Group 7 (again!) histone demethyalses (KDM7s) use oxygen as a substrate and are hypoxia sensitive. Under hypoxia, H3K4me3 increases globally in the plant and in root tips this causes activation of a number of genes that enhance tolerance

Great to see this out (as a preprint, for the moment)! And thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this new exploration of the connection between oxygen sensing and shoot development 🍃

Thank you Thomas! @ximenachirinos.bsky.social studied what happened to the O2 sensing machinery in flowering plants that are constantly or near-never.submerged. Spoiler: she discovered new PCOs and weird ERFVIIs...

Congratulations Vinay!!! Hard to describe how happy I am about this, except for the fact you'll leave Oxford soon 🥲.

Only our joint forces, @lauradc.bsky.social 's perseverance and the contribution of Hans van Veen, @vinayshukla.bsky.social, Monica Perri and Liem T. Bui could tackle this challenge with many plant species and several transgenic lines! It's really satisfying to see it published!

It took ages but eventually out as a preprint... Thanks for the summary @vinayshukla.bsky.social
