We have submitted a pre-print to BioRxiv. It is describes SUMO post-translational modification in action in Arabidopsis roots. All components, their expression, protein abundance, behaviour under stress...! super proud of the team work. Send us comments! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Elucidating tissue and sub-cellular specificity of the entire SUMO network reveals how stress responses are fine-tuned in a eukaryote
SUMOylation is essential in plant and animal cells, but it remains unknown how SUMO components act in concert to modify specific targets in response to environmental stresses. In this study we charact...

Redox-regulated Aux/IAA multimerization modulates auxin responses
Reactive oxygen species function as key signals in plant adaptation to environmental stresses like drought. Roots respond to transient water unavailability by temporarily ceasing branching through the...
