So, we all know that VIPP1 (the Very Important Protein in Plants) is the "photosynthetic ESCRT-III", required for the biogenesis and maintenance of light-harvesting thylakoids. But what about ESCRT-II, you say? ...Meet VIA1! Congrats @mayankdu.bsky.social on your lab's first paper! #PlantScience 🧪 🌾

New pre-print from the team!
The manuscript is @emma-raven.bsky.social's PhD work showing that whether a leaf is a carbon sink or a carbon source influences how they execute immune responses.
Have a read!

Extensive N4 cytosine methylation is essential for Marchantia sperm function
Global N4 cytosine methylation in Marchantia polymorpha sperm regulates gene expression
and promotes sperm fertility.
I'm thrilled to share that our study is now published in Cell:
Extensive N4 cytosine methylation is essential for Marchantia sperm function.

This paper confirms our 4mC discovery in Marchantia sperm and takes it much further.

The Science cover picture of the 1988 issue shows the triple response mutant phenotype in a group of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling, with one tall seedling standing out – it carries the mutation in the ETR1 gene, the ethylene receptor. Next to the cover is the title page of the paper “Insensitivity to Ethylene Conferred by a Dominant Mutation in Arabidopsis thaliana”, by ANTHONY B. BLEECKER, MARK A. ESTELLE, CHRIS SOMERVILLE and HANS KENDE.
#PlantScienceClassics #18: Ethylene triple response mutants. 35 years ago Anthony Bleecker et al. exploited the triple response phenotype to identify the #ethylene receptor ETR1 @science.org. The ethylene story is another example for #PlantBlindness at the Nobel Prize.
