The baldcypress genome provides insights into the adaptive evolution of flooding stress tolerance

The evolutionary history of gymnosperms suggests that most species struggle in wet environments. However, baldcypress (Taxodium distichum var. distichum) thrives in wetlands, making it a prime candi...

Happy to see our latest paper by @drosborneplantsci.bsky.social et al out today in Developmental Cell @cellpress.bsky.social! We identify a role for VRN2-PRC2 in regulating light-responsive growth in Arabidopsis through the conditional epigenetic repression of PIF signalling. tinyurl.com/swbyff24

VRN2-PRC2 facilitates light-triggered repression of PIF signaling to coordinate growth in Arabidopsis

Osborne et al. show that the angiosperm-specific PRC2 subunit VRN2 is enriched in hypoxic regions of the Arabidopsis shoot, where it is required for stable deposition of H3K27me3 in key PIF4 target ge...

Flooding events are becoming increasingly common worldwide, therefore the research of @aidamaric.bsky.social is essential to understand the epigenetics caused by flooding stress. Plants primed by submergence or hypoxia show higher survival rates than naive plants under the second stress.
