Abundant clock proteins point to missing molecular regulation in the plant circadian clock | Molecular Systems Biology imageimage~100,000 copies of plant circadian clock proteins per cell were predicted from RNA levels and included in detailed models. Protein levels and DNA-binding were validated, using NanoLUC report...

Very cool new data.
A T6P phosphatase was identified as a potential regulator of heterodichogamy in walnut.
This study highlights how T6P can be hijacked to modulate plant development.
