Plants send out warning signals to the rest of the plant when they are infected. Telling to prepare for battle In the latest Plant & Zo weekly roundup I talk about what those signals might be. For this and more go to:

Plants create low oxygen niches for their growth centres. In this weeks Plant & Zo weekly roundup I discuss how they establish and maintain those niches. Further in the newsletter this week’s scientific articles and plant science in the media.

I just put out the first neglected science story out that came from this post. It is about hints of a possible UV-C photoreceptor. You can find it at plantenzo.substack.com/p/are-plants...

It took a while but here is the story that I wrote up about that possible UV-C photoreceptor

Ever wondered about gene drives in plants? In this week’s Plant & Zo weekly roundup I talk how seed banks influence the success of gene drives in plants. Also, this week’s scientific articles and plant science in the media.

Like your thoughts on this:
1) What do you think of the paper and 2) Are we underestimating guard cell metabolism as a breeding target?
Liked this new paper about how photorespiration influence stomata. In short: they tweaked a single single photorespiratory enzyme (PGLP1) only in guard cells and found that it changes whole-plant growth, gas exchange and stomatal size.

A new Plant & Zo weekly roundup ready. This week I talk about (super-)pangenomes, and how wild relatives can help with gaining resistance. And as always this week’s scientific articles and plant science in the media.

This week I talk about plant taxonomy. How plants hid pause mid cell division during stress, I also give you my overview of this week’s scientific articles and plant science in the media.

My question is 1) what do you think of this study? And 2) How do you think it will change your own research?
They found 2,3 million cis-regulatory sequences in plants. Before this the major regulators of gene expression in plants were believed to be the promoters. Now the researchers of the study show that these cis-regulatory sequences possible have an even bigger influence on gene expression.
Sometimes you come across a study which you quickly realise it is going to have a big impact. The last week published study "A deep-time landscape of plant cis-regulatory sequence evolution" in science I think is one of those.

Die valt in dezelfde categorie als eerst een e-mail naar iemand in de buurt sturen om te kijken of het werkt.
Still the main suggestion holds, at least for carrot cells, that there is a receptor that senses wavelenghts of 260nm, which is not further investigated.
When I have time I will do some more digging and write a post about it.
Thanks
Memory does that sometimes.
The other candidate, not comming from Gareth Jenkins is this one onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... Which does suggests there is a receptor that senses 260nm.
Could not find any paper of Gareth Jenkins that mentioned the 260nm the closest I got was this one pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8989887/
Sorry, I found the earlier publications
An extra UV photoreceptor would indeed be interresting to find.
The earliest paper from Gareth Jenkins is this one from 2001: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/...
Does the suggestion come from this paper?

Extra bonus points if you can tell why the particular study/discovery is interesting and deserves more of attention.
A recent comment made me wonder which studies have you done, or come across that are now neglected, orphaned, or otherwise ignored and you now feel can do with a little bit of love and attention.
