Photorespiration is linked to DNA methylation by formate as a one-carbon source - Nature Plants This study reveals that Arabidopsis reassimilates formate produced during photorespiration via the cytosolic folate cycle to fuel DNA methylation, forming a metabolic–epigenetic bridge that links elev...

Delighted to share our paper, out today in @natplants.nature.com

Not all “wasted” carbon is lost: formate released during photorespiration can be reused to support DNA methylation. Our work reveals a metabolic link between CO₂ levels and epigenetic regulation in Arabidopsis.
