Symbiont effectors modulate plant signalling to increase host stress resilience

Laura Rehneke, Rory Osborne, Silke Lehmann, Yingqi Zhang, Jemma Roberts, Stefan Altmann, Eva Köpff, Ruth Eichmann, Pascal Falter‐Braun, Weixing Shan, Patrick Schäfer

This study identifies effector proteins from the fungal symbiont Serendipita indica that modulate plant stress signaling pathways, enhancing abiotic stress resilience and pathogen resistance in Arabidopsis.

An oxygen-sensing Polycomb-group protein encodes flooding stress memory in plants

Aida Marić, Gabriele Meder, Carlos Rodriguez-Cisneros, Livia Schaub, Rory Osborne, Yixuan Fu, Sara Simonini, Daniel J. Gibbs, Sjon Hartman

This study identifies VRN2 as an oxygen-sensing PRC2 subunit that establishes adaptive flooding stress memory in plants by modulating chromatin and transcriptional responses.

VRN2-PRC2 facilitates light-triggered repression of PIF signalling to coordinate growth in Arabidopsis

Rory Osborne, Anne‐Marie Labandera, Alex J. Ryder, Anastasia Kanali, Tianyuan Xu, Oluwatunmise Akintewe, Maximillian A. Schwarze, Christian D. Morgan, Sjon Hartman, Eirini Kaiserli, Daniel J. Gibbs

This paper shows VRN2-PRC2 represses PIF signaling in Arabidopsis under light to coordinate growth by setting a repressed chromatin state at PIF-regulated genes.
