    Published online: 15 December 2021Plant tolerance to aluminium is encoded by root-localized aluminium-activated malate transporter 1 (ALMT1). In a recent study published in Cell Research , Wang et al. resolved the structure of ALMT1, which provides intriguing insights into its function and opens new research opportunities.Matthew Gilliham and Maria Hrmov

    Linking metabolism to membrane signaling: the GABA–malate connection

    No full text
    γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentration increases rapidly in tissues when plants encounter abiotic or biotic stress, and GABA manipulation affects growth. This, coupled to GABA's well-described role as a neurotransmitter in mammals, led to over a decade of speculation that GABA is a signal in plants. The discovery of GABA-regulated anion channels in plants provides compelling mechanistic proof that GABA is a legitimate plant-signaling molecule. Here we examine research avenues unlocked by this finding and propose that these plant 'GABA receptors' possess novel properties ideally suited to translating changes in metabolic status into physiological responses. Specifically, we suggest they have a role in signaling altered cycling of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) intermediates during stress via eliciting changes in electrical potential differences across membranes.Matthew Gilliham and Stephen D.

    Differential fruitset between grapevine cultivars is related to differences in pollen viability and amine concentration in flowers

    Version of Record online: 12 NOV 2015Background and Aims: Reproductive capacity among grapevine cultivars varies considerably and impacts yield. Bioactive amines are reported to be involved in many aspects of plant reproductive physiology. We aimed to examine the association between the reproductive performance of cultivars and the concentration of amines in the reproductive organs. Methods and Results: The reproductive performance of Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon was assessed by determining fruitset, coulure index, millerandage index, pollen tube growth and stigma receptivity. Endogenous concentration of amines in flowers and berries was measured. Poor reproductive performance exhibited by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot compared with that of Shiraz was correlated with poor pollen viability. Amine profiles in the flowers and berries varied significantly among cultivars. A significantly higher concentration of diaminopropane was found in Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and correlated with a higher proportion of underdeveloped berries. An aromatic amine phenylethylamine was found to be the major free amine in the flowers of Merlot, a cultivar susceptible to poor fruitset. Conclusion: Variable reproductive performance exhibited by grapevine cultivars is related to differences in pollen viability and amine concentration in the reproductive organs. Significance of the Study: A better understanding of the association between reproductive performance and amines in the reproductive organs of grapevines has been achieved.T. Baby, M. Gilliham, S.D.

    Green horizons: how plant synthetic biology can enable space exploration and drive on Earth sustainability

    No full text
    As humanity looks towards expanding activity from low Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond, resource use efficiency and self-sustainability will be critical to ensuring success in the long term. Furthermore, solutions developed for the stringent requirements of space will be equally valuable in meeting sustainability goals here on Earth. Advances in synthetic biology allow us to harness the complex metabolism of life to produce the materials we need in situ. Translating those lessons learned from microbial systems to more carbon-efficient photosynthetic organisms is an area of growing interest. Plants can be engineered to sustainably meet a range of needs, from fuels to materials and medicines.Matthew Fox Morgan, Jonathan Diab, Matthew Gilliham, and Jenny C Mortime
