Our addition to the growing toolkit for characterizing strigolactone receptors. We love transient expression in benthi, so why not use CRISPR to make it a better platform? Led by grad student Alex White with help from Jose Mendez and Aashima Khosla dx.doi.org/10.1002/pld3.3…

Our new paper ⁦Nature Plants⁩ is out! We combined structure function approaches & CRISPR editing in plants to elucidate the conformational switch of MAX2 #ubiquitin ligase in #strigolactone path & we found a primary metabolite that unlocks the ligase nature.com/articles/s4147…

Pretty proud of this review that Mark Waters and I wrote on karrikin signaling and the (still) mysterious KAI2 ligand. 18 years after the discovery of karrikins in smoke, this field has come a long way! Final version is out now nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Our latest work from Dr. Qingtian Li Qingtian We find that degradation-resistant SMXL proteins attenuate strigolactone signaling by interfering with targeting of other members of the SMXL family by D14-MAX2. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
