Excited to share our latest work showing that photoreceptors in the nucleus activate plastid photosynthesis genes by utilizing sigma factors as anterograde signals in parallel with the light regulation of nuclear photosynthesis genes. - rdcu.be/c0TvJ

In synthetic biology classes, I ask students what biological function they want to create, and one popular answer is "photosynthesis in mammals". Now, it's achieved! The authors transplanted membrane-coated thylakoids into chondrocytes and mice! Congrats! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations to Scott Perkins for being awarded the Spring 2023 UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program) to conduct exciting research in our lab! Thanks Undergrad Research for the support!

Check out our new review on the cis-regulatory code! I hope it's as useful to others as it has been to me to write it and would have been to my starting grad student self authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S10…

Starting today, we are soliciting submissions for our Plant Photobiology collection at Communications Biology! nature.com/collections/ce…

Our latest research on how ecological barriers influence hybridization, is published in Evolution Journal! This work, lead by grad student Dylan Klure is the result of collaboration between 4 labs at University of Utah School of Biological Sciences and College of Science at the Uni. of Nevada, Reno doi.org/10.1093/evolut… Denise Dearing @MikeDShapiro

Pleased to see that this study has finally been published. COOLAIR is not required for the vernalization process! Vernalization-triggered expression of the antisense transcript COOLAIR is mediated by CBF genes doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

A cryptic natural variant allele of BYPASS2 suppresses the bypass1 mutant phenotype (Alexander J Cummins, C J Siler, Jacob M Olson, Amanpreet Kaur, Adam K Hamdani, L Kate Olson, Brian P Dilkes, Leslie E Sieburth) buff.ly/3yzW5R7 @BrianDilkes ASPB #PlantSci

In collaboration with Xuemei Chen's lab, we uncovered an essential role of microRNA156 in enabling plant growth plasticity in response to temperature and light changes -- nature.com/articles/s4146…. Congrats to all authors, and many thanks to our collaborators Xuemei Chen lab.

First paper from my lab is out! Happy to share our review paper with Björn Willige on phytochrome B photobodies, phase-separated condensates that can sense environment (light and temperature) and control plant growth and chloroplast biogenesis! academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

The first paper of our new lab at Colorado State University is out. Big thanks to Chan Yul Yoo for collaborating with us on this review. If you are interested in the function of biomolecular condensates that are regulated by environmental cues, please take a look: academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

Beautiful work! Meng Chen shows that phyB photobodies form at preferred nucleation sites! They uses a oligopaints method to label specific chromatin loci! Congratulations to Meng, Juan, and Keunhwa!

Another beautiful work from Meng Chen! Photobody stabilizes PIF5 within photobody and degrades PIF5 in the surrounding nucleoplasm! Congratulations Jean Ae and Meng!

Excited to share our work—now on bioRxiv! 🌱 Serine functions as an immune priming signal via GLR3.4–CPK5-WRKY signaling pathway. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
