Delighted to share our work now published in @NaturePlants. This was the major finding of my PhD study where we identified the first Zn sensors and sensing mechanism that control plant Zn status. 1/10

This is a really useful Tansley review by Grmay Hailu Lilay et al. – linking the physiological functions of micronutrients to their deficiency symptoms in plants. Highly recommended. https://t.co/SC7b0T8XhS
Is there knowledge gap in this regard? This review provides answers to these questions, with spectacular illustrative figures depicting the key physiological functions and deficiency symptoms for each of the 8 essential micronutrients (B, Cl, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Mo).
Deficiency of essential micronutrients leads to unique symptoms including stem corky-ness for B, leaf epinasty for Mn, mouse-ear syndrome for Ni, short internode for Zn, & whip-tail for Mo. Which physiological functions of the micronutrients explain these deficiency symptoms?

This is the greatest humanitarian crisis of the decade, though it gets so little attention.
@USAID needs to make this its first priority.

It’s heartbreaking to read all notifications of the loss of numerous martyrs in relation to the three-day national mourning period. So many young and promising #Tegaru perished to defend their family, people and #Tigray from the atrocious war. Let their sacrifice herald peace.
…. the commission said human rights violations in Tigray were “grave and ongoing”, and there had been attacks by the Eritrean Defence Forces (EDF) against civilians.
Crimes against humanity continue in Ethiopia despite truce, say UN experts https://t.co/HV0vDZ6vrR via @AJEnglish
Omna Tigray, along with 64 other organizations, are signatories of a letter to the @UN_HRC, urging the Council to #RenewICHREE for credible investigations and to hold perpetrators accountable of human rights abuses in #Ethiopia. #Justice4Tigray

This month @UN_HRC members debate the fate of #ICHREE – a UN backed investigative mechanism on #Ethiopia.
The mandate is at risk.
Given ongoing abuses 64 regional & int’l orgs call on member states to stand firm. https://t.co/1AskDpvafV

Day 121 of the suspension of food aid to #Tigray by @USAID and @WFP.
The people of Tigray were starved for two and a half years during war and now they are being starved during peace.
#ResumeAid4Tigray today.
