TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: It is reported that autophagy, a nonplastidial process, participates in leaf starch degradation and contributes to transitory starch degradation by sequestering SSGLs to the vacuole for their subsequent breakdown.

TL;DR: The plant autophagic machinery targets the virulence factor βC1 of Cotton leaf curl Multan virus for degradation through its interaction with the key autophagy protein ATG8, which represents a novel anti-pathogenic mechanism that plays an important role in antiviral immunity in plants.

TL;DR: Autophagy-related protein 3 (ATG3) interacts with the cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GAPCs) to regulate autophagy in Nicotiana benthamiana plants and it is found that oxidative stress inhibits the interaction of ATG3 with GAPCs.
