An oxygen-sensing mechanism for angiosperm adaptation to altitude (2022)
Journal Article

Flowering plants (angiosperms) can grow at extreme altitudes, and have been observed growing as high as 6,400 metres above sea level1,2; however, the molecular mechanisms that enable plant adaptation specifically to altitude are unknown. One distingu... Read More about An oxygen-sensing mechanism for angiosperm adaptation to altitude.

Mitochondrial retrograde signaling through UCP1-mediated inhibition of the plant oxygen-sensing pathway (2022)
Journal Article

Mitochondrial retrograde signaling is an important component of intracellular stress signaling in eukaryotes. UNCOUPLING PROTEIN (UCP)1 is an abundant plant inner-mitochondrial membrane protein with multiple functions including uncoupled respiration...

A Yeast-Based Functional Assay to Study Plant N-Degron – N-Recognin Interactions (2022)
Journal Article

The N-degron pathway is a branch of the ubiquitin-proteasome system where amino-terminal residues serve as degradation signals. In a synthetic biology approach, we expressed ubiquitin ligase PRT6 and ubiquitin conjugating enzyme 2 (AtUBC2) from Arabi...
