Prelude to another steaming day. This weed is already sweating 😳

Our paper is out !!! NADPH oxidases and aquaporins within membrane nanodomains form a functional unit for ROS signaling. Great work by arthur-poitout.bsky.social and amazing collaborator jbfiche.bsky.social, Jose Ugalde, A Meyer yvonjaillais.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2529740123

I am incredibly excited and grateful to have received an ERC Advanced Grant for my project, WOODIER: What Makes Trees Woody! 🌳 This award feels like the culmination of many years of work carried out in our research group, and the biggest thanks go to my lab members. bsky.app/profile/erc.... 1/x

🌱 A big step for plant breeding in Europe The EU has approved the #NGT Regulation — creating “clear conditions for applying modern breeding approaches”, says our CEO Felix Büchting. A step towards more resource‑efficient, sustainable agriculture 🌎 Our Press release: www.kws.com/corp/en/medi...

Disaster struck last night. My trusty Orval glass gave up... Luckily after completing one last service. RIP 🙏

Good news to European innovation! EU Parliament’s ENVI Committee backs new #NGTs rules ahead of plenary vote tomorrow, 17 June. A clearer framework can support resilient crops, fewer inputs and more sustainable farming🌱

I should add this to the part of prizes and recognitions for my ERC application 🎉

#cuticle cell wall, ROS, morphogenesis, marchantia

#single insert transformation. The problem of multiple inserts lies in your T-DNA 😳 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

W3 Professorship for Plant Biotechnology. Freiburg, Germany. Apply if you'd like to become my successor. #plantscijobs #plantsciencejobs www.academics.de/jobs/w3-prof...

For liverwort mavens, I've needed to shift our Marchantia resources to a new website (I've reached retirement from academia in Cambridge) - and the plant synthetic biology stuff has moved to https://www.haseloff-lab.info (Now have more time for DIY builds! Updates to come)

I wonder if you'd get a complementary Photoshop licence when you buy their antibodies. 🤔😳

#geome editing, multiplex prime editing at high efficiency and precision in monocots! 😎

Don't underestimate synonymous mutations!

Beware of thermofisher abs

Register for the meeting in time, we also offer exciting opportunities to get to know my country Bulgaria 🇧🇬 🌹!

#water status sensing via molecular condensation! 😎👌 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#protein prediction. Open source ESM Fold2. Have fun! 😎😎😎 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

#imaging!

#morphogen patterns and time integration. Maybe something to try with #auxin

Sunny weather inspired the x-th attempt to eradicate horsetails (stuff that outlived the dinosaurs) The view of my bucket of horsetails next to my king fern (osmunda) and those 'regular' ferns, illustrates of our 'covid' review about shift from pericycle to endodermis derived lateral roots 🤓

Here it finally is: our protocol for boosting maize transformation. We’ve already shared it at several conferences, and it was overdue to give it its final shape and submit it. We hope it will be useful for the community! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#dedifferentiation depends on cell type. This is what happens when you make protoplasts 👌
