@jxbotany.bsky.social🛡️ REVIEW 🛡️
This review underscores the key role of H2S in enhancing plant resilience against abiotic stress prevalent in the current climate change scenario. Endogenous sources of H2S and its mechanisms of action are also discussed- Aroca et al.

@natplants.nature.comNew Article: "N-glycosylation code diversifies paralogous chitinases to balance plant immunity and growth" rdcu.be/FYUFGfiTi8Xa
Two chitinases that produce or degrade immunogenic chitin oligomers => plants that gain chitin-triggered fungal resistance without a growth penalty. #PlantScience
@plant-sci.bsky.social🌾🧬 Warming alters how rice roots split carbon between growth and respiration. Cortical cell expansion peaks at ~28°C; extremes shift carbon toward respiration. ABA mutants show reduced sensitivity.
Root physiology matters for plant-soil carbon fluxes. #plantscience academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...
