Our research is focused on understanding the single steps controlling plant plasticity.
Out in @natplants.nature.com, mapping of brassinosteroid chemical features required for (1) receptor binding, (2) ligand positioning and (3) co-receptor recruitment. Fantastic work by Alberto Caregnato & @hmchen93.bsky.social and our friends in Olomouc. Funding:@snf-fns.ch -> doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Fitting with these heat waves, we published in Planta on the impact of warm temperatures during reproduction in Arabidopsis. We show that the HSP101 #hot1-3 mutant is tetraploid!! rdcu.be/fxEdZ Thanks to @pecinka-grp.bsky.social @ceitec.eu @ceitec-cellimcf.bsky.social Funding by #TANGENC and #GACR

1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources. In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
ERAD machinery controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES in plants
Plant ERAD machinery governs the turnover of auxin transporters involved in developmental and stress responses.
