Our review on nucleus-to-plastid phytochrome signaling has been published in Annu Plant Rev. Congrats Chan Yul and Soeun!
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 in a virtual symposium organized by postdocs at Stanford University and Carnegie Institution for Science
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.
Congratulations to Joseph, Keunhwa, and Yongjian for the story on temperature-induced photobody dynamics published in Nature Communications
Congrats to Joseph, Keunhwa, and Yongjian for their new study on temperature-dependent dynamics of the phyB-containing subnuclear photobodies. Their results showed unexpectedly that individual photobodies respond to temperature increases differently, thereby suggesting that individual photobodies are different with distinct thermostabilities and could act as thermosensors.
