Oxygen, yeast, SynBio and sometimes, plants. Postdoc at Oxford Biology, PhD at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna.
I also sing and am very fond of my village.

When oxygen drops, plants respond in minutes 🌱
Oxford @biology.ox.ac.uk's @mikellavi.bsky.social and @syno2xis.bsky.social + Engineering Science researchers, with Prof Antonis Papachristodoulou, reveal a circuit key to plant survival.

Without oxygen, the first minutes matter 🌱
In low oxygen, eg when flooded, plants need to act quickly to survive. New research led by @mikellavi.bsky.social has revealed a molecular circuit that kicks into gear in minutes - and it can work completely independently 👇

Very happy to see this out!! Thank you all!

What features are required to shape hypoxic niches enclosing meristems? We @viktoriiavoloboeva.bsky.social in collab @pieterverboven.bsky.social found that a combination of cuticle barrier, densely packed tissue and metabolic activity all uniquely contribute to maintain shoot apical meristem hypoxia
New paper out from the Synoxys lab!
We asked an important question: what if plants sensed oxygen like animals do? what if we swapped the O2 sensing across? We built the system to find out. 🧵
