Happy to share that our work "Autophagy contributes to auxin-driven developmental plasticity in response to changes in C and N availability in P. patens" is published in PPB! This study is part of G. Pettinari and F. Liberatore PhD theses!! 👏 💪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌿 EXPERT VIEW 🌿 Peat moss farming can contribute to climate protection 🌍 Parsons et al. review state of the art research with a focus on Sphagnum biomass gain in photobioreactors 🧪🔬 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience Ralf Reski
Graphical Abstract (shortened, full legend in paper):
Mosses from the genus Sphagnum have experienced 350 million years of evolution separate from all other mosses, resulting in distinctive features such as unlimited apical growth potential which is not seen in other mosses. Sphagnum mosses are ecosystem engineers and the main components of peatlands. Although peatlands cover only a small part of Earth’s landmass, they store more carbon than all living matter combined. Peat mining and agriculture result in degraded peatlands and thus have a dramatic negative impact on our climate. Sphagnum farming is a promising approach to combat climate change. Here, we review state of the art research with a focus on the establishment of a peat moss collection and their growth in vitro, especially in photobioreactors.

Marchantia might seem an unlikely biotech crop, but it’s worth trying. In Aurore’s thesis, we pushed this concept by engineering the auronidins with MpMYB14 and using the pigments to dye cotton. It ended up giving a very unique and beautiful product. #PlantScience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
