New paper out from the Synoxys lab! We asked an important question: what if plants sensed oxygen like animals do? what if we swapped the O2 sensing across? We built the system to find out. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #plantscience @syno2xis.bsky.social @beagiuntoli.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

It's finally out! With this new paper, Salma and Monica show that hypoxia-regulated ERFVIIs are not immediately destabilised during reoxygenation: they instead persist in the nucleus to control oxidative stress genes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Preprint alert! 🗞 We used SynBio to "simplify" the plant oxygen sensing pathway and implement it in yeast🍄. We can now control yeast growth through oxygen! But most importantly, Here's a very short recap of what we understood thanks to it: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint alert, please share!! With our new study, we engineered an orthogonal hypoxia-responsive system in plants inspired by mammalian HIF protein degradation. We demonstrated that this system could control protein stability and activity, enabling modulation of Oxygen sensing outputs. Here's how:
