How do plants prepare for an attack?🌱 A team led by Hans-Henning Kunz @kunzlab.bsky.social identified ion channels in chloroplasts that play a key role in connecting early stress signaling with the plant’s defense machinery. This can help them to respond faster & more strongly when stress returns.

Important role of plastid ion channels in plant stress response identified

LMU researchers have shown that specific ion channels enable rapid transmission of calcium signals to chloroplasts and strengthen the defense response to recurring stress.

The chloroplast ionome shines light on the dynamics of organellar iron homeostasis

Loss of chloroplast iron (Fe) ferritin storage leads to Fe re-shuttling into the vacuole and reduced leaf tissue Fe content.
