🧪🌾NEWS - Aspen controls bud formation using light and temperature Ove Nilsson's group has now discovered how aspen trees decide between growth and winter dormancy during summer cold snaps and autumn.🌿 Curious how aspen does this? Read more here: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n...

PAPER - Do leaf mitochondria react in different cell types similarly to carbon starvation? Olivier Keech's group show that mitochondria proteomes from mesophyll, vascular and guard cells differ especially under stress. Read more in @pplplantarum.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/ppl....

🧪🌾 They also showed that reducing these γ-ester links between polysaccharides and lignin can improve plant growth and makes it easier to extract sugars from the wood which is interesting e.g. for biofuel production.

PAPER - How are lignin and polysaccharides linked in wood? Marta Derba-Maceluch et al from the Mellerowicz's group introduced a fungal enzyme into the wood of hybrid aspen, and proved that the two components are linked by γ-esters. Read more in Plant Biotechnology Journal: doi.org/10.1111/pbi....
