🔬 New study from José Gualberto’s team in
@theplantcell.bsky.social reveals how OEX1 safeguards mitochondrial DNA in Arabidopsis thaliana. This all-purpose nuclease is key to genome stability and plant fertility.

New research by @egonzalezduran.bsky.social shows that DSB repair suppresses gene transfer from chloroplasts to nucleus. With DSB repair impaired, transfer rates jump 20× — revealing how plants protect genome stability, with lessons beyond plant biology. Read: nature.com/articles/s41477-025-02005-w
