Happy to share our latest paper: The symbiosome space needs to be continuously cleared from demethylated pectins to keep rhizobia happy. Former PostDoc Chao Su took this story with him when moving back to China and finished it off.

Symbiosome functionality in Medicago truncatula nodules requires continuous clearing of pectins from the symbiosome space - Nature Communications
Here a mechanism for nitrogen fixation maintenance is identified in Medicago truncatula where two polygalacturoneases are expressed in nodules and secreted into the symbiosome space for clearing of ex...

MSL10 is a high-sensitivity mechanosensor in the tactile sense of the Venus flytrap - Nature Communications
The Venus flytrap, a carnivorous plant, catches prey by sensing touch. Here, the authors show that DmMSL10 functions as a high-sensitivity mechanosensor in sensory hairs, initiating long-range calcium and electrical signals required for trap closure.

We developed machine learning models to infer circadian phase from single plant samples, using it to explore variation in circadian timing. Great collab with @c-reynoldsuk.bsky.social @ajwhall.bsky.social @hannahcr6.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... #chronobiology
Machine learning models highlight environmental and genetic factors associated with the Arabidopsis circadian clock - Nature Communications
The authors introduce ChronoGauge as a machine learning model which can estimate a plant’s internal circadian time using gene expression. This can be used to compare the circadian clock across differe...
