How do plants respond to wounding? Well it it's not too dissimilar to how they respond to heat. We found that plants utilize the HSFA1 transcription factors to rapidly induce wound-induced regeneration genes after injury. @keikosugimoto.bsky.social @deveylderlab.bsky.social @wigge.bsky.social

Wounding activates the HSFA1 transcription factors to promote cellular reprogramming in Arabidopsis
The HEAT SHOCK FACTOR A1 transcription factors rapidly accumulate in the nucleus after wounding and directly activate regenerative pathways in plants.
