@coeplantsuccess.bsky.social📢 New publication 'Linking #drought strategy to climate-of-origin in a widespread #C4 grass: hydraulic traits, #xylem anatomy and stomatal behaviour in Themeda triandra' by @vin-jacob.bsky.social et al. in @newphyt.bsky.social 🧪
@plantcellphysiol.bsky.socialLost in Translation...
Nishii et al show that thermospermine-dependent thiolation of tRNA is important for #xylem development as it influences upstream open reading frame (uORF)-mediated translational control of key developmental regulators
@wendelvandersluis.bsky.socialThe authors provide direct evidence of water-filled but hydraulically isolated xylem vessels in two temperate tree species, challenging the simple distinction between functional and non-functional vessels and reveal previously overlooked complexity in #Xylem organization.
@wendelvandersluis.bsky.social🌳 Two new OA articles, two fresh perspectives on wood anatomy – now published in the IAWA Journal.
From #AI-powered growth ring detection to a closer look at how water moves through #Xylem, these studies show how new tools and approaches can reveal surprising details in wood structure and function.
@plantcellphysiol.bsky.socialWood ya look at that?! 🪵
Natalia Wojciechowska & colleagues have identified two biosynthetic enzymes of the #JasmonicAcid pathway that promote #xylem development in #poplar trees, thus providing evidence for hormonal control of wood formation🌳
@plantcellphysiol.bsky.socialHow is leaf size regulated?🥬
Monden et al. reveal a novel mechanism by which an AHK3–CKX4 module governs root to shoot #xylem transport of trans-zeatin-type cytokinins, thereby fine-tuning leaf size according to root nitrate status
