The cover of the December issue. The cover depicts a SEM image of a dorsal surface of liverwort M. polymorpha female thallus. Liverwort were found to have a noncanonical pathway for the regulation of master growth repressor DELLA.

Conservation of heat stress acclimation by the IPK2-type kinases that control the synthesis of the inositol pyrophosphate 4/6-InsP7 in land plants Author summary Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are eukaryote-specific cellular messengers that control a plethora of critical physiological processes, ranging from cellular metabolism to cellular e...

Happy to share our work on identification of non-archetypal activity of IPK2 in producing inositol pyrophosphate 4/6-IP7 and regulating heat stress acclimation-conserved in studied land plants. Grateful to @jessenlab.bsky.social for wonderful collaborative efforts!

Stereoselective chemoenzymatic phytate transformations provide access to diverse inositol phosphate derivatives Phosphorylated myo-inositols (InsPs) are essential cytoplasmic signaling molecules, while their lipidated analogs (PtdInsPs) play a crucial role in membrane signaling. Stereoselective synthesis of the...

An alternative strategy to access inositol derivatives by stereoselective dephosphorylation. Happy to share the work by Markus Haener together with @gabrielschaaf.bsky.social and many others.
