A differentially spliced gene, SAFE1, reproducibly showed drought-responsive alternative splicing in guard cells but maintained constant gene expression.
Splice locking SAFE1 made plants drought-sensitive further validating the bioinformatic findings of this paper

Hasna Khan in the Provart lab @bar-plantbio.bsky.social discovered that differential alternative splicing of RNA fine tunes drought response within guard cells. This complements conventional drought studies that look only at changes in gene expression.

Have you ever missed a road sign because of the busy traffic around you?
Milena Russo in the Liu lab @utmbiology.bsky.social has published unexpected revelations of an ancient pathway from brainstem to cortex that hides static objects from view in a moving background

Russo’s novel experimental approach revealed that background motion engages the NOT-SC pathway to suppress visual responses in the SC and in turn impair SC-mediated visual detection

Differential alternative splicing is a powerful method of transcriptional reprogramming used by plants in response to stress, but its mechanism of action remains largely unanswered. In the present wo...
Background motion profoundly impacts visual perception. Here, the authors show that an inhibitory brainstem pathway, recruited by global background motion, suppresses superior colliculus activity and ...
