Very proud to be in the news of RTS🀄️🀄️
Final week to apply! 🚨
We're looking for a postdoc to join the RO2T Respiration lab at University of Nottingham working on root oxygen biology, as part of our ERC-funded Breathing Underground programme.
Closes 20 May.

Very happy to see that SUBER GENE1 (SBG1; At1g52565) is now annotated in TAIR and Aramemnon!
We identified this gene through a GWAS on natural variation in endodermal suberin and had the privilege of naming it.
For those interested, the study can be found here:

Water is essential to life; so how do cells sense and respond to the stress associated with changes in water levels? Work @nature shows that when water is scarce, the plant protein SAM8 forms condensates, trapping RNA-processing factors and so reprogramming translation.

Unlike its wild ancestor teosinte, maize lost much of its seed protein during domestication. A paper @nature discovers teosinte genes that, when expressed in modern maize, increase seed protein without lowering crop yield. shorturl.at/zdsvY

Team effort from @fxrico.bsky.social, Oded, Pierre, Andrea, @hmchen93.bsky.social, Larissa now out in @pnas.org The Kelch phosphatase BSU1 is a PP1-like serine/threonine phosphatase involved in cell cycle regulation, not a tyrosine phosphatase in brassinosteroid signaling 👍 doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Plants sense water deficiency through SAM8 protein condensation, which responds to reduced hydration and triggers stress adaptation by altering RNA export and gene translation.
Teosinte alleles enhance nitrogen assimilation and seed protein without lowering crop yield when expressed in modern maize, providing a powerful strategy for crop improvement to meet future population demands.
