Zhang et al. report that in Populus, #gravity, not mechanical strain, redirects auxin and initiates tension #wood formation, revealing how #trees sense orientation, reshape their structure, and adapt to their #environment.

ALT Diagram including whole plant illustrations and a stem cross-section micrograph to illustrate how gravity-induced PIN3b polarization redirects auxin fluxes and transcriptional reprogramming to drive tension wood formation in Populus.

Had a very exciting visit to Syria Aleppo. Preparing for the winter planting. Lots of interest for ICARDA to come back and take up the responsibilities for seed production and variety releases @ICARDA @CGIAR @CropTrust

The approval of Malaika and Glen potato varieties is more than a scientific milestone —it is hope for farmers. @IITA_CGIAR @icipe @Cipotato @JamesHuttonInst @CgiarFarming @IITA_CGIAR @CGIAR @kalromkulima @KephisKe @FIPS_Africa @NemAfrica
🥔 Malaika & Glen potato varieties are a big step in the fight against PCN. Through strong partnerships, including NemAfrica’s involvement, these varieties are now approved & moving into large-scale seed multiplication @IITA_CGIAR @icipe @Cipotato @JamesHuttonInst

This new research shows that leaf oil accumulation in engineered tobacco alters abiotic stress responses by reducing stomatal aperture.
Using PlantArray, researchers tracked whole-plant transpiration in real time, revealing the physiological consequences of this metabolic shift

Natural plant populations maintain diverse resistance genes, but crops often lack this diversity, making them vulnerable to rapidly evolving pathogens. @XiaoxiaoZhangA et al. used DNA shuffling on barley Mla7 and Mla13 genes to create MLA variants, some gaining the ability to recognize the powdery mildew effector AVRA13. Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-11-24-0…
ALT Representative images showing the outcome of cell death assays for MLA7L902S in Nicotiana benthamiana. Agrobacterium strains carrying Mla13, Mla7, or Mla7L902S were co-infiltrated with Agrobacterium strains carrying AVRA13-V2, AVRA13-1, or AVRA7-2 into N. benthamiana leaves. Images were taken 5 days after infiltration. Cell death is indicated by yellow to dark spots on the leaves. The numbers indicate the numbers of leaves showing cell death phenotypes as a proportion of the total number of leaves infiltrated.

Editor’s Pick! Pathogenic bacteria use Type 3 effectors to suppress host defenses. The cassava pathogen Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis (Xpm) causes severe disease, but its effector functions are not well understood. @dianagdlc et al. show that the Xpm effector XopAE suppresses plant defenses. @adrianabernalg doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-08-24-0…
