DR5 is a favorite auxin reporter. In @natcomms.nature.com we show DR5 expression is stochastic, exhibiting both intrinsic and extrinsic noise. We put two different color DR5 reporters in the same plant and see stochasticity. Congrats Shuyao Kong, Byron Rusnak, and Mingyuan Zhu rdcu.be/emNVQ

New preprint from the lab: ATM controls fork processing and restart, and the PPM1D phosphatase is needed to properly balance this action of ATM. Congratulations to @yitingcao.bsky.social @yingzhengwang.bsky.social and Jumana Badar. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
