Super excited to see my main PhD project finally out in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.

Most plants can`t handle salt, but have evolved strategies to survive in it. How do they do it?🌱🧪 Excited to share some of our first insights using a new cryoelemental imaging technique to answer these questions at the subcellular scale!(1/8) www.nature.com/articles/s41... @nature.com #PlantScience

Here is a preprint with potential interest to those fascinated by host-microbe interactions, abiotic stress adaptation, xylogenesis, P bodies & mRNA turnover, and extended phenotypes induced by microbial effectors: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... (1/5)

The team has successfully developed #rice varieties through marker-assisted backcross breeding that are #resistant to bacterial blight. They will be transferred to partners in #Madagascar and #Tanzania, where they'll be tested in the field before they are distributed to local farmers.

New preprint from the Barberon lab! Seen @PPLplantarum 🧪 Léa Jacquier et al. 2024 Directional Cell-to-cell Transport in Plant Roots 💡Plasmodesmata enable unidirectional nutrient flow in differentiated roots, overcoming apo-barriers like Casparian strips! 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2024... #PlantBiology

Ok, so #ExpansionMicroscopy has now reached the #PlantScience field 🔬🌾 Preprints from two labs out today on @biorxiv-plants.bsky.social #1, Magali S. Grison et al. bsky.app/profile/soms... #2: Michelle Gallei, Sven Truckenbrodt, et al. bsky.app/profile/soms... #PlantMicroscopy #PlantCellBiology

THE WIP6 TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR TOO MANY LATERALS SPECIFIES VEIN TYPE IN C4 AND C3 GRASS LEAVES https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.20.572592v1

In our new issue of CEPLAS Kompakt Michael Wudick from @hhu.bsky.social explains how plants can respond to wounding and damage caused by insects!

🌱 🔬 We asked how organ formation in the outer region of plant meristems affects the stem cell zone in the center, and found that the transcription factor SHORTROOT, which controls cell identities in the root, acts as a mobile signal between regions in the shoot meristem🪴📃 doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Was wir die letzten 10 Jahre so gemacht haben?? Schaut es euch an! Am 21. Nov eröffnet unsere Foto-Ausstellung in der ULB @hhu.bsky.social ! tinyurl.com/479jmysc
