📜 From lab to field: analyses of genome-edited bacterial blight resistant rice 🧑‍🔬 @elizaloopi.bsky.social, José Huguet-Tapia, Michael Selvaraj, @madlensomssich.bsky.social, Frank F White, Bing Yang, @research-science.bsky.social, et al. 📔 bioRxiv #️⃣ #PlantScience #FieldTrials #PlantGenEd #Rice

The team has successfully developed #rice varieties through marker-assisted backcross breeding that are #resistant to bacterial blight. They will be transferred to partners in #Madagascar and #Tanzania, where they'll be tested in the field before they are distributed to local farmers.

Time to polish them figures. Looking forward to finally meet the PD crowd in person! 🌿

Marcel generated an updated map of the World's status regarding the regulations for genome editing. Check it out, we will expand in the future and keep updated....https://www.editagenome.org

#OpenWheatBlast wins UEA Innovation & Impact Award! Open science + International collaboration + Genomics = a quicker response time to the wheat blast pandemic Congrats @kamounlab.bsky.social, Joe Win, @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social, Sergio Latorre and Hernán Burbano! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_2d...

Congratulations to Akira for the discovery of the possibility to observe nuclei across a wide range of plants using near infrared autofluorescence without the need to use any dyes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Conratulations to Eliza Loo to her new publication in Cell Host Microbe. www.hhu.de/en/about-hhu.... New insights into the spatial differentiation of microbiota along the root, the correlation with host physiology and the role of SWEETs for proper colonization!

Congratulations to Jona and Robert Campbell's lab to the new LSSmApple and it use to generate a ratiometric calcium sensor GA-MatryoshCaMP6s and the visualisation of mating factor induced calcium spiking in yeast. doi.org/10.1021/acs.....

Plasmodesmata? Cool fungal effectors being hypermobile and influencing cell-to-cell mobility? All the cool stuff and more in this paper 😎 #PlantScience #plantimmunity

Very pleased to have finally got this out there - many years work by the team - primarily Dana Vlad. Discovered that large vein ranks are actively repressed to allow smaller veins to develop. All grasses we looked at are the same. Allowed us to change patterns in rice - not quite C4 rice but closer

Congratulations to Yugander & our Laurence Albar's team to the publication on rice lines resistant to rice yellow mottle virus by genome editing (doi.org/10.1111/pbi....). Notably loss of CPR5.1, but not CPR5.2 , causes resistance. In contrast to Arabidopsis mutants shows no lesion mimic phenotype.

 📢 Job alert! Are you interested in #PlantScienceResearch, molecular biology and microscopy? Then send your application! We are looking for a postdoc to join our team at @hhu.bsky.social. See adverts below.   #PlantSciJobs

✨Ever wondered how C4 plants 🌱 manage to shuttle metabolites back and forth between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells so efficiently? ✨ They have increased cell-to-cell connectivity between these cells through A LOT of plasmodesmata. @plantsci

Our team at @hhu.bsky.social is looking for a new administrative assistant in the coordination of the project. In this temporary 50% position, you will support a great team of scientists in their daily administrative tasks. All applicants must be fluent in German and English.
