Very late repost but we loved writing this News and Views article on these super cool papers that enhance our understanding of how the auxin response is fine tuned.
Michael Prigge@mjprigge.bsky.social · last yr.There is a nice News & Views article by @suruchiroy.bsky.social and others regarding our recent Nature Plants paper (@mestelle.bsky.social, @drannisr.bsky.social, and @luciastrader.bsky.social labs) and another from @dolfweijers.bsky.social 's lab. #PlantScience #Auxin rdcu.be/eAEnz
Discover how roots “feel” gravity: Our latest PNAS paper shows that root gravitropism isn’t just on/off, but is unified and angle-dependent, tied to auxin shifts driven by PIN protein and statolith behaviour in columella cells. Read more: tinyurl.com/22awa3pf

Sunflower gravitropism in action in our back garden today! Photos sent this morning by my husband, who has clearly been well trained to take pictures of plants after all this time 😅
Thank you for joining across a funky time zones @jamespblloyd.bsky.social! I loved hearing about your modelling approaches to predict root architectures in lunar and Martian gravity!
James Lloyd 🧬@jamespblloyd.bsky.social · last yr.Great to present my synthetic biology work & considering the effects of variable gravity on root structure at the Society of Experimental Biology in Belgium. I was sad that I could not attend in person, but thank you @suruchiroy.bsky.social for getting a photo of my online talk at the meeting!
What an amazing week hosting @gwenkirschner.bsky.social, @matesf.bsky.social, @awaisfarooq724.bsky.social and @jamespblloyd.bsky.social amongst other amazing speakers at the ‘Gravitropism and Root Architecture session at the 2025 Society of Experimental Biology at Antwerp! We hope you enjoyed it!
An exciting issue!
@awaisfarooq724.bsky.social · 2y agoSubmissions open in special issue in Unlocking Crop Potential: Root Characterization through Phenomics and Genomics I and @GwenKirschner are inviting plant enthusiasts to submit their work focused on root development and its vital role in crop performance www.frontiersin.org/research-top...
We are still accepting abstracts for the ‘Gravitropism and Plant Architecture’ session at the 2025 annual SEB meeting in July! Send abstracts to my colleague at marta.delbianco@asi.it
and we thought auxin signalling was "kind of solved".. TIR1-produced cAMP is essential for auxin response (in Arabidopsis thaliana) 🔽 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
TIR1-produced cAMP as a second messenger in transcriptional auxin signalling - Nature
cAMP produced by the TIR1/AFB receptors of the main endogenous developmental plant hormone auxin acts as a true second messenger, revising the established paradigm of transcriptional auxin signalling.
