New research. Conveniently, Marchantia has relatively few transcription factors. Yet, we need to leverage on that at the family scale to have a more comprehensive picture. In this paper, we focused on ERFs, the second largest TF family. #PlantScience biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

How does a predatory fungus build a trap to capture a nematode? New work by @fungi_worms lab reveals how prey signals reorganize conserved polarity and cytoskeletal machinery to redirect hyphal growth, form a trap, & then switch gears to penetrate the prey hubs.la/Q04BzS4D0
