Biological systems are continuously subjected to a high level of environmental factor/stressor complexity, and this complexity has been gradually increasing in recent years due to climate change and rising pollution levels. The simultaneous...

The nitrogen (N) cycle is traditionally framed as a microbe-dominated process, with plants treated largely as passive sinks. We challenge this dichotomy by proposing a codriven framework where N cycling emerges from tight plant-microbe core...
Modular cytokinin evolution: Integrating heat stress and development during terrestrialization [0.03%]

Cytokinin signaling, long regarded primarily as a developmental regulator, has emerged as a central integrator of plant terrestrial adaptation. Comparative genomic and structural phylogenetics indicate a stepwise assembly of the phosphorela...

Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P), a trehalose synthesis intermediate and sugar phosphate, serves as a signaling molecule coordinating sucrose status with plant growth and development. Beyond its metabolic role, the T6P pathway integrates exogeno...

Plant awareness disparity is the human tendency to overlook plants, with negative consequences for education, biodiversity conservation, and sustainability. Philosophy, as a way of life, can promote plant awareness by re-examining how human...
Systemic mobile RNAs: From molecular mechanisms to agricultural applications [0.03%]
系统性移动RNA：从分子机制到农业应用

Plants employ mobile RNAs as systemic signals to coordinate growth, development, and environmental responses across tissues. Recent techniques have identified diverse RNAs that move cell-to-cell and long-distance, potentially via plasmodesm...

Artificial small RNAs (art-sRNAs) mediate highly specific RNAi in plants, but their broader use has been constrained by long precursor architectures and dependence on transgenic delivery. Recent work shows that accurate and efficient art-sR...

Many plant species exhibit chemical polymorphisms in the composition of specialized metabolites belonging to certain chemical families. This has led to the classification of chemotypes, that is, groups of plants that can be distinguished by...

As sessile organisms, plants must constantly survey their surroundings and make appropriate responses in their metabolism or development. Numerous receptors and kinases, as well as phytocytokines that play key roles in signal transduction f...
