Nitric oxide promotes cysteine N-degron proteolysis through control of oxygen availability | Important finding by Kim, Tian, Ratcliffe and Keeley @ox.ac.uk @ispt-proteinterm.bsky.social #N-degron www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Can we modulate plant oxygen sensing to enhance flood resilience?🌿🔧 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This is one of two preprints out this week from the @syno2xis.bsky.social and @emilyflashman.bsky.social labs, two angles on how PCOs shape plant flood resilience. Don’t miss the full story!

Engineered mutations in the AtPCO4 active site reduce its activity and improve plant submergence resilience! Our new preprint: tinyurl.com/2ydj7qx5, 1 of 2 preprints out this week from the @emilyflashman.bsky.social and @syno2xis.bsky.social labs to link PCO function in plants with flood tolerance!

Considering a return to study in the life/environmental sciences at Masters/PhD level after time away? Working and wondering if full/part-time study is the next step for your career? Our RePOWER workshop on 13th June in Oxford/online will provide advice and support. iles.web.ox.ac.uk/repower-retu...

And now formally published, a chemical probe that can detect hypoxia in plants - congratulations to all authors! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Niche post, but if you're interested in measuring interactions between Plant Cysteine Oxidases and their substrates, Dona and Daisy developed a fluorescence-based method, published today: rdcu.be/d5g9R. Strongest interactions with ERF-VIIs. Happy New Year folks!
