🌱⚖️ RESEARCH ⚖️🌱

In Marchantia, amyloplasts function as statoliths in parenchymatous storage cells and play an important role in gravitropism; but gravitropism is not entirely abolished in the absence of starch granules - Hashimoto-Sugimoto et al.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Graphical abstract - (shortened, full abstract in paper): Gravitropism is a plant response to gravity that directs organ growth and development, playing a key role in the adaptation of land plants. While its molecular basis has been extensively studied in flowering plants, much less is known about this process in other plant lineages. Here, we investigated the gravitropic response of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, a model for early land plant evolution. In darkness, the thallus tips extended upward, forming several straight, narrow structures whose growth direction was consistently opposite to gravity and disrupted by clinostat treatment. These structures contained amyloplasts in parenchymatous cells, and their sedimentation preceded gravitropic curvature, suggesting a role as statoliths. Amyloplast sedimentation started near the tip and slowed with distance, and in more distal regions, both the size and the number of amyloplasts decreased.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi boost plant resilience by remodelling the plant-pathogen membrane interface

Mutualist-pathogen co-colonisation modulates phosphoinositide signatures at host intracellular interfaces: Nicotiana benthamiana plants expressing biosensors for PI4P and PI(4,5)P2. PI(4,5)P2 was tip-enriched at mutualist structures but evenly distributed around pathogen structures. PI4P was absent from pathogen extrahaustorial membranes but present at invasive hyphae and mutualist interfaces. Co-colonisation triggered PI4P recruitment at pathogen haustoria, and enhanced resistance to P. palmivora. Graphic by Alex Guyon.

Looking forward to Friday's Non-seed plant meeting in Norwich. Together with @karimaelm.bsky.social, we wrote a Review about the last year meeting. We discuss about the latest advances and the importance of using in models. Thanks @biologists.bsky.social and @biologyopen.bsky.social. #PlantScience
Non-seed plant research in the spotlight
Summary: With non-seed plant research gaining momentum and a vibrant community emerging, this Meeting Review highlights the growing impact of diverse model systems on key questions in plant evolution.
