Article Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant stress adaptation, growth and reproduction. Despite extensive ABA-Ca signalling links, imaging ABA-induced increases in Ca concentration has been challenging, except in guard cells. Here we visualize ABA-triggered [Ca] dynamics in diverse organs and cell types of Arabidopsis thaliana using a genetically encoded Ca ratiometric sensor with a low-nanomolar Ca-binding affinity and a large dynamic range. The subcellular-targeted Ca ratiometric sensor reveals time-resolved and unique spatiotemporal Ca signatures from the initial plasma-membrane nanodomain, to cytosol, to nuclear oscillation. Via receptors and sucrose-non-fermenting1-related protein kinases (SnRK2.2/2.3/2.6), ABA activates low-nanomolar Ca transient and Ca-sensor protein kinase (CPK10/30/32) signalling in the root cap cycle from stem cells to cell detachment. Surprisingly, unlike the prevailing NaCl-stimulated micromolar Ca spike, salt stress induces a low-nanomolar Ca transient through ABA signalling, repressing key transcription factors that dictate cell fate and enzymes that are crucial to root cap maturation and slough. Our findings uncover ABA-Ca-CPK signalling that modulates root cap cycle plasticity in adaptation to adverse environments.

Type I interferons enhance human dorsal root ganglion nociceptor excitability and induce TRPV1 sensitization.

Type I interferons (IFNs) are critical cytokines for antiviral defense and are linked to painful diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and neuropathic pain in humans. IFN-α therapy can cause myalgia, headache, joint and abdominal pain. Studies in rodent models demonstrate that direct action of IFNs on sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) promotes hyperexcitability but rodent behavioral data on IFNs are conflicting, with reports of both pro- and anti-nociceptive actions.

Beneficial microbiomes significantly modulate root hair morphogenesis, yet the underlying signalling pathways remain unclear. Through comprehensive phenotypic analysis, we demonstrated that Azospirillum brasilense, a well-known plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), promotes root hair development by prolonging the elongation period. The promotion of root hair growth by A.

In plants, metacaspases-cysteine proteases-have gained attention for their roles in programmed cell death (PCD). However, to date, their proteolytic activity has not been established as a direct executioner of PCD, analogous to caspases in animals. In this regard, the specific executioners of PCD remain to be identified in plants, leaving the process less well understood than in animals.

Plants respond to phosphorus scarcity by adjusting root architecture and activating physiological and biochemical processes aimed at optimizing the uptake, transport, and efficient use of this nutrient. Phosphate, the main phosphorus available form is perceived in the root cap in a process involving several molecular components, including the transcription factor SOMBRERO and bacterial-type ferroxidases that enhance the uptake and transport of iron, whose accumulation triggers the production of reactive oxygen species, stops mitosis and halts root growth. In this process, auxins, cytokinins, jasmonic acid, abscisic acid and the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid orchestrate the formation of root hairs and lateral roots as well as the expression of Pi transporters in roots and anthocyanins in leaves.

Stem canker of coffee (SCC) is caused by , , and , which induces symptoms such as cankers, wilting, yellowing, and dieback of plagiotropic and orthotropic twigs, leading to the death of the coffee plants. The absence of a standardized inoculation method to assess the disease hampers the development and implementation of effective strategies to manage and mitigate the impact of SCC. This study evaluated the efficacy of three inoculation methods in inducing SCC, and it was carried out in both laboratory and greenhouse conditions.
