🌱 1/ New preprint! In animals, AMBRA1 controls autophagy & cell cycle, but what does it do in plants? In moss, we show AMBRA1 is a nuclear protein required to repress photomorphogenesis in the dark 🌑 ☀️ 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/2026.10.14.… @Ale_Alboresi @TMorosinotto @cla_beraldo

4/ Compared with cop1 mutants: partial convergence on repressing photosynthesis genes in the dark, but largely distinct functions.

Replying to @PUnipd @Ale_Alboresi @TMorosinotto @cla_beraldo
3/ AMBRA1 sits in the nucleus, forming speckles reminiscent of photobodies 🔬 Its loss rewires >1,000 genes: photosynthesis, cell wall, cell cycle
33
Replying to @PUnipd @Ale_Alboresi @TMorosinotto @cla_beraldo
2/ Loss of both AMBRA1 genes → compact colonies, impaired chloronema-to-caulonema transition, and in darkness almost no skotonemata, with chlorophyll retained

New paper from our group🎉! We explored Far Red photosynthetic acclimation in Nannochloropsis gaditana 👇 @bettaliistro @TMorosinotto @PerinGiorgio La Rocca Nicoletta
New Phytologist@NewPhyt5 Dec 2025
Discovery of a new mechanism of photosynthetic acclimation to far-red light in the microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana: thylakoid reorganization and adjusted photosystem stoichiometry enable cells to grow in absence of visible light. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Thylakoids reorganization enables driving photosynthesis under far‐red light in the microalga...

Oxygenic photosynthesis is driven by visible light in most photosynthetic organisms, with exceptions in a few cyanobacteria and microalgae species, which can extend the light absorption to far-red...

Preprint alert ⚠️ We studied PSBS and LHCSR function in zeaxanthin quenching and showed important divergence in the molecular mechanism 👀🌱☀️ @cla_beraldo , @Ale_Alboresi @TMorosinotto and great collaboration with @EWientjes1 H van Amerongen researchsquare.com/article/r…

Functional Divergence of LHCSR and PSBS in Zeaxanthin-Mediated Non-Photochemical Quenching

To protect photosystem II from excess light, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess energy as heat. NPQ relies on trigger proteins, LHCSR in algae and PSBS in vascular plants, and the...
