Check out this collaborative paper where we identified two new alleles of a myosin XI that reduce growth and branching and have strong asymmetric division defects. Making the mutant version of the protein is worse than no protein — first author @zebosi.bsky.social 🌽🎉

We have been tracking sequenced plant genomes for many years now not least for our @denbi.bsky.social activities at www.plabipd.de/pubplant_mai.... We have now with about 2000 species finally published this resource doi.org/10.3389/fpls...

Fantastic opportunity for a plant evo-devo person to launch an independent group - amazing facilities, wonderful colleagues and likely the most interesting and welcoming city in Germany!

Hey my fellow Germans! I wasn't aware, but there is an AvH-JSPP postdoc fellowship, dedicated to German citizens aiming to do their postdoc in Japan. It covers salary + travel to Japan + startup for your life in Japan. Let me know if you are interested! www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/apply/spo...

I'm very pleased to present the @cp-devcell.bsky.social Voices on plant model organism: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... While we appreciate the diversity of plant models, one often questions which model is the "best"?

If randomly kidnapping people (including first grade kids) from places of work, education, worship, and immigration appointments and disappearing them without due process to foreign prisons does not meet your definition of fascism, then your definition of fascism is wrong.

Meristems shape plant architectures, and grasses generate a complex array of them. To characterise barley vegetative SAMs and spike development, we used single cell and spatial transcriptome data and integrated them in a new database, BARVISTA. A click on a cell now..... tinyurl.com/38c3mf5d
