- 1. New insights into plant cell organelle and molecule movement
-
New research reveals a protein, TGNap1, that supports the poorly-understood Trans-Golgi Network in structure, function, and motion. The study also provides evidence for microtubule-driven organelle movement, a new line of thought in plant science.

- 2. [LINK] How do you grow plants in space? Michigan State researchers are on the case
-
A Lansing State Journal story features Dr. Brandizzi, Evan Angelos, a fourth-year doctoral student, Starla Zemelis-Durfee, Brandizzi lab manager, and their research on how plants grow in and respond to stressful environments.

- 3. [LINK] Federica Brandizzi named AAAS fellow
-
The American Association for the Advancement of Science has recognized Dr. Brandizzi for her work on the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, organelles pivotal to food production in plant cells.

- 4. Stressed plant roots warn the rest of the plant of looming dangers
-
When facing drought or heat stress, roots are advance scouts that warn the rest of the plant to prepare for the big 'hit.'

- 5. Two plant cell 'hotspots' tell the cell where to import its resources
-
The two proteins, called VAP, indicate where endocytosis, a form of transport in which a living cell imports molecules, should occur.

- 6. Study shows how a gene helps plants manage their protein production in stressful times
-
The NPR1 gene keeps the unfolded protein response, a plant fail-safe for stressful times, in check.

- 8. Growing a garden in space
-
Scientists are studying how plants adapt to space environments. The NASA funded research aims to help us grow fresh produce beyond the planet Earth.

- 9. Growing pains and how that might affect seed quality
-
The Brandizzi lab is showing how extreme heat negatively impacts seed quality in plants targeted for producing biofuels.

- 10. Growth-defense gene pulls many strings in plant cell factories
-
The Brandizzi lab has demonstrated how one master gene fine-tunes how massive protein factories in plant cells allocate resources to growth and defense functions.
