Plant Biology Highlights: Cell Articles 2016

Image
Plant biologists mostly put their focus on plant specific journals such as The Plant Cell, Plant Physiology, Nature Plant, The Plant Journal, Journal of Experimental Botany, Plant, Cell & Physiology, Molecular plant etc. Apart from these journals, striking findings about plant sciences are also published in Science, Nature, Cell, PNAS etc. This is the last month of 2016. I was going through major journals and trying to find out what I missed. Definitely I missed so many which are not directly linked to my research or study. So, I have decided to compile all plant biology related articles from major non-plant specific journals and summarize. In this post, I've summarized from Cell. Cryptochromes interact directly with PIFs to control plant growth in limited blue light    Sun-loving plants have the ability to detect and avoid shading through sensing of both blue and red light wavelengths. Higher plant cryptochromes (CRYs) control how plants modulate growth in response

Plants functional traits have globally consistent effects on competition Phenotypic traits and their associated trade-offs have been shown to have globally consistent effects on individual plant physiological functions , but how these effects scale up to influence competition, a key driv

So, I have decided to compile all plant biology related articles from major non-plant specific journals and summarize. In this post, I've summarized from Science.   Cyclic programmed cell death stimulates hormone signaling and root growth development in Arabidopsis   As plant roots grow through the soil, lateral roots emerge to reach more resources. In this paper, Xuan  et al.  showed that programmed cell death sets the course for lateral root d
