Systemic and local regulation of root growth by vascular trehalose 6-phosphate is correlated with re-allocation of primary metabolites between shoots and roots www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/202…

Abundant clock proteins point to missing regulation in the plant circadian clock www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... first experimental determination of the abundance of transcription factors in Plants and for the circadian clock. It was such a challenge but finally out after peer review !!!

Very cool new data. A T6P phosphatase was identified as a potential regulator of heterodichogamy in walnut. This study highlights how T6P can be hijacked to modulate plant development. www.science.org/doi/full/10....
