Transcription factor bHLH25 plays a dual role in #plant defense.
Oxidized, it boosts #lignin production to strengthen #cell walls against #pathogens.
Non-oxidized, it activates #phytoalexins to inhibit pathogen growth.
Together, these functions may help us create disease-resistant #crops without yield loss.

Researchers have developed a method to estimate hydrologic traits for 55,000 tree species, improving climate models without requiring massive field data collection.

By analyzing evolutionary relationships, they infer missing data, enhancing Earth system models. This approach accelerates our understanding of plant-water interactions, crucial for predicting climate change impacts.

1/8 Exciting developments in biology!

Our research investigates the 24-hour, biological clock in plants, now using absolute protein quantification thanks to Uriel Urquiza’s hard work with me, Karen Halliday and Nacho Molina.

It points to some simple conclusions, some unknown regulatory mechanisms and the promise of a whole new level of understanding.

As a signaling molecule, hydrogen sulfide is vital for #stomatal closure. In this #FreeAccess Brief Communication, Liu et al. show that H2S induces persulfidation of the C-terminus of the KAT1 subunit in #Arabidopsis, likely disrupting its oligomerization and inhibiting inward K+ translocation.
