It's finally out! With this new paper, Salma and Monica show that hypoxia-regulated ERFVIIs are not immediately destabilised during reoxygenation: they instead persist in the nucleus to control oxidative stress genes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just as low-oxygen levels stress plants that are exposed to flooding, so does post-flooding reoxygenation and the associated burst of reactive oxygen species. Work @nature, shows that in both cases, the same molecular players mediate plants’ stress response. shorturl.at/kIRDf
H2O2 repurposes plant O2 sensing to regulate post-hypoxia responses - Nature
Experiments in Arabidopsis demonstrate that group VII ethylene response factors show differential responses to different stimuli, enabling plants in flood-prone environments to adapt to both submergence-induced hypoxia and reoxygenation upon desubmergence.

Thrilled to make my first post here 🌱 Right after presenting at #ISPLORE2025JP, where I shared our work on how anatomy & habitat shaped the oxygen-sensing machinery of angiosperms. Please check out our new preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Anatomy and habitat shape the oxygen sensing machinery of angiosperms
Hypoxia sensing via the Cys/Arg branch of the N-degron pathway (Cys-NDP) is central for flooding responses in plants, yet how evolutionary and ecological factors have shaped the core oxygen sensing me...
