Our new study in Nature Plants maps how "multi-tasking" enzymes in plants transfer nitrogen, a key step toward improving crop N use efficiency. 🌱

Big thanks to our collaborators from Max Planck, Hokkaido Univ, & MSU, and for support from @NSF and @DOE.

Plants make thousands of #phenolic compounds—like morphine, auxin, anthocyanins, lignin—from the #ShikimatePathway. In our #TIBS review, Jorge El-Azaz discussed how multiple enzyme isoforms fine tune the production of diverse aromatic natural products in plants.
