There are a bumper crop of papers in this edition of the Arabidopsis
Research Roundup. First from the University of Manchester is a paper
that identifies a protein involved in plant programmed cell death.
Secondly are two papers from the University of Bristol that highlight
the role of viruses in the reflectivity of plant leaves and an
assessment of the growth parameters of Arabidopsis on different
soil-types.
Thirdly are three papers from University of Edinburgh that either use
CRISPR-Cas technology to develop virus-research plants, investigate the
relationship between photoperiod and metabolism or present a method for
assessment of protein S-nitrosylation.
Fourthly is a paper that includes a contribution from the University of
Leeds that investigates the evolutionary and functional relationship of
the WOX gene family.
Finally is a study that highlights the role of the AUGMIN complex during
microtubule activity and that includes a contribution from the
University of Leicester.
In addition, although not involving Arabidopsis, we should mention an
exciting study from Gerben van Ooijen (Edinburgh) that has discovered a
conserved circadian mechanism based on magnesium rhythms that is linked
to energy expenditure. http://goo.gl/J05Twh
