TL;DR: The black box of how nematodes bring about such elaborate cell differentiation in the plant is starting to open and the groundwork is set so that the functions of the plant and nematode genes in feeding site development can begin to be assessed.

Abstract: The feeding sites induced by sedentary root-endoparasitic nematodes have long fascinated researchers. Nematode feeding sites are constructed from plant cells, modified by the nematode to feed itself. Powerful new techniques are allowing us to begin to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that produce the ultrastructural features in nematode feeding cells. Many plant genes that are expressed in feeding sites produced by different nematodes have been identified in several plant species. Nematode-responsive plant genes can now be grouped in categories related to plant developmental pathways and their roles in the making of a feeding site can be illuminated. The black box of how nematodes bring about such elaborate cell differentiation in the plant is also starting to open. Although the information is far from complete, the groundwork is set so that the functions of the plant and nematode genes in feeding site development can begin to be assessed.

How proteolysis drives the cell cycle
TL;DR: Proteolysis drives cell cycle progression not only by regulating CDK activity, but by directly influencing chromosome and spindle dynamics, and also how proteolysis may directly trigger the transition from metaphase to anaphase.

Isolation of the Arabidopsis ABI3 gene by positional cloning.
TL;DR: The primary structure of the encoded protein was deduced from sequence analysis of a corresponding cDNA clone, and the size of this predicted protein was reduced by 40% due to the presence of a point mutation that introduced a premature stop codon.

The isolation and characterization of abscisic acid-insensitive mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: Three mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh were characterized by a reduced seed dormancy and by symptoms of withering, indicating disturbed water relations and resembled phenotypically the ABA-deficient mutants the authors described earlier in this species.
