Crop plant development is strongly dependent on nitrogen availability in the soil and on the efficiency of its recruitment by roots. For this reason, the understanding of the molecular events underlying root adaptation to nitrogen fluctuations is a primary goal to develop biotechnological tools for sustainable agriculture. However, knowledge about molecular responses to nitrogen availability is de...<br/><br/>Alessandro Manoli, Maura Begheldo, Andrea Genre, Luisa Lanfranco, Sara Trevisan, Silvia Quaggiotti (2014) <i>Journal of experimental botany</i> <i></i> <i></i> 65: 1 185-200<br/>

Ourmiaviruses became the object of recent attention for their unusual taxonomic placements among plant viruses. The ourmia melon virus (OuMV) RNA3 encodes a 22-kDa coat protein (CP). Besides its role in virion formation, the OuMV CP facilitates systemic virus spread. In Nicotiana benthamiana, an eGFP-CP fusion protein was localized in the nucleus and preferentially in the nucleolus.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), play an important role in signalling in various cellular processes. The involvement of H(2)O(2) in the Medicago truncatula-Sinorhizobium meliloti symbiotic interaction raises questions about its effect on gene expression.

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is widespread throughout the plant kingdom and important for plant nutrition and ecosystem functioning. Nonetheless, most terrestrial ecosystems also contain a considerable number of non-mycorrhizal plants. The interaction of such non-host plants with AM fungi (AMF) is still poorly understood.
