A synthetic ERFVII-dependent circuit in yeast sheds light on the regulation of early hypoxic responses of plants | PNAS Plants face hypoxic conditions either chronically, as particular tissues are characterized by fluctuating or stable low oxygen levels, or acutely, ...

Finally officially out!!

We moved the main oxygen sensing machinery from plants to yeast and we learned a few things!

Surprisingly: "Conditional stability of HY5 through the ATE N-degron pathway regulates environmental responses in Arabidopsis thaliana".
The shining bounds of N-degron pathway influence expands! @charlene-kunaka.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Forget pickles and ice cream. I published a fake paper on pregnancy cravings for prime numbers.

No puedes dejar de reír por la ironía. En 2003 hubo una intensa polémica sobre si EEUU invadía Irak por el petróleo. Ahora ya no hay dudas. El propio Trump lo ha confirmado con sus palabras. A ver cómo sales después con el discurso de la democracia en Venezuela.

Ethylene modulates cell wall mechanics for root responses to compaction - Nature Soil compaction traps ethylene around roots, which causes transcriptional upregulation of Auxin Response Factor1, resulting in decreased root cortical cell wall thickness and thereby promoting root ra...

Thrilled to have contributed to this @nature.com study on ethylene and cell wall mechanics in root compaction responses!! — Featuring Jiao Zhang, Lucas Peralta Ogorek, @borgesaugust.bsky.social , Bipin Pandey, Staffan Persson, Wanqi Zhang, Malcolm Bennett & more!!
