Nature research paper: Cryptic variation fuels plant phenotypic change through hierarchical epistasis

go.nature.com/4lLtajx
Cryptic variation fuels plant phenotypic change through hierarchical epistasis - Nature
Gene regulatory network architecture and complex dosage effects from paralogue diversification converge to shape phenotypic space, producing the potential for both strongly buffered phenotypes and sudden bursts of phenotypic change.

New Article: "The late rise of sky-island vegetation in the European Alps" rdcu.be/epLJg

A phylogenetic analysis of the flora of the Alps reveals that the flora is young and colonist rich. Its assembly was primarily driven by the Pleistocene climatic cycles.

Very happy that our story on dormancy control by DOG1-PP2C is now published in Science Advances. We found that DOG1 prevents the activation of AFPs by AHG1. This is the result of a great team effort led by Guillaume Née. Summary of key findings below🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @science.org
DOG1 controls dormancy independently of ABA core signaling kinases regulation by preventing AFP dephosphorylation through AHG1
DOG1’s autonomous signaling pathway allows seeds to regulate dormancy and stress traits independently.
