Excited to share our study in @NewPhyt, exploring how a B-box factor integrates light and ethylene signaling to optimize seedling soil emergence.Thanks @iiserbhopal, SERB for funding.

BBX32 integrates ethylene and light signaling to delay apical hook opening and optimize seedling soil emergence
In terrestrial plants, seeds often germinate and initiate early development in the darkness under layers of soil. Soil overlay promotes ethylene accumulation to maintain the hook until the seedlings...
