New OA Article: "Single-cell transcriptomics reveal how root tissues adapt to soil stress" rdcu.be/esLU8 With News & Views: "Environmental cues shape root barriers" rdcu.be/esSRh

I’m excited to share our latest article in @NaturePlants, where we delve into the groundbreaking study by Mingyuan, @pandeybipink et al. We discussed how plants adapt to dynamic soil conditions by forming specialized root barriers via cell wall remodeling nature.com/articles/s4147…

Plants exhibit remarkable intelligence in sensing and responding to microscale soil complexity @UKRI_News @ERC_Research nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our paper in Nature Plants is finally online. nature.com/articles/s4147… We have highlighted that modern crop breeding and seed certification agencies ignore the known spatial heterogeneity of soils and develop cultivars to thrive in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ soil environment.

Preprint alert, please share!! With our new study, we engineered a hypoxia-responsive system in plants inspired by mammalian HIF degradation. We demonstrated that this system could control protein stability and activity, enabling modulation of Oxygen sensing outputs. Here's how:

Delighted to write together the Darwin Review "Root Radar" with @PlantEcoHutton @ThisSunOfYork @UoNHounsfield @HannahVCooper @UoNresearch @UoNBiosciences How rhizocrine signals regulate root responses in soils.

Public outreach at @SBFair showing the importance of rooting in soil @ColombiTino @UniofNottingham @UoNBiosciences @UoNHounsfield

Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

There is still time to submit abstracts and get early-bird registration for the International Conference of the German Society for Plant Sciences (Sept, Halle). botanik-tagung.de @BT2024DBG See you there?

Finally online! First paper from lab! I’m so happy this work found a great home @embojournal read all about how a root barrier does more than just selection! It also signals to the shoot! - a feature thats hidden until you put it plants on a “real” soil doi.org/10.1038/s44318…

Root hairs facilitate rice root penetration into compacted layers: @CurrentBiology @UoNresearch @PlantSciNottm cell.com/current-biolog… This is work with wonderful collaboration with Guoqiang's team @sjtu1896

IN BRIEF: A compact topic: How ethylene controls crown root development in compacted soil (Gwendolyn K Kirschner) buff.ly/43zdfwY @pandeybipink @GwenKirschner @ASPB #PlantSci

Delighted to work with the @Hua qin team and found that ethylene (EIL1) regulates crown root development in compaction.@UoNresearch @PlantSciNottm
