Multi-omics dissection of transcriptional and post-transcriptional responses in cyanobacterial high-light adaptation
UncategorizedAbstractUnderstanding how photosynthetic organisms acclimate to excess light is essential for the development of robust chassis for synthetic biology approaches aimed at expanding the photosynthetically active absorption spectrum. High-light (HL) tolerant strains were previously generated by laboratory…

Plant Peptide Hormones: Three Decades of Discovery and Emerging Paradigms
UncategorizedAbstractPlant peptide hormones have reshaped our understanding of intercellular signaling in plants. Once considered absent in plants, peptide-based signaling pathways emerged as key regulators of plant growth, development, environmental responses and immunity. A paradigm shift occurred with the discoveries…
SOBIR1 Integrates Pathogen Recognition and Hormonal Metabolism in Nicotiana tabacum
UncategorizedAbstractThe receptor-like kinase SOBIR1 (SUPPRESSOR OF BIR1) is a core component of immune receptor complexes mediating plant responses to extracellular immunogenic signals. While its role in pattern-triggered immunity is well defined in model species, its broader physiological functions remain largely…
Inositol phosphates, pyrophosphates and the genes involved in their turnover in the streptophyte green alga Chara braunii
UncategorizedAbstractInositol phosphates (InsPs) and inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are conserved signalling molecules, but their evolutionary origin and diversification in the green lineage remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the InsP network in the streptophyte alga Chara braunii, a key lineage close…
Single-cell epigenomics in plants
UncategorizedAbstractSingle-cell technologies enable epigenomics characterization at single-cell resolution, offering novel insights into gene expression regulation and a wide range of biological processes, including cell fate determination, developmental differentiation, and environmental adaptation. In recent years,…
