How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. @treebiocoe.bsky.social‬ @erc.europa.eu‬ 1/x 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Plants monitor the integrity of their barrier by sensing gas diffusion - Nature

A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and pathogen entry.

In our last work that is just out in @newphyt.bsky.social we use a transcription inhibitor to improve the detection of mild drought stress responses in scRNA-seq. Browsable dataset on www.single-cell.be/plant/leaf-drought . Thanks to Ruben Tenorio Berrio and collaborators for the exciting collab!

Paradigm shifting work from the Friml lab - degradation of auxin response repressors is not causal for the transcriptional reprogramming, cAMP signaling is - awesome read! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

TIR1-produced cAMP as a second messenger in transcriptional auxin signalling - Nature

cAMP produced by the TIR1/AFB receptors of the main endogenous developmental plant hormone auxin acts as a true second messenger, revising the established paradigm of transcriptional auxin signalling.
