New paper: Gibberellins are long-distance regulators of shoot-to-root signalling of the light environment
Our latest paper ( published online in Plant Cell, shows that Gibberellins are involved in long-distance signalling of phytochrome-sensed light signals all the way in to the roots that are not light-exposed but still respond to light quality changes. We think that not only the precursor GA12, but also bioactive GA4 is shoot-to-root mobile. The work was led by former postdoc…

Pleased to see this work come out in its final form! rdcu.be/em4UY. Great collaboration with the Ausin lab. Here we provide some mechanistic insight into how H2A.Z finds its way to gene bodies (spoiler alert, H3K4me3 readers are involved!).

🌿 Excited to share our latest preprint! We tracked how plasmodesmata numbers evolved across the path from C₃ → C₄ photosynthesis in Flaveria - and found a stepwise increase in cell-to-cell connectivity. Thoughts or feedback are most welcome 😊 #PlantScience
