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.

Thrilled to share our latest story on the ERAD machinery and how it controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES for acclimative growth

We received 80 abstracts and have >100 registered participants for the Mech. of Plant Development FASEB (Aug 24-28 in Southbridge MA USA). Time for us to select ~20 talks from those 😱
It will be an exciting meeting!
FOMO? Still time to register! → tinyurl.com/24fsjq6a

🧵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.
