🛑 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❗
Cis-regulatory elements co-opting core circadian clock regulator CCA1 underlie enhanced expression of HMA4 for metal hyperaccumulation in Arabidopsis halleri #research #PlantCommunications cell.com/plant-communication…

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/ar…

1/9 I am excited to share our pre-print on spatial transcriptomics in wheat spikes in collaboration with @AshleighSLister. Using MERFISH, we resolved the expression of 200 genes to cellular resolution. Check out the pre-print 👉tinyurl.com/c7t3kncf
