First publication of the year! We set up an image-based quantification of seed phenotypes (here Arabidopsis thaliana). It comes together with a random forest classifier for our favorite phenotype, seed abortion.

New OA Article: "Long-distance transport of siRNAs with functional roles in pollen development" rdcu.be/e1pxk ...These mobile small RNAs support proper pollen development, revealing that non-cell-autonomous small RNAs are crucial for successful plant reproduction.

New paper in @natplants.nature.com finds that #siRNAs can act as long-distance communication signals from maternal to male tissue in #Capsella with functional role in #pollen development. Read here: nature.com/articles/s41477-026-02219-6 @claudiakohler11.bsky.social @jiali024.bsky.social
