Plants mobilize their immune defenses far earlier than scientists have believed for decades—and through a previously ...

Heterotrimeric G proteins, comprising Gα, Gβ and Gγ subunits, are central to the transduction of extracellular signals into precise intracellular responses in plants. These proteins not only regulate ...

Using newly generated 'optogenetic' tobacco plants, research teams have investigated how plants process external signals. When it comes to survival, plants have a huge disadvantage compared to many ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
