The CAPE1 peptide confers resistance against bacterial wilt in tomato

Resistance against bacterial wilt in tomato is linked to variety-specific proteomic changes; the CAPE1 peptide restricts Ralstonia solancearum growth in pl

Jierui Zhao (Dagdas Lab @plantophagy.bsky.social ) shows that cell-fate dependent upregulation of autophagic flux in Arabidopsis root hair cells promotes plant salt stress resilience by sodium ion sequestration to the vacuole www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cell-type specific autophagy in root hair forming cells is essential for salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Autophagy is a vital cellular quality control pathway that enables plants to adapt to changing environments. By degrading damaged or unwanted components, autophagy maintains cellular homeostasis. Whil...

Qiangnan Feng (Nowack lab @moritznowack.bsky.social @psb-vib.bsky.social ) shows that cell-type specific elevated autophagy in root hairs extends their lifespan by suppressing premature senescence and age-induced programmed cell death www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Root hair lifespan is antagonistically controlled by autophagy and programmed cell death

Root hairs are tubular tip-growing extensions of root epidermal cells that enhance root surface area for water and nutrient uptake. While mechanisms governing root hair fate, polarity, and tip growth ...

A bacteria-based Band-Aid helps plants heal their wounds

Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

Biological band-aids for plants? 🩹🌿

A study just published at #ScienceAdvances from Núria Sánchez-Coll’s lab at CRAG @bactodeath.bsky.social reveals that bacterial cellulose promotes plant tissue regeneration via two key mechanisms 👀

Have a look at our new story on how Bacterial Cellulose works miracles in plant wound healing by activating regeneration via concurrent activation of ROS, defense and cytokinin signalling. In collaboration with @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social @icmabcsic.bsky.social
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Exogenous bacterial cellulose induces plant tissue regeneration through the regulation of cytokinin and defense networks

Bacterial cellulose application concurrently targets cytokinin- and ROS-associated defense responses to induce plant regeneration.

New paper alert! The Dagdas group @plantophagy.bsky.social discovered that the molecule ATG8 protects the vacuole when the cell wall is damaged. This mechanism ensures that the highly pressured vacuole, essential to the plant cell, remains intact. Read more: bit.ly/4aLCZK9
