TL;DR: Analysis of motif enrichment, as well as comparison of transcription factor families showing altered expression over the time course, identify clear groups of TFs active at different stages of leaf development and senescence, which will underpin the development of network models to elucidate the process of Senescence.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution time series of gene expression profiles from a single Arabidopsis thaliana leaf during infection by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea was generated.

TL;DR: It is reported that DELLA-dependent growth control can be regulated independently of GA, and it is concluded that plants have developed a GA-independent mechanism to control growth.

TL;DR: The data implicate AtUBP 12- and NtUBP12-dependent deubiquitination in the stabilization of common substrates across Solanaceae and Brassicaceae which regulate disease resistance, and demonstrate that NtubP12 and AtUBp12 are bona fide deUBiquitinating enzymes capable of cleaving lysine-48-linked ubiquitin chains.

TL;DR: It is inferred that reduced pathogen susceptibility in forager bees was associated with age-related activation of specific immune system pathways, contrasting with the view that the immunocompetence in social insects declines with the onset of foraging as a result of a trade-off in the allocation of resources for foraging.
