On the cover: In contrast to flowering plants with large gene families, the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has a relatively simple nuclear auxin signaling pathway consisting of only five core signaling proteins, each represented by a single gene. In this issue, Das et al. (2024) present fluorescent genomic knock-in lines of key genes encoding nuclear auxin signaling proteins, enabling precise quantification of endogenous protein levels and dynamics during tissue development. This study not only reveals the native accumulation patterns of the entire auxin response network but also uncovers that proteolysis tunes the stoichiometry of positively and negatively acting ARFs, thereby reprogramming the auxin response during development. The cover image showcases the diverse native expression patterns of auxin signaling proteins in Marchantia gemmae.The cover design was inspired by the resemblance of fluorescent Marchantia gemmae to luminous jellyfish floating in a dark ocean.
