Albornos et al. show how alterations in galactose side chains of type II arabinogalactans affects pectin & hemicellulose deposition in #Arabidopsis secondary cell walls, which in turn influences recalcitrance to enzymatic degradation
@plantenzo.bsky.socialIn this week Plant & Zo weekly roundup I also talk about what CAM plants are is and this week’s scientific articles and plant science in the media.

@plantenzo.bsky.socialBut what about the roots, do roots respond in a similar way when wounded. Afterall hungry insects don’t restrict themselves to the above ground tissues. The authors of this week’s paper highlight set out to find out more. 👇

@plantenzo.bsky.socialWhen a leaf detects that it is wounded, it quickly sends a signal to the other leaves. When visualised this signal is a wave that travels through the above ground tissue. 👇

@jxbotany.bsky.social🌾🧬 REVIEW 🧬🌾
Neupane et al. review challenges to functional interpretation of rice WRKY TFs, including multifunctionality, redundancy, context dependency, and complex regulation, and outline emerging strategies to solving those challenges.
![Fig. 1.Classification and conserved domain structure of the WRKY TF family in rice [modified from X. Chen et al. (2019)]. The WRKY family is divided into three major groups, with Group II and III further subdivided based on the type of their WRKY domains and zinc-finger motifs. Group I proteins contain two WRKY domains (NT: N-terminal and CT: C-terminal) followed by a C2H2-type zinc-finger motif. Group II proteins contain a single WRKY domain followed by a C2H2-type motif. Group III proteins contain a single WRKY domain and C2HC-type zinc finger motif. Green boxes indicate the conserved WRKY heptapeptide, while the orange boxes show the zinc-finger motifs (C, cysteine; H, histidine; N, asparagine; R, arginine; T, threonine; X, any amino acid). Dashed lines and associated numbers indicate variable regions between motifs, highlighting structural diversity within the family. Created in BioRender. Neupane, K.

@jipb.bsky.socialCan #vitamin accumulation in #plants be improved by targeting storage capacity itself?
Cai et al. think so, reporting that #engineering endosperm storage compartments enables simultaneous enrichment of multiple vitamins in #rice.
