AB  - PLANT SCIENCECombining heat and light responsesRed-light photoreceptors also act as temperature sensors in plants.M. Legris, C. Klose, E. S. Burgie, C. C. Rojas, M. Neme, A. Hiltbrunner, P. A. Wigge, E. Schäfer, R. D. Vierstra, J. J. Casal, Phytochrome B integrates light and temperature signals in Arabidopsis. Science 354, 897–900 (2016). [Abstract]J.-H. Jung, M. Domijan, C. Klose, S. Biswas, D. Ezer, M. Gao, A. K. Khattak, M. S. Box, V. Charoensawan, S. Cortijo, M. Kumar, A. Grant, J. C. W. Locke, E. Schäfer, K. E. Jaeger, P. A. Wigge, Phytochromes function as thermosensors in Arabidopsis. Science 354, 886–889 (2016). [Abstract]Metabolite channeling by a dynamic metabolonEnzymes that synthesize a specialized metabolite congregate and disperse on an as-needed basis in the lipid membrane.T. Laursen, J. Borch, C. Knudsen, K. Bavishi, F. Torta, H. J. Martens, D. Silvestro, N. S. Hatzakis, M. R. Wenk, T. R. Dafforn, C. E. Olsen, M. S. Motawia, B. Hamberger, B. L. Møller, J.-E.

Facchini, Plant metabolons assembled on demand. Science 354, 829–830 (2016). [Abstract]NEUROSCIENCETau phosphorylation—Not all badPhosphorylation of tau at a specific site mitigates, rather than enhances, symptoms in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.A. Ittner, S. W. Chua, J. Bertz, A. Volkerling, J. van der Hoven, A. Gladbach, M. Przybyla, M. Bi, A. van Hummel, C. H. Stevens, S. Ippati, L. S. Suh, A. Macmillan, G. Sutherland, J. J. Kril, A. P. G. Silva, J.

[Abstract]Sacral neurons reassignedContrary to a century-old dogma, the pelvic nerves and ganglia do not belong to the parasympathetic nervous system but to the sympathetic one.I. Espinosa-Medina, O. Saha, F. Boismoreau, Z. Chettouh, F. Rossi, W. D. Richardson, J.-F. Brunet, The sacral autonomic outflow is sympathetic. Science 354, 893–897 (2016).[Abstract]I. Adameyko, Neural circuitry gets rewired. Science 354, 833–834 (2016). [Abstract]
