TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the rapid 32P-PtdOH response was primarily generated through DAG kinase (DGK), and a tentative model illustrating direct cold effects on phospholipid metabolism is presented.

TL;DR: The results suggest that I‐3‐mediated resistance is based on recognition of Six1 secreted in xylem vessels, which corresponds to the 12 kDa protein found inxylem sap of infected plants.

TL;DR: This work designed genetically encoded biosensors with distinct relative affinities and expressed them stably in Arabidopsis thaliana and found that PI(4,5)P2 is able to localize PIP2 -interacting protein domains to the plasma membrane in non-stressed root epidermal cells.

TL;DR: The findings support the idea that a regulatory loop involving plasma membrane–associated phosphoinositides modulates apical–basal PIN polarity via crosstalk between auxin signaling and the PIN polarizing machinery and provide insight into the polar domain–delineating mechanisms in plant cells that depend on apical and basal distribution of membrane lipids and are essential for embryonic and postembryonic patterning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified a homolog of a master regulator of morphological switch in the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. lycopersici, which causes vascular wilt disease in tomato by penetrating the plant roots and colonizing the vascular tissue.
