Thrilled to share the latest review I had the incredible pleasure to write together with @amustoe.bsky.social, out today in #COSB, about probing #RNA structural ensembles, non-equilibrium intermediates and isoforms. Check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🔬🌱 TECHNICAL INNOVATION 🌱🔬 Rodríguez et al. present SuB3, a simple, fast, and inexpensive method to separate nuclear and cytoplasmic contents of plant cells to study where genes are active and how they are regulated. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪

Online at @cellcellpress.bsky.social today: everything you always wanted (???) to know about Auxin Signaling and never dared to ask. From Jiashu, Aaron and Martijn in our team, with @luciastrader.bsky.social and Tongda Xu www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📣Thermomorphogenesis community📣 I’m very excited to announce that Su Hyun Park will present her preprint on ORE1-UBP12/13-PIF4 module in thermomorphogenesis regulation in our next JC!! Come join us!!

🌾 Every grass leaf shares the same repeating short-long cell pattern in its epidermis. Our new #preprint identifies the protein that builds it. 🔬🧬 📄 preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵⬇️ 1/11

Time for another preprint from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Led by @yuanyuanzhang.bsky.social and @defengshen.bsky.social. We found some surprising secrets that connect and uncouple root barrier formation with systemic nitrogen signaling in shoots. see the thread below for more details

A tunable receptor separates root barrier formation from nutrient signaling through ligand-perception states

In roots, the endodermis controls nutrient entry by forming a barrier known as the Casparian strip. Yet how barrier-associated processes interface with systemic signaling remains unclear. Here, we sho...

Excited to share our new preprint led by Fred and me in collaboration with the archaeal community! We found that the molecular foundation of histone-based chromatin has pre-eukaryotic roots in Asgard archaea. (1/4) #ArchaeaSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Emergence of histone-based chromatin complexity in Asgard archaea

The emergence of the eukaryotes coincided with the diversification of histone proteins and their post-translational modifications by enzymes that constitute the core of eukaryotic chromatin. Yet the e...

Now online at @natplants.nature.com ‼️ Led by Jierui Zhao, a former PhD student @gmivienna.bsky.social & together w/ @moritznowack.bsky.social lab, we uncover how #autophagy shapes salt stress tolerance and lifespan. www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... A short 🧵👇

Cell-type-specific autophagy in root-hair-forming cells is essential for salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana - Nature Plants

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.
