New paper: Gibberellins are long-distance regulators of shoot-to-root signalling of the light environment

Our latest paper ( published online in Plant Cell, shows that Gibberellins are involved in long-distance signalling of phytochrome-sensed light signals all the way in to the roots that are not light-exposed but still respond to light quality changes. We think that not only the precursor GA12, but also bioactive GA4 is shoot-to-root mobile. The work was led by former postdoc…

It's critical to switch off ethylene signalling once it has done its job during developmental transitions and stress acclimation. Excited to see this work led by @eleazarrodriguez.bsky.social now on BioRxiv. Happy @rimchaudhury15.bsky.social and I could contribute a bit to the story! #plantscience
