Since 1998, hundreds of students have met inspiring scientists, discovered new research, built collaborations, and found opportunities to continue their career in Plant Science . 🌎🔬

After 2022 and 2024 meetings in Buenos Aires and Rosario, PBL 2026 is coming to Buenos Aires! 🇦🇷 This is more than a lecture series. It’s about science, people, conversations, and opening doors. 🚪🌱

Very happy to share our new paper in Plant Physiology! 🌽 We uncover a 2-step mechanism controlling maize phytocytokine Zip1: ZmMC9 processes PROZIP1 intracellularly, enabling export of bioactive Ct-PROZIP1, while apoplastic proteases attenuate the signal. doi.org/10.1093/plph...

Schematic model of the two-step processing and regulation of the maize phytocytokine PROZIP1/Zip1. Intracellularly, PROZIP1 associates with the ER and is cleaved by the Ca²⁺-dependent type II metacaspase ZmMC9, generating the C-terminal fragment Ct-PROZIP1. This bioactive fragment is exported to the apoplast through a Golgi-independent route, where it activates immune signaling. In a second step, apoplastic proteases, including the papain-like cysteine proteases CP1 and CP2, further process and degrade Ct-PROZIP1 and Zip1, thereby attenuating and clearing the signal.

En este artículo para Plantae reflexionamos sobre el impacto de la cultura del "éxito" en la academia y proponemos ideas para construir un entorno científico donde no solo se celebren los logros, sino también el aprendizaje que surge de los errores y los fracasos. plantae.org/the-role-of-...

The Role of Failure in Science: What Plant Researchers Learn from Experiments That Don’t Work | Plantae

What does it mean to fail in science? In scientific research, what we call “failure” does not always mean the same thing. While some failures arise from technical issues, others stem from the…
