Do you know how plants beat the heat? 🌱🔥 Check out these two new papers from the @casallab.bsky.social and @luciastrader.bsky.social labs! They show how plants rewire their auxin pathway to thrive under high temperatures. Big congrats to Belu et al.! @belenborniego.bsky.social 👏✨🤩

🚨📢 Excited to share our back-to-back publications in @natcomms.nature.com! 🧬🌡️ In a fantastic collaboration between @casallab.bsky.social and @luciastrader.bsky.social, we’ve showed how plants "re-tune" the auxin pathway to regulate growth in response to warmth. 🌡️🌱 🧵 rdcu.be/fayYC, rdcu.be/fay0X

This is an amazing opportunity to join the plant sciences faculty in the Oxford Department of Biology! I am so impressed with the quality and collegiality of these colleagues. I’m not on the committee, but I’m happy to answer questions as I can.

This collaboration with @luciastrader.bsky.social‬ emerged as the result of a serendipitous interaction in Zurich in 2022. Lucia presented data for movement of ARF condensates during her talk & I was convinced this was Motility Influenced Phase Separation (MIPS). And so, the collaboration began!

Biomolecular condensates are critical for organizing cellular contents, but most studies focus on phase separation driven by salt, pH, or temperature. But what if intracellular movement also matters? Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in the cell. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
