Happy to share our new paper in @natplants.nature.com, where we uncover a link between photorespiration and DNA methylation in plants! 🌱 Special thanks to my PhD supervisor @martingroth.bsky.social for the trust, guidance, and the opportunity to work on this exciting project!

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...
