Mathematical modeling of SUMOylation reveals tissue-specific and dynamic responses to abiotic stress

Kamil Drynda, Jason Banda, Shraboni Ghosh, Lisa Clark, Malcolm John Bennett, Ari Sadanandom, Etienne Farcot, Leah R. Band

The paper uses a mathematical model of the plant SUMO cycle to reveal dynamic and tissue-specific SUMOylation responses to abiotic stress.

A balance of metabolism and diffusion articulates a gibberellin hormone gradient in the Arabidopsis root

Kristian Kiradjiev, Jayne Griffiths, Alexander M. Jones, Leah R. Band

The paper develops a multiscale model to explain how GA4 synthesis, diffusion, and catabolism create a spatial gradient in Arabidopsis root growth zones, influencing cell elongation.

Elucidating tissue and sub-cellular specificity of the entire SUMO network reveals how stress responses are fine-tuned in a eukaryote

Jason Banda, Shraboni Ghosh, Dipan Roy, Kishor D. Ingole, Lisa Clark, Eshan Sharma, Sumesh M. Kakkunnath, Kawinnat Sue-Ob, Rahul Bhosale, Leah R. Band, Srayan Ghosh, Darren M. Wells, Jonathan A. Atkinson, Nicholas James Provart, Malcolm John Bennett, , Ari Sadanandom

This study creates the first complete SUMO Cell Atlas in eukaryotes, revealing how SUMO components vary spatially and are regulated during stress responses in Arabidopsis roots.
