Studie liefert vielversprechenden Fortschritt auf dem Weg zu nachhaltiger Landwirtschaft 🌱

Einem internationalem Forschungsteam um Prof. Dr. Thomas Ott, Professor an der Universität Freiburg und am Exzellenzclusters CIBSS – Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies, hat erstmals gezeigt: Es ist das in Wurzeln von Hülsenfrüchten vorkommende Protein SYFO2, das die Grundlage dafür schafft, dass Hülsenfrüchte in der Lage sind, „sich selbst zu düngen“.
Den Forschenden ist es zudem gelungen, das Protein in Tomatenpflanzen zu aktivieren. 🍅
Diese Erkenntnisse eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf die Frage, wie der Einsatz von Düngemitteln bei Nutzpflanzen künftig reduziert werden könnte.🐝

Die Studie wurde im Fachmagazin Science veröffentlicht.

Gave my inaugural lecture at the University of Bonn yesterday!
“Big Data-Driven Discoveries in Specialized Plant Metabolism” highlighted how computational approaches, large-scale transcriptomics, and integrative data analysis can uncover new functions and evolutionary patterns in the plant metabolism.

Thanks to everyone who joined and contributed to great discussions afterward. 🌱💡

RNA-Moleküle gelten als besonders empfindlich gegen schnellen Abbau. Bei #Pflanzen scheint's anders: Sie „dekorieren“ ihre Blattoberflächen gezielt mit #RNA und steuern damit die Zusammensetzung ihres Mikrobioms … Mehr Details zur Studie gibt's hier 👉 https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3371.php #Mikrobiom #PlantBiology

I wrote a little #lignin #plantbiology perspective article entirely in #rstats #Quarto a while back (https://leonardblaschek.github.io/assets/2024_JAFC/index.html) and had a blast. I ran into a couple of bugs along the way, but the quarto team was lightning fast in fixing them.

The only thing I'm still wrapping my head around is efficient co-writing with colleagues not using git. Any better ideas than rendering to .docx and manually copying track changes into the source file?

New paper. A total of about 10 years of work.

Approximately 40% of all proteins are intrinsically disordered or contain intrinsically disordered regions. So far, it was widely believed that these regions always had a random coil secondary structure. We show that this is not necessarily the case.

We applied the replica method to a generalized Langevin equation to describe the structure of AXR3, which is a co-receptor of the plant growth hormone auxin, and found that it adopts a number of distinct, different tertiary structures. Of these, two are particularly stable, almost equally probable, and account for 90% of the conformations. The results are confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and circular dichroism experiments. This shows that intrinsic disorder does not always mean a constantly disordered structure, such as a random coil or a Gaussian self-avoiding walk. Rather, disorder can arise as an ensemble effect of a glassy energy landscape, in which a protein can exist in a mixture of separate folded structures, with an energy barrier that may also induce symmetry breaking and the effective loss of ergodicity, depending on its height.

The fact that the first fully characterized example of such cases is a plant protein from the auxin system is an added bonus. 😎

Really nice work of first authors Athul Vijayan, Tejasvinee Mody and Qin Yu. Great collaboration between biologists and computer scientists. Need robust 3D nuclear segmentation? In deeper tissue layers with poor nuclear staining? Wide applicability? Cell-nucleus geometric parameters? This and more in our latest paper..
