Plant Science Research Weekly --  The role of AGO10 in plant immunity via trans-species RNA interference (bioRxiv) (Summary by Emma Olmi @olmiemma.bsky.social) buff.ly/fsVeebG #PlantaePSRW

The role of AGO10 in plant immunity via trans-species RNA interference | Plantae

In this preprint, Wang et al. unravel a novel role for ARGONAUTE10 (AGO10) in plant immunity. Specifically, they found that AGO10 is involved in trans-species RNA interference (tsRNAi)…

Happy to see our review online in @jxbotany.bsky.social 🌱 In this work, we provide an overview of the molecular mechanisms plants use to survive under low oxygen stress and during recovery after reoxygenation 🌊 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

Switching on and off the hypoxic response in plants

Abstract. Hypoxia significantly impacts plant metabolism and growth by disrupting mitochondrial respiration, and oxygen sensing plays a vital role in regul

My review “Co-translational control of protein stability and quality in plants” is now online at @jxbotany.bsky.social, in which I describe how co-translational processing and ribosome-associated quality control together establish protein stability and fate early in synthesis. tinyurl.com/5dhhz9h6

Co-translational control of protein stability and quality in plants

Abstract. Proteostasis relies on the coordinated control of protein synthesis, folding, modification and degradation, and an increasingly clear picture is

I love the JBB story for a few reasons: - stringing 120 miles of wire - months of analzying paper roll data - her PI was like "that can't be right, do it again," the motto of PI's everywhere. - rare case of a landmark discovery becoming ubiquitous in popular culture for no particular reason
