(3) the gh3oct mutant likely retains some GH3 function, helping explain prior inconsistencies; and (4) the IAA overproducing plants gh3oct and gh3oct dao1-6 plants show a premature downregulation of (my favorite!) FLOWERING LOCUS C likely underlying their early flowering phenotype
This unique genetic toolkit allowed us to that (1) oxidative inactivation by DAO1/DAO2 follows GH3‑mediated conjugation, defining the main IAA inactivation pathway hierarchy; (2) IAA glycosylation is more important than previously thought;
Excited to visit @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social on Thursday ☺️
Delighted to share our latest publication in @commsbio.nature.com! @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social. This story started a long time ago when I was a postdoc at Ljung´s group in @umeaplantsciencecentre.se , led by the great Rubén Casanova-Sáez www.nature.com/articles/s42...
I want to thank Rubén Casanova and Aleš Pěnčík (Lab of Growth Regulators) for their relentless efforts, Karin Ljung for their inspiring supervision, Federica Brunoni for this last push, and all the co-authors for their precious insights.
