🌱🛡️ Grow or defend? Plants must constantly choose.
A new study led by T. Heitz & colleages reveals how Jasmonic Acid Oxidases (JAOs) help rice fine-tune this balance, even without stress.

Rice JASMONIC ACID OXIDASES control resting jasmonate metabolism to promote growth and repress basal immune responses
The jasmonic acid oxidase pathway shapes resting jasmonic acid homeostasis and impacts the growth-defense tradeoff in rice.

Schematic illustrating contrasting resource allocation strategies between CO2 assimilation and PSII heat tolerance. (A) CO2 assimilation is prioritized over PSII heat stability and (B) PSII heat stability is prioritized over CO2 assimilation. (C) Temperature response curves for CO2 assimilation and PSII quantum yield for two species exhibiting contrasting responses, as presented in Fig. 4C. The schematic highlights shifts in ATP and NADPH investment between PSII maintenance and Rubisco activation energy. The large curved arrow indicates the direction of resource allocation involving ATP, NADPH, and the energetic costs of D1 and turnover of other proteins. Red colour represents higher temperatures, whereas blue indicates lower temperatures

List of invited papers to the Accelerating progress in plant science via AI-driven research special issue and paragraph introducing the special issue: Advances in genotyping and phenotyping technologies have resulted in heterogeneous data from different model plants and crops. Whilst the resulting data have been integrated with state-of-the-art approaches from data science, artificial intelligence (AI) offers an untapped potential for innovative usage of these data sets. This special issue will provide detailed overviews and case studies of how AI has transformed predictive models that address diverse problems, from gene function prediction and analysis of cellular networks to prediction of complex crop phenotypes. The special issue will also point at challenges related to data handling and reproducibility in AI-driven research. The special issue is published in association with the SEB Annual Conference Antwerp 2025.
