This model outlines a regulatory framework, integrating multiple cells and diverse signaling molecules, including salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and Ca<sup>2+</sup>. By accounting for the varying concentrations and spatiotemporal distributions of these molecules, our model aims for precision in immune defense and regulated cell death. To validate this model, a pathosystem-triggering ETI without pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) is required.

In plants grown in darkness, CRYs are present as monomers. Photoexcited CRYs oligomerize to form homo-tetramers. CRYs physically interact with non-constitutive or constitutive CRY-interacting proteins to form the non-constitutive or constitutive CRY complexes, respectively. The non-constitutive CRY complexes exhibit a different affinity for CRYs in response to light, and act by a light-induced fit (lock-and-key) mechanism. The constitutive CRY complexes have a similar affinity for CRYs regardless of light, and act via a light-induced liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) mechanism. These CRY complexes mediate blue-light regulation of transcription, mRNA methylation, mRNA splicing, protein modification, and proteolysis to modulate plant growth and development.</p>","PeriodicalId":23264,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Plant Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143060702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New, often camera-based, techniques provide objective digital data by remote and proximal sensing. We detail the B. cinerea infection process and link this with conventional and novel detection methods. We evaluate the effectiveness of current digital phenotyping methods to detect, quantify, and classify disease symptoms for disease management and breeding for resistance.

However, because microautophagy plays a vital role in cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling cellular components, we question whether it is a suitable term for a process involved in long-term storage. Additionally, because fission-type microautophagy shares mechanistic similarities with the intraluminal vesicle (ILV) formation of multivesicular bodies (MVBs), we draw parallels between microautophagy and membrane remodeling facilitated by the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT). Finally, we propose that the complex structure of cereal endosperm is an optimal tissue to study microautophagy in a plant- and tissue-specific context to decipher its molecular regulation in anabolism and catabolism.</p>","PeriodicalId":23264,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Plant Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143024966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
