In Indo-Pacific, research has focused on age processes by which islands were settled role that intermediary communities played these histories. Torres Strait, Australia’s northern border, represents one such frontier zone. For millennia this 48,000 km2 area (containing at least 274 islands) sepa...

Cell death is associated with the development of the plant disease resistance hypersensitive reaction (HR). Arabidopsis lsd mutants that spontaneously exhibit cell death reminiscent of the HR were identified previously. To study further the regulatory context in which cell death acts during disease resistance, one of these mutants, lsd5, was used to isolate new mutations that suppress its cell ...
