Delighted to share our paper, out today in @natplants.nature.com Not all “wasted” carbon is lost: formate released during photorespiration can be reused to support DNA methylation. Our work reveals a metabolic link between CO₂ levels and epigenetic regulation in Arabidopsis. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Photorespiration is linked to DNA methylation by formate as a one-carbon source - Nature Plants

This study reveals that Arabidopsis reassimilates formate produced during photorespiration via the cytosolic folate cycle to fuel DNA methylation, forming a metabolic–epigenetic bridge that links elev...
