How did oxygen-sensing evolve in plants? In collaboration with @syno2xis.bsky.social Great work from @lauradc.bsky.social et. al. #plantscience @leverhulme.ac.uk “ERFVIIs as transducers of oxygen-sensing in the evolution of land plant response to hypoxia” www.cell.com/molecular-pl...

ERFVIIs as transducers of oxygen-sensing in the evolution of land plant response to hypoxia

Short summary:This study investigates the evolution of the low-oxygen response in land plants mediated by group VII Ethylene Response Factors (ERFVIIs). We identified conserved transcriptional signatu...

Happy to share our new preprint on the role of the metacaspase AtMC1 in immunity: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Once again, we are hosting the Advances in Molecular Biology Workshop, welcoming young researchers working abroad. Throughout the day, we have enjoyed exciting talks and discussions. Additionally, we concluded the event with a round table featuring @nogaleslab.bsky.social (CNB-CSIC JAE Chair).

Preprint alert, please share!! With our new study, we engineered an orthogonal hypoxia-responsive system in plants inspired by mammalian HIF protein degradation. We demonstrated that this system could control protein stability and activity, enabling modulation of Oxygen sensing outputs. Here's how:
