In this *sweet* new #OpenAccess study, Cho et al. demonstrate that #sucrose promotes #flowering in rice by mediating the stability of a regulatory protein that represses flowering.

This flow diagram shows that, in response to high sucrose, the E3 ligase IDEAL PLANT ARCHITECTURE 1 INTERACTOR 1 mediates the K48-linked polyubiquitination of the flowering repressor Grain and heading date 7 (Ghd7), leading to its degradation and thereby accelerating flowering in rice.

Mystery solved!#Soybean plants maintain a consistent level of Pi within #root hairs even when there's an external Pi deficit-but how?!
The key? Mechanisms of vacuolar #phosphate efflux...

@wileyplantsci
#PlantScience #CellBio #CropScience #development #botany

Under Pi deficiency, two vacuolar Pi efflux transporters in soybean, GmVPE1 and GmVPE2, are transcriptionally upregulated by the low-Pi responsive GmRSL2, leading to the remobilization of vacuolar stored Pi to enable root hair growth.
