A genetic approach reveals different modes of action of prefoldins
Finally a systematic analysis of plant prefoldin functions: a sextuple prefoldin mutant is still viable. Here we describe how certain prefoldin functions require the full complex, and some do not.

Coordination between growth and stress responses by DELLA in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha
We propose that the role of DELLA in the coordination of growth and stress responses predates the emergence of gibberellin signaling. Here we describe the functions of DELLA in a bryophyte.

DELLA proteins regulate spore germination and reproductive development in Physcomitrium patens
Ever wondered about the functions of DELLA in moss? What is conserved and what not? You can now get all the answers here, thanks to our collaboration with Juliet Coates (U of Birmingham, UK) and Stefan Rensing (U of Freiburg, Germany).

PICLN modulates alternative splicing and light/temperature responses in plants
BBX24 interacts with JAZ3 to promote growth by reducing DELLA activity in shade avoidance
Plants adapt to functuating temperatures in part through promoting alternative splicing. In collaboration with Marcelo Yanovsky's lab (Instituto Leloir, Buenos Aires, Argentina), we have found part of the mechanism. Read more here.

DELLA functions evolved by rewiring of associated transcriptional networks
Spatial regulation of thermomorphogenesis in plants
We start SPATHERM, a joint effort to study organ- and cell-type specific temperature responses in plants, funded by the PROMETEO program of Generalitat Valenciana. The team includes Maite Sanmartín, Cristina Úrbez, José León, Javier Agustí, David Alabadí and Miguel Blázquez, all at IBMCP.

Plant hormones very often exert different functions in different organs, tissues or cell types. Here we review the basic mechanisms by which this spatial regulation is imposed and discuss several examples.

Spatial regulation of plant hormone action
How do natural populations of plants adapt to water limitation? Here we show that they tend to be smaller: not only they lose less water in absolute values, but they are more efficient in water usage. Nice collaboration led by Carlos de Ollas and Aurelio Gómez-Cadenas at UJI.

We have been awarded three grants in the latest national AEI call. Antonio will lead a study on the characterization of meristem responses under drought stress; David the participation of chaperone-like proteins during heat stress; and Miguel the evolution of light and temperature sensing in land plants.
