Read @tran_scription ´s digest about Wu et al findings that confirm AGT2’s and ALDH6B2´s roles in β-alanine degradation and buildup, and the possible role of β-Ala as a carbon store tapped for acetyl-CoA synthesis

Our work on ELF3 evolution is finally out in @MolBioEvol . We found that the temperature-sensing prion-like domain 🌡️might actually be a lineage-specific add-on.

Extremely happy to share an early view of @ColleenDrapek’s amazing work on visualizing how gibberellin dynamics help legume roots do their part to help feed us and protect the environment. This was a great collaboration with @gilesedoldroyd and co-authors @slcuplants

Had an amazing time last week @yrspp2024 - brilliant talks and posters from so many early career researchers - a great community!
We want to thank all the participants and speakers for making this an amazing #YRSPP2024 ! We hope you enjoyed yourselves just as much as we did, and can’t wait to see you all in Edinburgh in 2026!!!

📢 Thermomorphogenesis community 📢
Next week we will have Bidhan Chandra Malakar (@bidhancmalakar) presenting his preprint on ELF3-BBX24/BBX25-PIF4 regulation of thermomorphogenesis.
Come join us!!
Another plant thermosensor? The transcriptional regulator TWA1 seems to function similarly to ELF3 to regulate temperature-dependent gene expression (although here, nuclear speckle formation is required for its repressor function at high temperature)
