Our new research article entitled "RCB initiates Arabidopsis thermomorphogenesis by stabilizing the thermoregulator PIF4 in the daytime" has been published in Nature Communications. This study identifies RCB (REGULATOR OF CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS) as a new essential component of temperature signaling in Arabidopsis. We show that RCB interacts directly with HEMERA, another temperature signaling component identified by [...]

The biogenesis of photosynthetically active chloroplasts in flowering plants (angiosperms) is initiated by light through the red and far‐red photoreceptors, phytochromes, which activate photosynthesis‐associated genes encoded by both the nuclear and plastid genomes. Because photoactivated phytochromes localize to the nucleus but not the plastids, phytochromes ought to control plastid transcription through nucleus‐to‐plastid or anterograde signalling. However, [...]

Chan Yul will give a talk at the upcoming mini-symposium organized by the IDPSIG (Intrinsically disordered protein scientific interest group) -- a grass-roots organization that was formed in 2017 by postdoctoral trainees at Stanford University and Carnegie Institution for Science. The meeting schedule can be found here.
