I attended a really inspiring talk by Jose Dinneny today as the Thornton-Massa speaker at Colorado State University. His vision for the future of agriculture with synthetic biology was really thought-provoking. It’s great to learn AND get inspired! @josedinneny.bsky.social @csuagbio.bsky.social

✨ Paper spotlight ✨ #Lithium in plants nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (🧵 1/6) This #TansleyReview presents emerging insights into lithium’s role in #plants. Once thought to mimic sodium, lithium is now known to use distinct transport mechanisms and uniquely affect enzymes and DNA.

A tiny white-petalled weed beloved of plant biologists has received a CRISPR-fueled makeover, turning it into a supersized ruby-colored bloom www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I really like the series of profiles @newphyt.bsky.social is currently publishing. The new one is on @stanfordstomata.bsky.social: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PlantScience #PlantLuminaries

Looking for some clarity in the labyrinth of terms regarding lateral root initiation (priming, founder cell specification, pre-branch sites, oscillation zone, root clock,...)? Here is our new paper hopefully bringing some light in the darkness: track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...

We are pleased to announce that @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social has been awarded the RKS Wood Prize 2026 by the @bspp.bsky.social. “I am humbled to have been awarded the RKS Wood Prize 2026. I’d like to thank my research group and my TSL colleagues for their inspiration and support.” buff.ly/VvoR27Q

New preprint from the lab. We mapped the dynamics of phospholipids during lateral root formation and show that PI(4,5)P₂ plays a key role: targeted reduction in pericycle promotes LR development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Jie Huang ( #PlantChemetics lab) and I wrote a dispatch on Zhang et al.'s work (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) describing a #protease effector that cleaves the extracellular domain of a plant receptor-like kinase, and it's none other than BAK1! Enjoy! authors.elsevier.com/a/1ldGk3QW8S...

I thought it might be interesting to look at a word cloud of the titles of the past month’s worth of Lupin publications. Here’s what I see: the top five words are white, breeding, data, phosphorus, and root. #research #science #plantscience

🌿 Excited to share our new editorial on streptophyte trait evolution in the latest virtual issue from @newphyt.bsky.social, with @jandevries.bsky.social & @Ralph_Panstruga. The issue features several articles from MAdLand collaborations @watertoland.bsky.social Check it out: doi.org/10.1111/nph....
