cell.comThe TORC–SnRK axis: An integrative signaling framework balancing growth and stress responses in plantsPlants balance growth and stress adaptation through two conserved kinase systems, the target of rapamycin complex (TORC) and Snf1-related kinases (SnRKs). Under favorable conditions, TORC drives growth by integrating nutrients, energy, and hormone signals, while under stress, distinct SnRK modules reprogram metabolism to enhance tolerance. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding TORC–SnRK crosstalk and highlights how this signaling axis coordinates plant growth and stress responses, providing insights for improving crop performance under fluctuating environments.

dlvr.itThe heat is on for plant nitrogen nutritionGlobal warming leads to increased average atmospheric temperatures, which will inevitably have an impact on plant growth and crop yields. It is essential to understand how plant nutrition will be affected by elevated temperatures. Nitrogen is one of the major mineral nutrients, and its uptake is enhanced during the light period, peaking at the day/night transition, whereas its storage, especially in the form of nitrate (NO3−), is favoured in the dark. Given the overlap between light and temperature responses, we review the interaction between nitrogen nutrition and light responses and place this in the context of new findings on temperature sensing. We also suggest new hypotheses on the potential links between temperature and NO3− homeostasis.
