In Mediterranean ecosystems, fire-sensitive species live in rocky areas, not because they prefer them, but because they are fire refugia. Yet, sometimes fire is intense enough to get there, reducing the population size

Dead Juniperus phoenicea on a cliff. The fire was intense enough to kill fire-sensitive plants living on the cliff

This #FreeAccess commentary explores new findings that CHILLING PHOENIX acts as a transcriptional hub rewiring #rice metabolism from cold defense to nitrogen-driven regrowth, potentially uncoupling #stress survival from yield penalty. doi.org/10.1111/jipb...

Image description
Diagram illustrating how the CHPO allelic toggle switch governs rice chilling resilience. The japonica allele (CHPOjap, 6×GCG) acts as an “Active” switch that effectively promotes chilling resilience. Upon DNA binding, it upregulates key survival- and yield-related pathways, leading to enhanced chilling resilience, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and tiller number, thereby conferring the high resilience phenotype characteristic of japonica rice. By contrast, the indica allele (CHPOind, 2×GCG) functions as a “dysfunctional” switch. Despite binding to DNA, its shortened polyalanine tract renders it ineffective at initiating essential transcriptional programs, resulting in compromised chilling tolerance and reduced tillering, which underlies the low resilience phenotype typically observed in indica rice under cold stress.

Our next session is a workshop, and we’re happy to welcome back Dr. Yulia Kozyrakis (www.linkedin.com/in/ykozyrakis/). We’re looking forward to an engaging session on “Science Under Pressure: Authoritarian Dynamics, Disinformation, and How to Stay in a Constructive Dialogue". #MAdLand2026 #plantsci

🌱🧬Domestication stripped rice of microbes aiding N use. Mapping wild × cultivated populations uncovered OsRLK, a receptor kinase linked to Acinetobacter.
