I am quite excited about this new Agro strain AS109: doi.org/10.1111/pbi.... I am just wondering if anyone has tried transient expression with this in A. thaliana?

Absolutely gorgeous microscopy and time-lapse imaging on this plant-mutualist-pathogen system! Insane in the membrane 🎶 Well done @alexguyon.bsky.social @dromius.bsky.social and colleagues!

Big congrats to Leonora Peters 🎉! She won 1 of only 2 poster prizes at the Organelles Meeting 🏆Her Master’s thesis was linked to our RTG - and now she joined us as a doctoral researcher in the RTG. We’re excited Leonora continues her science journey with us! 🚀 #GRK2498 #PhDLife #PlantSci

If you are leading a team, you have a responsibility to be a “pragmatic optimist”. Otherwise, you risk being disloyal to the amazing young people you work with. #FridayThoughts

Lab bubble tea break. Thanks everyone for your hard work!

Ready for the image competition for the long night of science. Vanessa’s seedling looks great and also the other entries are worth a visit.

I think this is a really interesting approach of capturing architecture in a quantitative manor. It is fascinating to see how motor proteins can have a large scale impact. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

When it comes to song names, I find this one the most puzzling “The Spanish Entomologist” simply geinous! It reminds me of Sponge Bob. music.apple.com/de/album/the...

Lots of cool new features at the BAR ePlant Browser, such as ecotype SNP data mapped to protein sequence and structure. Check it out at: bar.utoronto.ca/eplant/ #PlantScience @bar-plantbio.bsky.social
