New paper is online! We used single cell RNA-seq & phylogenetics to identify 2 additional cell type specific TFs that control late-stage vinca alkaloid biosynthesis. The key insights originated from Camptotheca, another species that produces alkaloids. doi.org/10.1111/nph.... #PlantScience #SecMet

🌱💡 Did you know nuclear pores do more than let molecules in & out? Our new study shows they also act as control hubs for pri-miRNA transcription & processing!
A surprising twist in how plants fine-tune gene silencing.

Happy to share our latest publication in the Weiberg Lab: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Here we uncovered how fungal argonautes regulate bidirectional cross-kingdom RNAi during infection of plants.
Big thanks to @oberkoflerlorenz.bsky.social and everyone who was involved in the story.

Plants epigenetically control the production of pharmaceutically relevant active ingredients!🌿 #LMU Researchers led by Claude Becker have discovered a #genecluster that regulates the biosynthesis of withanolides in Physalis grisea - with important implications for alternative pesticides & drugs.
How plants epigenetically regulate their chemical defences
A new study demonstrates how plants of the nightshade family produce pharmaceutically valuable compounds and how this biosynthesis is epigenetically regulated.
