More plant secrets (please share)!
Nigel Chaffey examines a book that aims to plant the seed of botanical curiosity to see if it bears fruit.
Understanding the connections between plant hormones and cellulose synthesis in plants: still a great unknown!
Wang and colleagues review the relationships between key phytohormone classes and cellulose deposition in plant systems.

Strigolactones interact with other plant hormones in many situations
Strigolactones are interesting phytohormones in their own right, but Luke Omoarelojie and colleagues say we should be looking at cross-talk with other hormones too.

Can a tomato hear, and what would it listen to?
Over Christmas, a couple of papers came out that suggest plants can respond to airborne sound waves. The findings challenge many ideas about how plants respond to sound.

Ethylene modulates root cortical senescence in barley
Root cortical senescence (RCS) is a poorly understood phenomenon with implications for adaptation to edaphic stress. Schneider et al. demonstrate that ethylene modulates RCS.

Abscisic acid affects rice cell wall phosphate remobilization and P transporation
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a well-studied phytohormone known to be involved in sub-sets of stress responses in plants, such as iron (Fe) deficiency and phosphorus (P) deficiency in Arabidopsis. However, whether ABA is...
Melatonin and its relationship to plant hormones
Plant melatonin appears to be a multi-regulatory molecule, similar to those observed in animals, with many specific functions in plant physiology.
Ethylene perception determines tomato plant growth induction by soil bacteria
Plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are soil microorganisms able to interact with plants and stimulate their growth, positively affecting plant physiology and development. Ethylene is involved in plant development...
Tomato responses to resistance inducers and a biotrophic pathogen
Strategies for protecting tomato plants against pathogens include treatment with synthetic chemicals or pathogen-derived compounds and transfer of resistance genes from wild species. Satkova et al. analysed expression...
Ethylene affects cell wall remobilisation
Seeking to uncover the effects of ethylene on the metabolic process and pectin remobilising capacity of rice (Oryza sativa) that is grown in phosphorus (P)-deficient conditions, Zhu et al. find that ethylene positively...
Sodium nitroprusside and ozone in kiwifruit ripening
Despite their importance in many aspects of plant physiology, information about the function of oxidative and, particularly, of nitrosative signalling in fruit biology is limited. Tanou et al. study the ripening of...
Light quality, volatile emissions and plant–plant interactions
Mimicking the proximity of neighbouring plants using a supplemental far-red light treatment on plants.

Mechanisms for ethylene-induced aerenchyma formation
Results suggest that ethylene is perceived in all maize root tissues and cortical-cell-specific PCD is controlled downstream of ethylene perception.
