Congratulations to the new cohort of 28 EMBO Young Investigators! They are joining an international network of more than 800 life scientists – Welcome! Read the press release here: https://www.embo.org/press-releases/twenty-eight-group-leaders-become-embo-young-investigators/

Delighted to share this latest manuscript @nature.com Ethylene regulating root cell wall mechanics in compacted soil in collaboration with Wanqi and Staffan Persson @uniofnottingham.bsky.social @ukri.org @uonresearch.bsky.social @lucas-de-lion.bsky.social @osvaldo-chara.bsky.social rdcu.be/eR4or

Ethylene modulates cell wall mechanics for root responses to compaction

Nature - Soil compaction traps ethylene around roots, which causes transcriptional upregulation of Auxin Response Factor1, resulting in decreased root cortical cell wall thickness and thereby...

Interested in learning about the latest and greatest research in how plants respond to excess salt, too little or too much water? Come to the GRC in Salt and Water Stress in Switzerland. Lots of opportunities for all career levels. www.grc.org/salt-and-wat.... Please repost!

Happy to see this paper www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... in @science.org showing how ROS regulate auxin signalling and control root branching @uniofnottingham.bsky.social & Durham University @hydrosensing.bsky.social @ukri.org @erc.europa.eu Many congratulations to the team!

I'm so very excited to see this out - a single cell and spatial transcriptomic analysis in the rice root reveals mechanisms by which roots can respond to different below-ground growth conditions - including compaction. Congratulations to everyone for persisting in difficult times. rdcu.be/ej8Ui

Single-cell transcriptomics reveal how root tissues adapt to soil stress

Nature - Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic approaches reveal major expression changes in outer root cell types when grown in soil versus gel conditions, and also uncover how...

Thrilled to see our work now online @nature.com This study reveals how individual root cells sense and respond to real, compacted soil environments. www.nature.com/articles/s41... beautiful spatial transcritomics of rice root in gel & soil conditions and huge credit to Mingyuan and colleagues.

Plant roots adapt to their environment including to soil conditions. Using single-cell transcriptomics, @nature authors report on the rice root responses and adaptations to soil-related stresses at individual cell level. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(1/2) Three #plantscience papers in @science.org this week: Scharwies et al find that ethylene, auxin and an arabinogalactan protein work together to control lateral root branching in response to water availability in maize www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Moisture-responsive root-branching pathways identified in diverse maize breeding germplasm

Plants grow complex root systems to extract unevenly distributed resources from soils. Spatial differences in soil moisture are perceived by root tips, leading to the patterning of new root branches t...

Proud to share our latest published work on moisture responsive root development-a process we call hydropatterning! We find that this process has been under differential selection during maize breeding and the gaseous hormone ethylene prevents branching in air. www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....
