Shewanella-like PPP family phosphatases (SLPs) are a unique lineage of eukaryote PPP-family phosphatases of bacterial origin which are not found in metazoans. Their absence in metazoans is marked by their ancient bacterial origins and presence in plants. Recently, we found that the SLP2 phosphatase ortholog of Arabidopsis thaliana localized to the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) where it was determined to be activated by mitochondrial intermembrane space protein 40 (MIA40) to regulate seed germination. Through examination of atslp2 knockout (accelerated germination) and 35S::AtSLP2 over-expressing (delayed germination) plants it was found that AtSLP2 influences Arabidopsis thaliana germination rates via gibberellic acid (GA) biosynthesis. However, the exact mechanism by which this occurs remains unresolved. To identify potential partners of AtSLP2 in regulating germination through GA, we undertook a gene co-expression network analysis using RNA-sequencing data available through Genevestigator ( https://genevestigator.com/gv/ ).

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.
