Coming to you live from #ISPLORE2025JP . Fresh preprint from my lab showing that leaves progressively oxygenate and how this is important for their morphogenesis. Thanks to our collaborators from @Fra_LicO2si #plantscience

We link the PCO N-degron pathway to acquisition of specialized cell fates and cell expansion, resulting in an altered leaf shape.

Excellent work by the Gibbs lab! VRN2 regulates leaf growth through PIF.
Very happy to see our latest paper by @ROsborne_93 et al out today in @Dev_Cell. In this work we identify a role for VRN2-PRC2 in regulating light-responsive growth in Arabidopsis through the conditional epigenetic repression of PIF signalling. cell.com/developmental-cell/…

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
In our latest study, we used innovative hypoxia-activated fluorescent probes to measure oxygen levels in plants! 🌱
Check it out!
Huge thanks to @ShahneawzK, @A_wallabregue, @emily_flashman and all the authors involved!

🚨Why can’t mammals regenerate legs or arms like frog tadpoles or salamanders?
Our preprint tackles (part of) this BIG question with surprising findings about oxygen sensing

The January 2025 issue of Plant Physiology is now online! Read this Focus Issue on Hypoxia and Plants here: academic.oup.com/plphys/issu… @ASPB @OxUniPress #PlantSci
ALT The diverse aspects of hypoxia. The size of the oxygen bubble correlates with concentration. This collection highlights the importance of hypoxia for plant development and environmental adaptation such as during flooding, in compacted or poorly aerated soils, high altitudes, and within meristematic tissues.

Wrappinp up (almost) an amazing lineup of updates in @PlantPhys FI #hypoxia is this beautifully written review on synthetic biology applications in plant hypoxia @MikelLavi @BeaGiuntoli academic.oup.com/plphys/adva…
Check out our update on Tools to understand hypoxia responses in plant tissues in @PlantPhys Really enjoyed putting this together with @ole_flooding
@schwarzland_lab @g_panicucci @s_lichtenauer. 👊👊We hope you will find it a useful starting point on your low oxygen journey🌱
