Leslie Sieburth is Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Utah, where she also serves in the Molecular Biology Program. Her research group investigates plant developmental genetics using the model system Arabidopsis thaliana. Education B.S., Humboldt State University Ph.D., University of Georgia Research Focus Her laboratory addresses two major themes: (1) post-transcriptional control of gene expression through mRNA decay and P-body dynamics, and (2) long-distance hormonal signaling mediated by a novel carotenoid-derived metabolite. By combining genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and metabolomics, the group deciphers how RNA turnover and mobile signals orchestrate leaf patterning and shoot development. Publication Trends Across the past 15 years, Sieburth’s publications illuminate a coherent program that bridges RNA biology with hormone signaling. Early work defined key components of the Arabidopsis mRNA decapping machinery and uncovered the unexpected role of P-bodies in miRNA-mediated translational repression. Later studies advanced to the discovery and characterization of the BPS (bypass) signal, a root-derived carotenoid derivative that acts as a new plant hormone, arresting shoot growth by disrupting cytokinin signaling and meristem maintenance. Scientific Recognition While no specific awards are listed in the provided text, her work appears in top-tier journals such as PNAS , Science , Plant Cell , and EMBO Journal , attesting to broad scientific impact. Funding & Team The lab is currently funded through federal grants to explore the biochemical identity of the BPS signal and the mechanistic basis of selective mRNA decay. Graduate students and post-doctoral researchers work on projects ranging from metabolite profiling to high-resolution imaging of P-body dynamics.
