Organelle positioning as a principle of metabolic regulation and stress tolerance 🌿🔋🍃 Looking ahead in this joint perspective 🔮 with the Fernie and Sonnewald labs @theplantjournal.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

PERSPECTIVE: organelle positioning as a principle of metabolic regulation and stress tolerance

Understanding how plant cells coordinate metabolism remains a major challenge, particularly at the level of intracellular organization. This perspective proposes that dynamic organelle positioning ac...

How plants form their stomata – and are thereby able to save water, was described in May by a team of plant scientists around Christopher Grefen and Khushbu Kumari , from @ruhr-uni-bochum.de DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koag150 news.rub.de/english/pres...

New Paths for Developing Drought-resistant Crops

Researchers are discovering how plants form their stomata – and are thereby able to save water. This insight could open up new paths for more drought-resistant plants.

@ilichenmoss2.bsky.social George Greiff in the BBC News headlines on Sunday morning. A fantastic discovery, and hopefully a way to moderate invasive (INNS) Campylopus introflexus (Heath Star Moss). Well deserved recognition for some very interesting bryological work. 🎉🙌 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Killer fungus discovered that destroys UK invasive plant

A newly discovered species raises hope that some native British habitats could be restored.

🌱🧬How do plant cells sense low water? A protein called SAM8. Normally hydrated and dispersed. Under water deficit, hydration weakens and SAM8 condenses. These condensates trap RNA export factors, reprogramming translation. A direct water potential sensor. @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cellular water-potential sensing through biomolecular condensation - Nature

Plants sense water deficiency through SAM8 protein condensation, which responds to reduced hydration and triggers stress adaptation by altering RNA export and gene translation.

Hibernation is a biological superpower that can extend lifespan. What if we could harness its benefits? #FreemanHrabowski Scholar Siniša Hrvatin has ID'd the neural trigger that induces key features of the state, which could transform how we treat disease, injury, & aging: bit.ly/41Uzw8F.

How do plants respond to wounding? Well it it's not too dissimilar to how they respond to heat. We found that plants utilize the HSFA1 transcription factors to rapidly induce wound-induced regeneration genes after injury. @keikosugimoto.bsky.social @deveylderlab.bsky.social @wigge.bsky.social

Wounding activates the HSFA1 transcription factors to promote cellular reprogramming in Arabidopsis

The HEAT SHOCK FACTOR A1 transcription factors rapidly accumulate in the nucleus after wounding and directly activate regenerative pathways in plants.
