We're hiring! 🌱 The RO2T Respiration Group is looking for a PhD student and a postdoc to work on root oxygen biology! Please spread the word! #plantscijobs

Just as low-oxygen levels stress plants that are exposed to flooding, so does post-flooding reoxygenation and the associated burst of reactive oxygen species. Work @nature, shows that in both cases, the same molecular players mediate plants’ stress response. shorturl.at/kIRDf

It's finally out! With this new paper, Salma and Monica show that hypoxia-regulated ERFVIIs are not immediately destabilised during reoxygenation: they instead persist in the nucleus to control oxidative stress genes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We knew PCOs & ERFVIIs regulated plant hypoxia, but this work shows they also manage the 'reoxygenation' stress. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk @uni-muenster.de

New paper out from the Synoxys lab! We asked an important question: what if plants sensed oxygen like animals do? what if we swapped the O2 sensing across? We built the system to find out. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #plantscience @syno2xis.bsky.social @beagiuntoli.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
