Takagi J, Takahashi H, Moriya K, Nagano M, Fukao Y, Ueda H, et al.
Commun Biol . 2025 Mar; 8(1):358. PMID: 40038456
Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERESs) are ER subdomains where coat protein complex II carriers are assembled for ER-to-Golgi transport. We previously proposed a dynamic capture-and-release model of ERESs by Golgi...

Yamaguchi M, Shigenobu S, Yamaguchi K, Higashi Y, Okazaki Y, Saito K, et al.
J Exp Bot . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39921382
Plants accumulate starch and triacylglycerols (TAGs) as carbon sources. Leaves primarily store starch in chloroplasts, with some TAGs stored in lipid droplets, but how carbon resource allocation is regulated in...

Yagi H, Hara-Nishimura I, Ueda H
Quant Plant Biol . 2025 Jan; 5():e9. PMID: 39777035
Plant postures are affected by environmental stimuli. When the gravitational direction changes, the mutants () and () exhibit aberrantly enhanced organ bending. Whether their phenotypes are due to the same...

Omata Y, Sato R, Mishiro-Sato E, Kano K, Ueda H, Hara-Nishimura I, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2024 Mar; 15:1331479. PMID: 38495375
Lipid droplets (LDs) are lipid storage organelles in plant leaves and seeds. Seed LD proteins are well known, and their functions in lipid metabolism have been characterized; however, many leaf...

Takei T, Tsukada M, Tamura K, Hara-Nishimura I, Fukao Y, Kurihara Y, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2024 Mar; 195(2):1333-1346. PMID: 38446745
Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to plant evolution, development, and adaptation to environmental changes, but the regulatory mechanisms are largely unknown. RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is 1 TE regulatory mechanism in...

Tsugawa S, Miyake Y, Okamoto K, Toyota M, Yagi H, Morita M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Jul; 13(1):11165. PMID: 37460700
Gravitropism is the plant organ bending in response to gravity, while a straightening mechanism prevents bending beyond the gravitropic set-point angle. The promotion and prevention of bending occur simultaneously around...

Moriya K, Shirakawa M, Loue-Manifel J, Matsuda Y, Lu Y, Tamura K, et al.
Nat Plants . 2023 Jan; 9(2):302-314. PMID: 36658391
The evolution of special types of cells requires the acquisition of new gene regulatory networks controlled by transcription factors (TFs). In stomatous plants, a TF module formed by subfamilies Ia...

Oikawa K, Goto-Yamada S, Hayashi Y, Takahashi D, Kimori Y, Shibata M, et al.
Nat Commun . 2022 Dec; 13(1):7493. PMID: 36470866
Although light is essential for photosynthesis, it has the potential to elevate intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Since high ROS levels are cytotoxic, plants must alleviate such damage....

Hu S, Li B, Wu F, Zhu D, Zouhar J, Gao C, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 May; 119(20):e2200492119. PMID: 35533279
Vacuolar proteins play essential roles in plant physiology and development, but the factors and the machinery regulating their vesicle trafficking through the endomembrane compartments remain largely unknown. We and others...

Fukuda K, Uefune M, Fukaki H, Yamauchi Y, Hara-Nishimura I, Ozawa R, et al.
Biol Lett . 2022 May; 18(5):20210629. PMID: 35506238
One of the characteristic aspects of odour sensing in humans is the activation of olfactory receptors in a slightly different manner in response to different enantiomers. Here, we focused on...
