Following completion of Arabidopsis thaliana sequencing projects, multiple resistance gene analogues (RGAs) have been identified. In this work a review of the current state of knowledge available in protein databases and scientific articles is presented. Putative resistance genes were identified by using BLAST searches as well as HMM fingerprints (the latter to infer existence of characteristic domains). The representation of all five classes of putative resistance genes in Col-0 ecotype was examined, along with the statistics on RGAs present on all five chromosomes of Arabidopsis thaliana.

A high-throughput sequencing identified 1283 lncRNAs in anthers at different stages in Arabidopsis and their relationship with protein-coding genes and miRNAs during anther and pollen development were analyzed. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulatory molecules involved in various biological processes. However, their roles in male reproductive development and interactions with miRNAs remained elusive.

Organisms adapt to predictable environmental changes via a biological mechanism called priming. Phototropin (phot) is a plant-specific blue light photoreceptor that mediates daily light-induced responses, such as chloroplast relocation, stomatal opening, and phototropism, to optimize photosynthesis. Phot also functions as a thermosensor for chloroplast relocation that may sense daily temperature decreases at night, thereby modulating light-induced responses at dawn; however, this hypothesis has not yet been fully explored.

The plastidial α-glucan phosphorylase (PHS1) can catalyze the elongation and degradation of glucans, but its exact physiological role in plants is not completely deciphered. A plethora of studies have indicated that PHS1 is involved in transitory starch turnover, both in photosynthetic tissues as well as reserve starch accumulation in sink organs of multiple species, by exerting its effects on the plastidial maltodextrin pools. Recent studies have also established its role in the mobilization of short maltooligosaccharides (MOSs), thereby assisting in starch granule initiation.

Activities of the chloroplasts and nucleus are coordinated by retrograde signaling, which has crucial roles in plant development and environmental adaptation. However, the connection between chloroplast status and nuclear genome stability is not well understood. Chloroplast state transitions allow the plant to balance the absorption capacity of the photosystems in an environment in which the light quality was changing.

High-temperature stress, also referred to as heat stress, often has detrimental effects on plant growth and development. Phytochromes have been implicated in regulating plant heat stress responses, but the role of blue-light receptors, such as cryptochromes, in plant blue light-dependent heat stress response has remained unclear. We found that the blue light receptor cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) negatively regulates heat stress tolerance (thermotolerance) in Arabidopsis.
