The big takeaway: these O2 sensing systems are functionally interchangeable across kingdoms, but they're not identical. The kinetic differences matter!
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!
