We revisited the evolution of plant actins (last paper was in 1999), with the aim to understand why plants have many actin isoforms and how these isoforms can be functionally different. Strikingly, unlike e.g. the auxin response factors, actins are completely segregated per taxonomic lineage. (1/n)

I just published: Leave the red shirt out: Scientists, stop complicating the story Scientists are brilliant at finding details. We are less brilliant at knowing which details to shut up about. medium.com/p/leave-the-...

The research, led by Dr Edith Forrestier whilst at the @jimhaseloff.bsky.social lab @camplantsci.bsky.social is published in ‘Communications Biology’: tinyurl.com/ypfd54xr @fromani.bsky.social @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social @cam.ac.uk #PlantsAtCambridge
