@natecoevo.nature.comReposted by @natplants.nature.comOur October issue is out now!
Featuring research on:
🐈 Feliform evolution
🛣️ Forest fragmentation from roads
🐟 Gene-regulatory evolution in salmonids

@natplants.nature.comOur editors write about #PlantScience:
- Endosperm polarity: Embryo talks to endosperm rdcu.be/a2X7cExQ5ESa
- Plant immunity: Kinase fusion confers greenbug resistance rdcu.be/oKUkMw4mkgna
@natplants.nature.comNews & Views: "Branchpoints reveal metabolic gateways" rdcu.be/xq5sKZhVUJea
Genomes sampled around decisive branches in grass evolution reveal when distinct starch and lignin pathways arose: two amino acid substitutions opened a tyrosine route into phenylpropanoid metabolism. #PlantScience
@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
@natecoevo.nature.comReposted by @natplants.nature.comHere the authors use a global standardized dataset of plant–pollinator interactions to explore geographic patterns of specialization and their dependence on climate variables and taxonomic and functional identity 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
@plantenzo.bsky.socialReposted by @natplants.nature.comWe like to think that new crop varieties are developed without modern techniques. But the honest story is that most are, even if they are not gene edited or genetically modified. So how do plant breeders now-a-days develop new crop varieties?

@natplants.nature.comNew Article: "Maternal epigenetic regulation of embryonic patterning in plants" rdcu.be/1S5Hxp2SHTTa
Post-fertilization remodelling of H3K27me3 in integuments regulates the timely activation of auxin transport genes => maternal-to-embryo auxin transport and embryonic patterning. #PlantScience
@jmaidment.bsky.socialReposted by @natplants.nature.comHappy to share that our study of the interaction between the MAX effector AVR-Pia and rice HMA domain-containing proteins has been published (as the cover article!) in PLOS Pathogens.

@natplants.nature.comNew Letter: "Long-term biomass growth unimpeded by short-term photosynthetic decoupling" rdcu.be/2B9JwqK1MtTa
...show that the decoupling between photosynthesis & plant wood growth reported in recent studies neither implies sink limitation nor constrains long-term biomass growth. #PlantScience
@scottzona.bsky.socialReposted by @natplants.nature.comCrassulaceae are famous for being the family in which CAM was first discovered. As an aside: There is no Crassulacean acid, as there is citric acid (from Citrus) or malic acid (from Malus). It’s simply an acid metabolism associated with Crassulaceae. 📷: Crassula ovata #Crassulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

@natplants.nature.comNew Editorial: "Engineering resilient forests" rdcu.be/9VhEudRpKxCa
Climate change leads to changes in precipitation distribution and the frequency of extreme weather conditions. For temperate forests to survive this may require a targeted forest engineering approach. #PlantScience
