New Paths for Developing Drought-resistant Crops
Researchers are discovering how plants form their stomata – and are thereby able to save water. This insight could open up new paths for more drought-resistant plants.

🌱🧬How do plant cells sense low water? A protein called SAM8. Normally hydrated and dispersed. Under water deficit, hydration weakens and SAM8 condenses. These condensates trap RNA export factors, reprogramming translation. A direct water potential sensor. @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cellular water-potential sensing through biomolecular condensation - Nature
Plants sense water deficiency through SAM8 protein condensation, which responds to reduced hydration and triggers stress adaptation by altering RNA export and gene translation.

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
