Structures of human telomerase with BIBR1532 reveal novel mechanism of inhibition.
Abstract Human telomerase processively adds telomeric repeats (dGGTTAG) to chromosome 3′-ends to maintain telomere length. While mostly absent in somatic cells, telomerase is aberrantly upregulated...
Structures of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins.
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins constitute the largest family of RNA-binding proteins in land plants, playing crucial roles in organellar gene expression through sequence-specific RNA recognition....

Metabolic engineering of bread wheat improves grain iron concentration and bioavailability.
SummaryBread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is cultivated on more land than any other crop and produces a fifth of the calories consumed by humans. Wheat...
Spatial transcriptomics reveals expression gradients in developing wheat inflorescences at cellular resolution.
Abstract The diversity of plant inflorescence architecture is specified by gene expression patterns. In wheat (Triticum aestivum), the lanceolate-shaped inflorescence (spike) is defined by rudimentary...

Structural basis for non-AUG translation regulation by 5MPs.
Abstract The cellular proteome is regulated by translation initiation on AUG or non-canonical (non-AUG) start codons 1–3 . Non-AUG initiation remodels proteome during stress and...

Imaging of Molecular and Developmental Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Reproductive Tissues.
ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, have profound effects on plant reproduction, often leading to reduced fertility and yield. Reproduction in...
Analysis of the Distribution of Symplasmic Tracers During Zygotic and Somatic Embryogenesis.
Plasmodesmata (PD) are membraneous channels that span cell walls of adjacent cells to establish the symplasm. These connections are unique to plants and enable the...
Observation of Vacuoles in Arabidopsis Developing Pollen Grains with Whole-Cell Electron Tomography.
Arabidopsis thaliana developing pollen grains serve as an excellent system for studying vacuole dynamics. Here, we present a methodological approach that utilizes the serial tomography...
