ASPB Plant Science Research Articles of the Week – April 4, 2024

Plant Physiology Article of the Week: A High-Resolution Gene Expression Map of the Medial and Lateral Domains of the Gynoecium of Arabidopsis The spotlight is on Valentín Luna-García, Judith Jazmin Bernal Gallardo, Martin Rethoret-Pasty, Asher Pasha, Nicholas J. Provart, and Stefan de Folter. In their study, they used precise laser-assisted microdissection and high-throughput RNA sequencing to describe the transcriptional profiles of the medial and lateral domain tissues of the Arabidopsis gynoecium.

The Plant Cell Article of the Week: Salicylic Acid in Plant Immunity and Beyond The spotlight is on Steven H. Spoel and Xinnian Dong. They propose new areas for exploration of salicylic acid functions, which are likely to uncover new findings which advance our understanding of SA metabolism in plant immunity.
