Here is my @currentbiology.bsky.social dispatch on an excellent article by the @coudertlab.bsky.social. Re-visiting the shoot branching field (and learning many new things in the process!) brought back fond memories from my time at @slcuplants.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Plant development: Auxin diffusion controls moss shoot architecture
The phytohormone auxin is a conserved inhibitor of shoot branching in plants. While directional, carrier-mediated transport is necessary for the proce…

Very pertinent work, highlighting the important role of the circadian clock function in trees! Felicidades @veronicaarana.bsky.social and colleagues, nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
Effect of temperature on circadian clock functioning of trees in the context of global warming
Plant survival in a warmer world requires the timely adjustment of biological processes to cyclical changes in the new environment. Circadian oscillators have been proposed to contribute to thermal ...

BOOSTER, a newly identified orphan gene, supercharges photosynthesis and, when overexpressed, boosts height of poplars by up to 200% (at least in greenhouse)

To make it even more interesting, part of the gene seems derived from a poplar fungus-farming ant 🐜
