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!

Review: Plant receptor-like kinases sense extrinsic and host-derived signals and shape the microbiome | Plantae
Plant genomes contain hundreds of genes encoding receptor-like kinases (RLKs), which are membrane-spanning proteins with an extracellular perception domain and an intracellular signaling domain.

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:

Marker-assisted in vivo imaging reveals pre-patterning events prior to lateral root organogenesis
The branching pattern of the Arabidopsis root is established as early as in the distal tip of the primary root.

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.

effector that cleaves the extracellular domain of a plant receptor-like kinase, and it's none other than BAK1! Enjoy!

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.
