Glycerolipid synthesis in plant cells is characterized by an intense trafficking of lipids
between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and chloroplasts. Initially, fatty acids are …

Plant vacuoles are essential organelles for plant growth and development, and have
multiple functions. Vacuoles are highly dynamic and pleiomorphic, and their size varies …

We previously reported Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods for the liverwort
Marchantia polymorpha using the hygromycin phosphotransferase gene as a marker for …

Hybrid sterility is a major form of postzygotic reproductive isolation that restricts gene flow
between populations. Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) consists of two subspecies, indica and …

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) facilitates nucleocytoplasmic transport, a crucial process
for various cellular activities. The NPC comprises~ 30 nucleoporins and is well …

Plants exhibit an ultimate case of the intracellular motility involving rapid organelle trafficking
and continuous streaming of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Although it was long assumed …

The positioning of peroxisomes in a cell is a regulated process that is closely associated
with their functions. Using this feature of the peroxisomal positioning as a criterion, we …

A high accumulation of silicon (Si) is required for overcoming abiotic and biotic stresses, but
the molecular mechanisms of Si uptake, especially in dicotyledonous species, is poorly …

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) causes severe yield losses and seed quality reduction in
soybean (Glycine max) production worldwide. Rsc4 from cultivar Dabaima is a dominant …

The cytoskeleton is an early attribute of cellular life, and its main components are composed
of conserved proteins. The actin cytoskeleton has a direct impact on the control of cell size in …
