
The next paper is from Emily Flashman’s lab at the University of Oxford
and looks at the role of plant cysteine oxidases as oxygen sensors
whilst the tenth paper features John Doonan (Aberystwyth University) as
a co-author and investigates how a histone acetyltransferase affects
trichome development.
Finally is a paper from Pierre Baudal and Kirsten Bomblies (John Innes
Centre) that uses Arabidopsis arenosa as a model to investigate the
emergence of novel flowering time alleles in populations that have
colonised along railway corridors.
