How is epigenetic information inherited? We found that CDCA7 proteins are critical players in the inheritance of DNA methylation at CG sites in plants, and this is true both in the lab and in the wild. How does this work? 🧵👇
New paper! Work led by @p-bourguet.bsky.social and Frédéric Berger at the GMI of the @oeaw.bsky.social and @esasaki007.bsky.social identified how protein CDCA7 helps plants stably maintain epigenetic modifications across generations.

Ancestral P-body proteins rewired for autophagic recycling in the early land plant Marchantia polymorpha
Processing bodies (P-bodies) are conserved ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules central to RNA metabolism across eukaryotes. Although the mechanisms underlying their assembly are well understood, the path...

Think vacuoles are just plant cell dumpsters? Think again.
They sense. They signal. They reshape. They fight back! ⚔️
Vacuoles are emerging as central hubs for plant resilience and adaptation. 🌱
