Copper Receptor Identified in Plant Stress Response
Scientists found a new copper sensor called CARD1 in plants that helps them detect stress like bad weather or sickness. This changes how we understand plant defense.

A new study shows plants use a copper sensor called CARD1 to detect stress, unlike older ideas that focused on sulfur. This is a big change in how we understand plant defense.

Exploring plant science . 🔬🌿
Scientific Reports publishes research that covers how plants grow, adapt, and respond to the environment, from genetics and stress resistance to soil interaction and biotechnology .🌱
One example is how scientists study plant defenses, improving crop survival, food security, and even medicinal applications. 🌍✨
Plant science is not just about “plants”… it’s about understanding systems that support life on Earth .🌿

A research paper I co-authored about Tradescantia spathacea has just been published!
There are two results that will be interesting to tradescantia growers.
First, T. spathacea 'Concolor' has been reclassified as a species of its own, Tradescantia concolor.
And second, the dwarf T. spathacea cultivars have been placed in a group, the Bantam Group named after the mini breeds of domestic chicken.
I've written an article which explains these results in more detail: https://tradescantia.uk/article/new-research-on-tradescantia-spathacea/
The full research paper is also available open access at: https://doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.138752

Are scientific publications always right? Not necessarily.
That is why we teach students to critically assess every study. In our Plant Bioinformatics course, students tried to reproduce research on quinoa leaf pigmentation.
Read our preprint:
“Lack of evidence for anthocyanins contributing to pigmentation of Chenopodium quinoa”
