Once viewed mainly as metabolic intermediates, small metabolites are increasingly recognized as spatially and temporally regulated signals that coordinate plant development and adaptation. Understanding these metabolite-based regulatory processes could reveal new strategies to improve crop resilience, productivity, and...

Photorespiration secures oxygenic photosynthesis from metabolic constraints arising from the oxygenation reaction of Rubisco in today's oxygen-rich atmosphere. Beyond this protective function, it is vital for primary metabolism, cellular redox balance, and stomatal regulation. Importantly, photorespiration has emerged...

A myriad of metabolite signals have been proposed to operate in plants. By contrast to the situation in microbial and mammalian systems, however, except for those characterized in phytohormone research, there is a massive gap in information concerning the perception mechanism underlying non-hormonal metabolite signalin...

Phase separation, which drives the formation of dynamic and reversible membraneless biomolecular condensates has emerged as a novel molecular strategy for adaptation to environmental stresses. In this review, (i), summarize how this process enables rapid and precise signal integration and regulation, (ii), integrate re...

Analysis of natural variation in SlGRF10 in over 1,000 tomato accessions revealed that increased single-nucleotide polymorphism diversity in SlGRF10 is associated with lower fruit weight, which suggests that putative impaired activity contributes to reduced fruit weight, while breeding-induced reduction of genetic vari...

This study uncovers a rare case in which a deletion of just two amino acids is sufficient to generate a potent dominant-negative regulator, designated SmMYB1alf-D, which enables reliable prediction of fruit color and provides a breeding strategy to precisely manipulate anthocyanin metabolism.
