🌱 From Nature Communications: Hybrid vigor in maize may arise partly from master regulatory genes coordinating the activity of hundreds of other genes. (Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra) ▶️ www.nature.com/articles/s41... #PlantScience #PlantBiology #Genetics

The incomplete dominance of gene expression controlled by Trans-eQTL hotspots contributes to heterosis in maize - Nature Communications

This study shows that maize hybrids exhibit increased transcriptome activity than inbred parents in an incomplete dominance manner, contributing to hybrid vigor. This increase is primarily regulated b...

Want to up your tissue culture game?🤔 🔎Hu et al. have the solution you've been looking for. Their latest paper in #JIPB describes a CLE–RLK–LBD signaling module that promotes de novo shoot regeneration in #plants. doi.org/10.1111/jipb... @wileylifesci.bsky.social #PlantSci #Arabidopsis

A CLE–RLK–LBD signaling module promotes <i>de novo</i> shoot regeneration in plants

A group of CLAVATA3/ESR-RELATED (CLE) peptides redundantly promote de novo shoot regeneration, signaling through PXY/TDR-subfamily receptors to transcriptionally activate WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 14,....

Firefighters in Oregon, Spain, and now France (?!) are battling wildfires big enough to generate pyrocumulonimbus clouds. These fire storms are treacherous on the ground. But scientists are concerned about the *planetary* consequences of injecting so much smoke into the upper atmosphere...🌍🔥🧵

This image shows a pyrocumulonimbus cloud rising from the 2022 Mosquito Fire, burning near the Middle Fork American River and Foresthill, California, taken in the afternoon of September 08, 2022.

How do transcription factors bind DNA strongly, and in a switch like manner, while remaining sequence specific? Our new paper on a canonical plant TF suggests the answer is a previously underappreciated assembly state: transcription factor nanoclusters. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nanoclustering of a plant transcription factor enables strong yet specific DNA binding

Transcription factor nanoclusters balance the DNA binding trade-off between weakly binding oligomers and nonspecific condensates.

@carlos-rc.bsky.social together with @rimchaudhury15.bsky.social designed this figure describing some of the key temporal signalling events during a flooding event that were shown to contribute to differential stress resilience 🌱🌊 #plantscience

Circular schematic illustrating signalling events before, during and after plant submergence. The figure is divided into three interconnected phases arranged around a central ring labeled “Acclimation,” “Submergence,” and “Recovery,” with ethylene (Et) positioned at the center as a key regulator. The upper left region “Acclimation” depicts environmental flooding anticipation cues, including rain, waterlogging, humidity, and mechano-stimulation, leading to activation of EIN3 signalling. The upper right half, labeled as “Hypoxia,” represents submerged conditions with blue shading. Ethylene signalling through EIN2 stabilizes EIN3 and promotes accumulation of PGB1, which limits nitric oxide (NO)-dependent degradation of ERFVII transcription factors. Translation is globally repressed while stress-induced mRNA translation is promoted through GCN2. Sugar-dependent TOR signalling phosphorylates ERFVII, enabling interaction with MED25 and RNA polymerase II to activate hypoxia-responsive genes (HRGs). EIN3 also promotes ORE1-mediated senescence in old leaves, while miR164 suppresses ORE1 activity in young leaves. The lower left recovery section, shaded yellow, depicts re-oxygenation after flooding. Oxygen and hydrogen peroxide generated during a reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst stabilize ERFVII and activate oxidative stress-responsive genes (ORGs) while repressing HRGs. Ethylene signalling is attenuated through EBF-mediated ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) degradation and autophagic turnover of EIN3. Curved arrows around the outer circle indicate progression through flooding, hypoxia, and recovery, emphasizing that these signalling events are overlapping and interconnected rather than strictly linear.

Excited to see our #plantscience review published in @jxbotany.bsky.social! It really captures our lab’s perspective on how plants use spatiotemporal signaling under environmental contexts when floods occur, to coordinate acclimation responses and achieve stress tolerance. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

Excited to share two new PNAS papers on Botrytis cinerea—the fungus that spoils nearly everything. Together, these studies explore how the pathogen infects diverse hosts and how plants respond across evolutionary diversity.
