How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Plants monitor the integrity of their barrier by sensing gas diffusion

Nature - A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and...

Identification of cambium stem cell factors and their positioning mechanism

Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of terrestrial biomass. Composed of xylem, it arises from one side of the vascular cambium, a bifacial stem cell niche that also produces phloem on the opposing...

A GWAS study with non-model species can be challenging, as the population demography needs to be understood first. Jiming Liu's work on Chinese Sapindus species is out: doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70058 Great collaboration between @ntusbs and @BFU_IC with Profs Liming Jia and Zhong Chen!
