My lab's very first manuscripts are out!!!!

- We identified nearly 60 conserved RNA structures in plastids #chloroplast #RNA
- We found that transcriptional response to warm temperatures in whole seedling is confounded by response at organ level #thermomorphogenesis

FERONIA regulates plant thermomorphogenesis via nuclear translocation and auxin pathway modulation
Under warm temperatures (28°C) the cytosolic domain of FERONIA is cleaved and travels into the nucleus. There, it phosphorylates IAA29, thereby unlocking the transcription factor ARF19 to activate th....

🌡️🌱Heat disarms plant defenses

Warm temps block key immune signals (NHP & SA), weakening long-term disease resistance.
Understanding this can help breed climate-resilient crops.
