🧬 SPECIAL ISSUE RESEARCH 🧬 🍅 Genome-edited tomato mutants for the SPATULA gene elucidated conserved functions during gynoecium development, improving our understanding of the SPT gene in fleshy fruits- Martínez-Estrada et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪 @defolter-lab.bsky.social

🌸 Flowering Newsletter Review 🌸 López-Gómez et al. review the role of protein–protein interactions in flower and fruit development and discuss the latest techniques to study them. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪 @defolter-lab.bsky.social

Wide-ranging topics are covered in the expected papers so far, from signalling to stress responses and development 🌿 🔄 🍄 🌡️ @defolter-lab.bsky.social @uhammes.bsky.social @shabeklab.bsky.social @christatesterink.bsky.social @sebiology.bsky.social #JXBspecialissues #PlantScience 🧪

New paper from our lab @jxbotany.bsky.social about auxin and cytokinin interactions during carpel initiation in Arabidopsis Led by @andreagomezfe.bsky.social in collaboration with @defolter-lab.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-...

I’m happy to finally share our story on carpel initiation in Arabidopsis and how auxin and cytokinin shape carpel growth patterns. Auxin and cytokinin regulate growth dynamics underlying carpel initiation url: academic.oup.com/jxb/article/...
