Plant cell cortical microtubules are located beneath the plasma membrane and direct the location of cellulose synthases during interphase, influencing cell morphology. Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) regulate these microtubules in response to growth and environmental stimuli. This review focuses on recent advances in understanding microtubule nucleation mechanisms in plants and the spatiotemporal regulation of cortical arrays via phytohormone signaling. Emphasis is placed on the conserved nature of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC) and plant-specific components. The discussion includes the role of the Augmin complex and the distinct function of the Msd1-Wdr8 complex in plants. We also explore the effects of hormone signaling, particularly brassinosteroids, on the microtubule regulatory apparatus. The interplay between hormone signaling pathways and microtubule dynamics, including phosphorylation events and post-translational modifications, is also addressed. Finally, the impact of environmental signals and the role of protein post-translational modifications in regulating microtubule organization are suggested for future research.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used industrial compound commonly found in various everyday plastic products. Known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, BPA can enter the human body through multiple pathways. Prenatal exposure to BPA not only disrupts placental structure and function but also interferes with normal steroid metabolism.

Radish is an important annual root vegetable crop, whose yield is largely dependent on taproot thickening and development. However, the regulatory network of WOXs-mediated taproot development remains poorly understood in radish. Herein, the RsWOX13 was classified in an ancient clade of the WOX gene family that harbors a conserved homeodomain.

For commercial laying hens, the continuous high-intensity ovulation process leads to a significant accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the granulosa cells, inducing oxidative stress, which accelerates ovarian aging and shortens the peak laying period. The molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. Therefore, we modeled the processes of oxidative stress and antioxidant in chicken granulosa cells.

In women globally, breast cancer ranks as the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths, making up about 25% of female cancer cases, which is pretty standard in affluent countries. Breast cancer is divided into subtypes based on aggressive, genetic and stage. The precise cause of the problem is still unknown.
