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.

Excited to share our latest preprint. Arabidopsis thaliana has been the leading model for plant genetics - but most of what we know comes from growth chambers. Can this model also help us understand how climate shapes plants in the wild and reveal gene functions under real environmental variability?

🧬🌱 EXPERT VIEW 🌱🧬 'Intrinsic cues guiding changes in division orientation in the Arabidopsis root meristem: a formative experience' - Konstantinova et al. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Schematic representation of a longitudinal section of the juvenile root meristem and the regulatory networks controlling changes in division orientation. In the epidermis/lateral root cap (LRC), the SMB–FEZ pathway is responsible for regulating the division guiding changes in division orientation that generate the epidermis and LRC. In the ground tissue, the SHR–SCR module guides the changes in division orientation that generate the cortex and endodermal tissues. In the vascular tissue, the TMO5/LHW–DOF2.1 module and, more specifically in the phloem, PEAR transcription factors, drive oriented divisions that regulate vascular proliferation. Inset: developmental trajectories for the various cell types found in the root meristem, beginning from the quiescent centre (QC) in the centre and ending outermost with the final forms.
