ABSTRACT Ligand recognition by cell-surface receptors underlies development and immunity in both animals plants. Modulating receptor signaling is critical for appropriate cellular responses but the mechanisms ensuring this are poorly understood. Here, we show that plant pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED peptides (CLEp) employ a similar regulatory module. In absence of ligand, dampened through association with specific type-2C protein...
Abstract Guard cell movements depend, in part, on the remodelling of vacuoles from a highly fragmented state to fused morphology during stomata opening. Indeed, full opening plant requires vacuole fusion occur. Fusion membranes is conserved process eukaryotes, with key roles played by two multi-subunit complexes: HOPS (homotypic and vacuolar protein sorting) SNARE (soluble NSF attachment receptor). tethering factor that thought chaperone SNAREs apposing into fusion-competent complex capable...
Stomata are the pores on a leaf surface that regulate gas exchange. Each stoma consists of two guard cells whose movements pore opening and thereby control CO2 fixation water loss. Guard cell depend in part remodeling vacuoles, which have been observed to change from highly fragmented state fused morphology during stomata opening. This requires membrane fusion mechanism responds rapidly environmental signals, allowing plants respond diurnal stress cues. With vacuoles being both large...
