IntroductionPlants live in a constantly changing and often unpredictable environment but lack motility. To survive, plants have evolved ways to dynamically adjust their physiology in response to their environment. Key for this is the establishment and maintenance of meristematic cell populations that can develop into differentiated cells when needed. In the young root, the primary root meristem actively divides to increase root length, giving rise to several cell types.

Joanne Chory was a pioneering biologist and geneticist whose work transformed modern molecular plant biology. Her early discoveries on how plants sense and respond to light, and how they regulate growth through steroid hormones, reshaped our understanding of plant development. Her vision for using plants to mitigate global warming through carbon sequestration cemented her legacy as a scientist and innovator.

AbstractRoot systems take up water and nutrients from the soil and thereby underpin all essential plant functions. The size of the root system affects the ability of roots to capture these resources and determine the amount of carbon that roots transfer into the soil. Understanding the genetic basis of root biomass is therefore very important for enhancing crop resilience and productivity, especially in the face of climate change, as for soil carbon sequestration efforts.

AbstractThe lignocellulosic biorefinery industry can be an important contributor to achieving global carbon net zero goals. However, low valorization of the waste lignin severely limits the sustainability of biorefineries. Using a hydrothermal reaction, we have converted sulfuric acid lignin (SAL) into a water-soluble hydrothermal SAL (HSAL). Here, we show the improvement of HSAL on plant nutrient bioavailability and growth through its metal chelating capacity.
