How does wheat tell time?🌾🕰️ New model by @Abhi_Biotech with @alexwebblab & James Locke reveals the flexibility of plant circadian clocks. Unlike Arabidopsis, wheat ELF3 peaks at dawn, model suggests TOC1 repression drives this shift. 🔗doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2… @royalsociety

In conclusion: Thermospermine regulates both TFs in different ways. It is a bifunctional translational regulator for SAC51 and LHW, but requires a specific methylation, m3U2952, for its bifunctional regulation. It acts by promoting SACLs translation while inhibiting LHW.

As a result of further investigations, they discovered thermospermine binding to the methylated ribosomes affects a second transcription factor that regulates vascular development called LHW, which increase vessel initiation. Thermospermine inhibited LHW.
