New Endoplasmic Reticulum Sorting Mechanism Was Discovered

By Isabel CSPB, News, Plant Science

Protein sorting in the secretory pathway is essential for cellular compartmentalization and homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the biosynthetic and folding factory of secretory cargo proteins. The cargo transport from the ER to the Golgi is…

What shedding light on plant growth could mean for cancer

By Isabel News, Plant Science

Understanding how plants process light is key to improving crop yields. Light helps plants know when to grow and flower at the right time. Plants find light using proteins called photoreceptors. The research team uncovered how proteins called UBP12 and UBP13 help regulate…

Gene Hunting Leads Researchers to Solve Mystery of Inhibition of Awn Elongation in Sorghum

By Isabel News, Plant Science

An awn is a needle-like structure seen in grass species, whose presence or absence in plants is controlled genetically. However, this mechanism is poorly understood in sorghum, a cereal widely consumed around the world. Now, researchers from Japan have identified…

Pea and lentils invest in root system development differently

By Isabel Agriculture, News, Plant Science

Underneath the surface, plant roots are hard at work. Roots, of course, are how plants get water and minerals from the soil. But digging into how different root systems affect crop yields has been challenging for researchers.

The secret carbon decisions plants are making about our future

By Isabel News, Plant Science

New research has revealed that plants make their own ‘secret’ decisions about how much carbon to release back into the atmosphere via a previously unknown process, a discovery with “profound implications” for the use of plants as carbon stores.

Indigenous Borneans knew a tree was two distinct species— genetic analysis confirms they were right

By Isabel Botany, News, Plant Science

Over 200 years ago, a Spanish botanist described Artocarpus odoratissimus, a species of fruit-bearing tree found in Borneo and the Philippines. The Iban people, who are indigenous to Borneo, know the tree to have two different varieties, which they call lumok and pingan, distinguished…
