Can we modulate plant oxygen sensing to enhance flood resilience?🌿🔧

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is one of two preprints out this week from the @syno2xis.bsky.social and @emilyflashman.bsky.social labs, two angles on how PCOs shape plant flood resilience. Don’t miss the full story!
Manipulating plant oxygen sensing through NCO substitution reveals trade-offs between growth and flooding tolerance
The oxygen-dependent degradation of Ethylene Response Factors VII (ERFVIIs) through the N-degron pathway is central to regulating the transcriptional responses to hypoxia in vascular plants. Plant Cys...

New work from the Synoxys lab!
Our study led by the extraordinary multitasking Daai Zhang shows here (tinyurl.com/3uhbkh54) that an additional O2 sensing mechanism based on histone methylation helps roots to prepare for potentially lethal hypoxic stress (such as in waterlogging)

Glad to be back in Vienna and have some nice chats about evolution! 🌱
This year’s @embo.org Workshop is held at the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social. Open to 120 participants, it is over-enrolled with 180 attendees! Thank you to the organizers @isabelmonte.bsky.social, Aino Komatsu, @moodytomato.bsky.social, and Liam Dolan for making this event possible. #EMBOplantEvo

We are advertising a PhD project investigating a cellular mechanism that ensures protein quality control during mRNA translation in plants. Please get in touch on here or via email if you are interested and I can provide further details!

Thrilled to make my first post here 🌱 Right after presenting at #ISPLORE2025JP, where I shared our work on how anatomy & habitat shaped the oxygen-sensing machinery of angiosperms. Please check out our new preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Coming to you live from #ISPLORE2025JP Fresh preprint from my lab showing that leaves progressively oxygenate and how this is important for their morphogenesis.Thanks to our collaborators from @Fra_LicO2si lab. #plantscience

Honoured & excited that ‘Breathing Underground’ has been funded by the ERC!
This will let me explore one of the most fundamental questions of plant life: how roots breathe underground? @erc.europa.eu

Engineered mutations in the AtPCO4 active site reduce its activity and improve plant submergence resilience! Our new preprint: tinyurl.com/2ydj7qx5, 1 of 2 preprints out this week from the @emilyflashman.bsky.social and @syno2xis.bsky.social labs to link PCO function in plants with flood tolerance!
Engineering reduced activity in the oxygen-sensing Arabidopsis thaliana plant cysteine oxidase 4 enzyme results in improved flood resilience
Plant cysteine oxidases (PCOs) are oxygen-sensing enzymes that play an important role in plant responses to low oxygen (hypoxia). PCO-catalysed dioxygenation of the N-terminal Cys of substrates, inclu...
