🌾 SPECIAL ISSUE RESEARCH 🌾

Ethylene antagonizes ABA-induced stomatal closure in rice by inhibiting the protein kinases CTR1 and 2, negatively regulating the chilling tolerance of seedlings - Huang et al.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Ethylene reduces tolerance to chilling stress in rice seedlings. (A) Growth phenotypes and (B) survival rates of the ZH11 cultivar after chilling and recovery either with or without pre-treatment with ethylene. Seedlings at the three-leaf stage were either kept in air (control) or pre-treated with 10 ml l–1 ethylene (Pre ET) for 1 d, after which they were incubated at 6 °C for 3 d, and then returned to normal growth conditions at 28 °C for 7 d recovery. Scale bars in (A) are 2 cm. Data in (B) are means (±SD) of three biological replicates, each of which consisted of at least 28 seedlings. The significant difference was determined using Student’s t-test: **P<0.01. (C) Accumulation of H2O2 as determined by 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining and (D) cell death as determined by Trypan Blue staining in the third leaves of seedlings in response to chilling either with or without pre-treatment with ethylene.

🌵 So proud of my fav scientist in the world 🌵
Thrilled to see what will come of this super innovative project dissecting how leaf succulence is built and how it affects CAM photosynthesis!
Congrats @heikelindner.bsky.social and the Kalanchoë team!

I am beyond thrilled (like the screaming and jumping type of thrilled) that my SNSF Starting Grant was funded. I will start my own lab @unibe.ch next year, studying succulent anatomy development and if and how this anatomy is required for efficient CAM photosynthesis in different Kalanchoë species 🌱

Salicylic acid biosynthesis via the PAL pathway requires benzaldehyde synthase and a benzyl salicylate-specific esterase
Salicylic acid biosynthesis in seed plants requires the production of benzyl benzoate and benzyl salicylate, which is subsequently cleaved by an esterase.

13 years ago, the revolutionary genetic tool #CRISPR/Cas9 was published in Science, work that Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna won a #NobelPrize for in 2020.

On #WorldCRISPRDay, read the landmark paper that describes the discovery: https://scim.ag/42JHuSN
A Programmable Dual-RNA–Guided DNA Endonuclease in Adaptive Bacterial Immunity
A prokaryotic RNA–directed targeting system can be designed to cleave any DNA sequence.
