Our preprint is finally out 🌿
“𝒑𝒑𝑮𝒑𝒑 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉-𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑨𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔”
Its been a journey- first spotted by Matteo Sugliani over ten years ago, carried forward by Shanna Romand, and brought to the finish line with help from many collaborators. #PlantScience tinyurl.com/wpf3bp25
Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) signalling promotes high-light tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) is a hyperphosphorylated nucleotide originally discovered in prokaryotes and found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae. In plants, ppGpp signalling plays a role as...

Functional Characterization of Target of Rapamycin (TOR) Signalling in Physcomitrella
Target of rapamycin (TOR) is a conserved protein kinase and an important signalling hub in eukaryotes. The moss Physcomitrella (Physcomitrium patens) is a model organism for plant physiology, developm...

So glad to share a part of the PhD work of our student Justine Broutin that is now published in Physiologia plantarum! We explored the mechanisms of biostimulation by protein hydrolysates in plants using Arabidopsis and multi level phenotyping.

Nitrate to spark parched plants
Nature Plants - Plants often experience multiple stresses to which they adapt by mounting specific responses. Nitrogen supply allows plants to better recover from drought, and this is linked to...
