Nature Plants, Published online: 10 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01772-2A seed reactivates its genome to germinate. By creating a single-cell atlas of germinating embryos, we show that gene expression is highly dynamic and ce…
Nature Plants, Published online: 10 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01768-yBy comparing signalling of two receptor pathways in the same cell-type, the study describes maintenance of signalling specificity at a single-cell level …
Nature Plants, Published online: 10 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01771-3This study reports a transcriptome atlas of the germinating Arabidopsis embryo at single-cell resolution. It demonstrates that the cells of the embryo tr…
Nature Plants, Published online: 06 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01775-zThermogenesis, which is present in a small but diverse range of extant plant lineages, increases the odds of pollination by providing heat rewards for in…
Nature Plants, Published online: 06 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01779-9The authors show that dysbiotic microbiota can cause severe autoimmunity conditions in Arabidopsis plants, a concept that is reminiscent of autoimmunity–…
Nature Plants, Published online: 06 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01786-wThis study enhanced prime editing (PE) for dicot plants using new combinations of PE components delivered by a geminiviral replicon. This achieved up to …
Nature Plants, Published online: 06 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01782-0Abnormal microbiota and autoimmunity have been observed in plants both in the laboratory and in nature. Our work establishes a connection between these p…
Nature Plants, Published online: 04 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01781-1A key feature of the evolutionary transformation of grass cell walls is the cross-linking of interwoven arabinoxylans via ferulate units. This study disc…
Nature Plants, Published online: 04 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41477-024-01787-9Cell walls in grasses contain arabinoxylan polysaccharides decorated with ferulate groups but the mechanism by which the ferulate is attached to arabinox…
