Professor of Cell Biology @UCRiverside studying how plants adjust their growth and photosynthesis to adapt to particular light and temperature environments.
Excited to share our review: “Twenty-Five Years of Photobodies: Formation, Composition, and Two-Compartment Phytochrome B Signaling Logic.” We synthesize how photobodies form, what’s inside, and how PB-nucleoplasm partitioning tunes phyB signaling dynamic range. https://t.co/jiJI036DYd
My lab's very first manuscripts are out!!!
- We identified nearly 60 conserved #RNA structures in plastids
- We found that transcriptional response to warm temperatures in whole seedling is confounded by response at organ level #thermomorphogenesis
Link to both preprints below
Plants encounter high temperatures during the day. We report a multisensor high-temperature signaling framework for triggering daytime thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis. Congratulations to all authors @DeFan1131790@nan22791@Xuemei_RNAlab -- https://t.co/YnYE3stcVI
📢 Thermomorphogenesis community 📢
Excited to announce that we will have Josué Saiz-Pérez (@J_SaizPerez) presenting his preprint on the regulation of stomata in thermomorphogenesis.
Don't miss out!
A Joanne Chory memorial symposium will take place on July 25-26 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, WI, right before the Plant Biology 2025 conference. Email [email protected] for Chory Symposium-only registration -- https://t.co/jMBVsRnYZx
We are delighted to announce the publication of our manuscript " Temperature-driven changes in membrane fluidity differentially impact FILAMENTATION TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE H2-mediated photosystem II repair" as a Breakthrough Report in The Plant Cell.

We're excited to welcome plant geneticist Detlef Weigel back to Salk as a Nonresident Fellow! Weigel served on our faculty before becoming a director at the Max Planck Institute in Germany. NRFs are a group of eminent scientific advisors who guide the Institute’s leadership.

Happy to share the PhD work of @MaolinPeng who did a remarkable project tagging all the Arabidopsis HSFs and discovering their mode of activation by heat via prion-related domains. https://t.co/J3tSEc1Ya2
Thrilled to announce our work in Science! 🧪
We reveal GAME15, a bifunctional protein critical for steroidal glycoalkaloid biosynthesis in plants, linking metabolism & defense.
Great collaborative work! @AsaphAharoni@sayantanpanda@ScienceMagazine

The Wall Street Journal honors Joanne Chory's lasting legacy -- "Joanne Chory (pronounced Cory), the third of six children in a family of Lebanese descent, was born on March 19, 1955, in Methuen, Mass...... The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia earlier this year awarded Chory the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Life Science for her work on plant genetics. Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking are among previous winners of Franklin medals..." https://t.co/qZ0iYAUdDh via @WSJ
