Systemic and local regulation of root growth by vascular trehalose 6-phosphate is correlated with re-allocation of primary metabolites between shoots and roots https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.13.688188v1

So proud of my PhD student @hannahlepper.bsky.social talking about the roles of the important plant sugar signal trehalose 6-phosphate during land plant evolution 🍬🌿

Abundant clock proteins point to missing regulation in the plant circadian clock www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... first experimental determination of the abundance of transcription factors in Plants and for the circadian clock. It was such a challenge but finally out after peer review !!!

imageimage~100,000 copies of plant circadian clock proteins per cell were predicted from RNA levels and included in detailed models. Protein levels and DNA-binding were validated, using NanoLUC report...

Very cool new data.
A T6P phosphatase was identified as a potential regulator of heterodichogamy in walnut.
This study highlights how T6P can be hijacked to modulate plant development.
