A small pixel of light after many days of grief. This work started when I returned to Israel, and it came to light alongside the understanding that there is no (safe) place but home. @Jan_de_Vries @HannesKollist nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Constitutive activation of ABA receptors in Arabidopsis reveals unique regulatory circuitries

Abscisic acid (ABA) is best known for regulating the responses to abiotic stressors. Thus, applications of ABA signaling pathways are considered promising targets for securing yield under stress....

The QC. Everybody likes the QC. It plays an important part in regeneration. But, does it really? And what does it do exactly? academic.oup.com/jxb/advance…

The quiescent center and root regeneration

We review current knowledge of the function of the quiescent center during regeneration and the molecular mechanisms guiding its activation and specificati

Do old genes learn new tricks? Maybe not. This collaborative work with Zach Lippman group shows that the ancient homeobox WOX9, thought to have species-specific functions, actually has a common deeply conserved pleiotropic role. @CellCellPress . cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Conserved pleiotropy of an ancient plant homeobox gene uncovered by cis-regulatory dissection

Functional dissections of cis-regulatory DNA suggest a conserved hidden pleiotropy widespread in plant evolution that has implications for the utilization of genome editing in agriculture

We had a beautiful hypothesis about how auxin triggers root regeneration. It flows down from the stele and because it can't flow back when you cut the root it forms a new auxin peak. A simple and beautiful self-repair mechanism. The only problem was that it was wrong...

A year a go when we were brainstorming an idea a colleague told me "nice story but where is the data", here it is. Done with humility by Yufei Sun and lots of friends. @HUJIAgri @HebrewU @Jan_de_Vries pnas.org/content/early/2019/…
