📢 New publication 'The B-class #auxin response factor MpARF2 is essential for #meristem organization in free-living #plant gametophytes' by Eduardo Flores-Sandoval et al. in Current Biology 🧪🌱

Discover our little story showing that carbon availability promotes gemma cup formation via cytokinins and independently of KAI2-dependent signalling in liverwort. This shows how important the interactions between sugars and CK are for plant development.

Carbon availability acts via cytokinins to promote gemma cup formation in Marchantia polymorpha Liverworts can clonally propagate by producing compact shoot structures called gemmae, which develop within basket-like structures known as gemma cups. It was previously reported in Marchantia nepalen...

Very happy to share this study in collaboration with @jaz-humphreys.bsky.social and @frannybarbs.bsky.social , with our little contribution, on the role of Ck on Sugar-mediated gemma formation @biorxiv-plants.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The B-class auxin response factor MpARF2 is essential for meristem organization in free-living plant gametophytes Land plants (embryophytes) are multicellular eukaryotes with a remarkable capacity to grow continuously during their life span. They achieve this by m…

Out today... From Bowman lab, MpARF2 is the first essential transcription factor to be described for meristem maintenance in Marchantia. Glad to have contributed to another paper with Eduardo. #plantsciences #evodevo www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

(🧵 2/5) The aim of this Tansley review by Morales de los Ríos et al. is to give an overview of this family of transport proteins, including characterization.

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules an...

Really proud to share this review with my new team. We started off making an excel file with all the NPF substrates for ourselves and decided to turn ot into something useful for the community. It contains some methods and an evolutionary perspective.

Ancient fossil reveals how plants and fungi first developed on land | Natural History Museum A new fossil fungus discovered in Scotland shows evidence of plants and fungi sharing nutrients to survive on land.

A new fossil fungus discovered in Scotland shows evidence of plants and fungi sharing nutrients to survive on land.

The fossil, more than 400 million years old, offers hints about the origin of one of the greatest partnerships in the history of life on Earth.

The plasticity of physiology and development in response to the environment is amazing and not always mediated by the same pathways in response to a same stimulus.

I'm thrilled to share news of my new book - Mosses, Liverworts and Hornworts of the World - which is now available for pre-order at some book shops and will hit the streets in August.

Lovely resource.
