Root cell wall plasticity in iron homeostasis: an overlooked frontier in plant nutrition nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… ♻️

🛑 Some 🌱 have the remarkable ability to tolerate and accumulate ☣️ metals. Below 👇🏼 we present evidence that this trait depends on co-option of the circadian 🕰️ machinery❗ Co-option of 🕰️ proteins governs enhanced and time-dependent expression of metal-accumulation genes❗

Our study opens new directions for understanding the molecular basis of extreme trait evolution in land plants 🤓. Have a read and let us know your thoughts🙂❗ With @PlantAdaptation, Marc Hanikenne, and colleagues.

⛔️Did you know that cadmium (Cd) levels in European 🇪🇺soils have increased by 50% in the 20th century due to fertiliser application, industrial emissions 🏭, and local contamination? A study maps Cd in EU topsoils to identify hotspots and risk areas. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our most recent preprint. Some surprises about how it comes about that HMA4, a key metal hyperaccumulation gene, is highly expressed.

[🚨Pre-print🚨] 🤘(heavy) metal hyperaccumulation is controlled by the circadian clock 🕰️.Our findings indicate that the high expression of HEAVY-METAL-ATPase 4 genes in Arabidopsis halleri require cis-regulatory mutations that likely hijack circadian🕰️ proteins. A 🧵👇
