Happy to share that our multi-omic analysis comparing two Arabidopsis accessions is now published 🌿 The first story from our @ukri.org BBSRC sLoLa #plant #proteostasis project. A great collaboration between @rothamsted.bsky.social @richardmott.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk and Kathryn Lilley at Cambridge.

Richard Mott @richardmott.bsky.social · 8d

We have just published a paper in Genome Biology, rdcu.be/eIMLf. We explore the information flow between genome, gene body methylation, transcriptome, translatome and proteome in Arabidopsis. This is part of a BBSRC-funded collaboration with UCL, Rothamsted Research and University of Cambridge.

Really excited to share the pre-print of my first paper! It details the computational method we used to identify uncharacterized metabolites along the developmental gradient of maize roots, I hope you find it interesting! 🌱🌽

1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources.
In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth.

ERAD machinery controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES in plants

Plant ERAD machinery governs the turnover of auxin transporters involved in developmental and stress responses.
