Researchers found that plants use their circadian clocks to respond to changes in external water and salt levels throughout the day. Controlled by a protein known as ABF, this clock helps plants adapt to extreme conditions such as drought. keck.usc.edu/news/usc-resea…

Agreed! Fantastic summary of the paper!

Thank you for the kind words! Obviously inspired by the work from Webb Lab!

Thanks Ant!

Congrats to Qingqing and the rest of the team! Check out our new paper showing plants can sense two seasons simultaneously to control growth and flowering. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

How plant flowering is controlled by daylength is well understood. However, less understood is how daylength controls plant growth. Using some classic photoperiod experiments, Gendron Lab reveal the daylength-sensitive metabolic cues that control growth: buff.ly/48clNdS

The bacterial OLE #noncoding RNA is needed for cells to grow on most carbon/energy sources (except glucose or citrate) and to secrete proteins. This find suggests OLE (#ribozyme?) is part of a major regulatory apparatus of many Gram+ species. PNAS Nexus tinyurl.com/5bf45s2h

Well deserved!!

Thanks mary williams for the fantastic write up of the paper! Seasonal flowering and seasonal growth measure light duration differently plantae.org/?p=125280

Thank you to CellChemicalBiology for the opportunity to write this! It was fun to put to paper and maybe it'll resonate with some folks. Shoutouts to Stanford Biochemistry Rohatgi Lab and UChicago Chemistry, and also my dad who can now cite a paper in which I say 'My father was right' 😆

Fantastic trip to Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC)! Lots of friends, fun, and science.

New paper! Circadian clocks in the field. Wonderful collaboration with Hiroshi Kudoh at Kyoto University, studying #circadian signalling in a natural plant population. Congrats to first authors Haruki Nishio and @Dodka_ 1/2 John Innes Centre #chronobiology pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Thanks for tweeting this Meng Chen! After all of these years we finally got to collaborate on a project! And congratulations to Wei and the team!
