How do #stomata respond to the environment? @AssmannLab &co analyze CO2-induced stomatal closure using network-based modeling & experiment, showing that feedback loops in a signal transduction network regulate #DecisionMaking in #GuardCells #PLOSBiology plos.io/4blUiAu

🌾 In our latest paper in Plant Communications we present Oryza CLIMtools—a new resource to explore climate-associated genetic variants in rice🌍🧬. We utilized these tools to evaluate the roles of G proteins in adapting to local climates @CLIMtools @GrameneDatabase @MPlantPCom

The focus issue in RNA biology we have been working on for the last year is out today in @ThePlantCell. academic.oup.com/plcell/issu…. It includes 10 reviews and 7 research articles. Kudos to Nicolas Cinquegrani for the terrific cover artwork inspired by Da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus.
