Using precise spatial and temporal analysis, researchers in Science provide insight into how bacteria around the root interact both with the plant and with each other.
7/ Taken together, this represents a novel mechanism to attenuate growth, potentially to allow SA reallocating resources to enhance plant robustness. Shout-out to Dr. Jonas Müller for leading the crew and thanks to all collaborators and the @dfg.de and BioComp for funding
6/ Notably, the vha a3 vha a3 mutant resembles SA treated plants (shorter roots, cell size differences of atricho-and trichoblasts) and has significantly elevated endogenous SA levels
New preprint from the lab. We mapped the dynamics of phospholipids during lateral root formation and show that PI(4,5)P₂ plays a key role: targeted reduction in pericycle promotes LR development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
🧵1/ New preprint out! We reveal that ERAD, a protein degradation pathway, selectively targets intracellular PILS auxin transport facilitators to control growth. This expands ERAD's role beyond protein quality control, right into developmental regulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Complexome profiling of the Chlamydomonas psb28 mutant reveals TEF5 as an early photosystem II assembly factor (Julia Lang, Katharina König, Benedikt Venn, Saskia Zeilfelder, Matthias Ostermeier, Benjamin Spaniol, et. al.) doi.org/10.1093/plce...#PlantScience
Finally! Im so excited to present to culmination of many years of work from the fantastic Defeng Shen and some great collaborators. For details, I have made a digested thread below, but if you are more interested feel free to reach out (and read the paper of course). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
