Ethylene modulates cell wall mechanics for root responses to compaction

Soil compaction traps ethylene around roots, which causes transcriptional upregulation of Auxin Response Factor1, resulting in decreased root cortical cell wall thickness and thereby promoting root radial expansion.

Pupylation-based proximity labeling reveals regulatory factors in cellulose biosynthesis in Arabidopsis

The study used Pupylation-based proximity labelling (PUP-IT) to detect protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in plants, revealing components that regulate cellulose synthesis. The work highlights PUP-IT as a powerful tool to identify plant cell PPIs.

Long-term single-cell imaging and simulations of microtubules reveal principles behind wall patterning during proto-xylem development

Plant cell wall formation is directed by cortical microtubules, which produce complex patterns needed to support xylem vessels. Here, the authors perform live-cell imaging and simulations of Arabidopsis cells during proto-xylem differentiation to show how local microtubule dynamics control pattern formation.

Golgi-localized STELLO proteins regulate the assembly and trafficking of cellulose synthase complexes in Arabidopsis

Cellulose is produced in plants by cellulose synthase complexes (CSCs) that are assembled in the endomembrane system and then trafficked to the plasma membrane. Here Zhang et al. show that the Golgi-localized STELLO1 and 2 proteins are required for the proper assembly and distribution of CSCs in plant cells.

V-ATPase activity in the TGN/EE is required for exocytosis and recycling in Arabidopsis

The V-ATPase impaired in the det3 mutant acidifies trans-Golgi network/early endosome, and is needed for exocytosis of cargo vesicles, which are involved in recycling important membrane proteins such as the brassinoid receptor and cellulose synthase.

The companion of cellulose synthase 1 confers salt tolerance through a Tau-like mechanism in plants

The Arabidopsis CC1 protein maintains microtubule array stability and cellulose synthesis during salt stress. Here the authors show that CC1 engages microtubules via an intrinsically disordered N-terminus that suggests it controls microtubule dynamics in a similar way to the mammalian Tau protein.

Cellulose squeezes through

The glucose-based polymer cellulose is of great biological and economical importance; however, little is known about how cellulose is synthesized. Now, structural estimates of one of the cellulose-synthesizing subunits in the bacterium Acetobacter xylinum help to explain the extrusion of the newly synthesized glucan chains.

Actomyosin and CSI1/POM2 cooperate to deliver cellulose synthase from Golgi to cortical microtubules in Arabidopsis

Cellulose is synthesized by cellulose synthase complexes (CSCs), which are trafficked and delivered from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. Here Liu et al. reveal a non-canonical route for CSCs exiting from the Golgi.

A network-based framework for shape analysis enables accurate characterization of leaf epidermal cells

While cell shape is crucial for function and development of organisms, versatile frameworks for cell shape quantification, comparison, and classification remain underdeveloped. Here, the authors use a network-based framework for Arabidopsis leaf epidermal cell shape characterization and classification.

Live-cell imaging of the cytoskeleton in elongating cotton fibres

Cotton fibre grows in a protective boll that becomes a barrier for researchers when tracking the growth dynamics. Now, the cytoskeleton in elongating cotton fibres has been visualized by live-cell imaging. The cytoskeleton organization and dynamics shed light on the elongation mode of cotton fibre.

Transcriptional control of ROS homeostasis by KUODA1 regulates cell expansion during leaf development

During plant development, organ size is controlled by cell proliferation and expansion, but the molecular mechanisms involved are unclear. Here, Lu et al.show that leaf cell expansion is controlled by the KUA1 transcription factor that acts in a circadian manner and modulates the expression of genes encoding cell wall-localized peroxidases.

Xylan-based nanocompartments orchestrate plant vessel wall patterning

A xylan-rich nanodomain at pit boundaries of xylem vessels maintains distinct wall patterns by anchoring cellulosic nanofibrils at the pit borders. These nanocompartments are produced by the xylan synthase IRREGULAR XYLEM (IRX)10 and its homologues.

N-linked glycosylation is processed in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi for eukaryotic proteins. Now, a single Golgi-localized UDP-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine transporter was identified to be essential for the processing of protein N-glycosylation and the synthesis of GlcNAc-containing sphingolipids.
