Here I offer a distraction from the terrible news coming from all directions this week—our new preprint! Read on if you like #mechanobiology #plantbiology #piezo channels #vacuoles or #moss. . . Thoughts/questions/RTs are welcome! 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We study mechanosensitive ion channels in plants, and one of the big questions we want to answer is how this mesmerizing 🤓class of proteins has been tailored through evolution to the unique mechanical environment of the plant 🌱 cell. 2/10
So, a few years ago we began an effort to study the plant homologs of the famous PIEZO channel, which is a MAJOR mechanosensory cation channel in animals. In this preprint, we describe the evolution, genetics & cell biology of PIEZO channels in moss, or Physcometrium patens. 3/10
