Excited to share our work—now on bioRxiv! 🌱 Serine functions as an immune priming signal via GLR3.4–CPK5-WRKY signaling pathway. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Serine activates defense mechanisms via glutamate receptor-like channel 3.4 and calcium-dependent protein kinase 5 signaling in plants. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #biorxiv_plants

Another beautiful work from @MengChen_Lab! Photobody stabilizes PIF5 within photobody and degrades PIF5 in the surrounding nucleoplasm! Congratulations Jean Ae and Meng!
Happy to share our new paper on photobodies -- photobody formation spatially segregates two opposing phytochrome B signaling actions of PIF5 degradation and stabilization. Congrats, @plantbiogirl, @DeFan1131790, @jiangman15, Keunhwa Kim, @JuanDu84406597! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Beautiful work! @MengChen_Lab shows that phyB photobodies form at preferred nucleation sites! They uses a oligopaints method to label specific chromatin loci! Congratulations to Meng, Juan, and Keunhwa!
Does phase separation of subnuclear organelles occur randomly? Our study shows that photobodies form via nonrandom phytochrome B condensation at defined subnuclear locations. Congratulations to my brilliant postdocs @JuanDu84406597 and Keunhwa Kim -- nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

The first paper of our new lab at @ColoradoStateU is out. Big thanks to @ChanYulYooLab for collaborating with us on this review. If you are interested in the function of biomolecular condensates that are regulated by environmental cues, please take a look: academic.oup.com/plcell/adva…

First paper from my lab is out! Happy to share our review paper with @BjornWillige on phytochrome B photobodies, phase-separated condensates that can sense environment (light and temperature) and control plant growth and chloroplast biogenesis! academic.oup.com/plcell/adva…

In collaboration with Xuemei Chen's lab, we uncovered an essential role of microRNA156 in enabling plant growth plasticity in response to temperature and light changes -- nature.com/articles/s41467-0…. Congrats to all authors, and many thanks to our collaborators @Xuemei_RNAlab.

Pleased to see that this study has finally been published. COOLAIR is not required for the vernalization process! Vernalization-triggered expression of the antisense transcript COOLAIR is mediated by CBF genes doi.org/10.7554/eLife.84594

Check out our new review on the cis-regulatory code! I hope it's as useful to others as it has been to me to write it and would have been to my starting grad student self authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

In synthetic biology classes, I ask students what biological function they want to create, and one popular answer is "photosynthesis in mammals". Now, it's achieved! The authors transplanted membrane-coated thylakoids into chondrocytes and mice! Congrats! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Excited to share our latest work showing that photoreceptors in the nucleus activate plastid photosynthesis genes by utilizing sigma factors as anterograde signals in parallel with the light regulation of nuclear photosynthesis genes. - rdcu.be/c0TvJ
