Chamber of Secrets?

Kinoshita @strnk17desejp.bsky.social & Finkemeier @ifink-lab.bsky.social present an alternative method to precisely measure CO2 assimilation rate & transpiration of #Arabidopsis leaves in whole-plant chambers

Open Access🔗 doi.org/10.1093/pcp/...

Figure 1 from Kinoshita and Finkemeier article showing gas-exchange measurements of petiole-cut Arabidopsis leaves in the whole plant chambers of the LI-6800 system. Panel A shows a schematic diagram of the method i.e. petiole cutting on wet paper and insertion of leaves into a parafilm-sealed dish containing water. Panels B-E are graphs that show C02 assimilation and transpiration rates under different conditions tested

We are deeply saddened by the news that Andrew D. Hanson (@adhansonlab.bsky.social) is no longer with us. He was an exceptional scientist, mentor, and leader in multiple fields. He constantly reminded us that over-promising would backfire. Rest in peace, Andrew.

Thrilled to share our latest short technical paper in PCP!
We propose an alternative leaf-level gas exchange measurement method with petiole-cut leaves and whole plant chamber, enabling the measurements even with the small Arabidopsis plants.🌱

we find evidence that mistranslation in wild-type plants varies under stress conditions. This suggests that optimization of protein synthesis may improve plant stress tolerance. Moreover, the initial discovery of a hypermistranslating Arabidopsis mutant will benefit

mistranslation was unknown. We isolated a Q➡️E hypermistranslating Arabidopsis mutant and show that plant cells are highly tolerant towards Q➡️E mistranslation in mitochondrial- and plastid-expressed proteins and even incorporate Q➡️E altered peptides into the photosynthetic machinery. Interestingly,

that gene expression works close to perfection, especially protein synthesis is a messy business. Bacteria use protein mistranslation since increased proteome plasticity can aid survival under stress conditions. The relationship of plant cells and their bacterial-type organelles towards protein

Our manuscript on the DOG1 dormancy pathway is out! 🥳 It started with a phosphoproteome when working @mpipz.bsky.social and 10 years of hard work @uni-muenster.de from Guillaume Nee with Thorben Krüger and more to prove that AFPs are target! #proteomics #seed www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We propose that the molecular separation of the DOG1-PP2C module from the regulation of SnRK2 activity keeps seed ABA signaling primed independently of the dormancy level. This allows non-dormant seeds to quickly reinduce ABA responses and arrest germination upon sensing stress.

Very happy that our story on dormancy control by DOG1-PP2C is now published in Science Advances. We found that DOG1 prevents the activation of AFPs by AHG1. This is the result of a great team effort led by Guillaume Née. Summary of key findings below🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @science.org
