🌱🌡️Thermomorphogenesis may hinge on more than PIF4. Oxygen availability & cellular redox state appear to gate or calibrate warm-temperature signalling through largely PIF4-independent routes A new layer in how plants read heat #plantscience @cp-trendsplantsci.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/plant...

🌾🧬 A dual-layer allele engineering framework pairs protein design with regulatory tuning. In rice, it produced herbicide-resistant OsHPPD variants tolerating four times the field rate—and worked in wheat. #plantscience @natplants.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌾🧬The qCR8 locus holds two linked nitrate reductase genes, CR8.1 and CR8.2. Their additive activity boosts nitrate uptake, grain yield, and nitrogen use efficiency. Alleles from cultivar 9311 are favorable for breeding. #plantscience @jipb.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌍🌿Angiosperms rose to dominance in pulses of extreme warmth, not gradually. Fossil records show synchronized turnover across latitudes during mid-Cretaceous and early Cenozoic heat episodes Global climate state may ultimately control land plant diversity #plantscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...
