RSVP to join the Dec 16th webinar and hear from the 2025 Arabidopsis Community Dissemination of Arabidopsis Knowledge Awardees! bit.ly/naascawards @bar-plantbio.bsky.social @natanellae.bsky.social

Very thankful for this award and really look forward to working with talented researches at JGI to make this project come to fruition

This is a great program. We started in in 2016 and it just gets better and better! Check out some past fellows who are on Bluesky: @philcarella.bsky.social @mattbnt.bsky.social @psaima.bsky.social @fromani.bsky.social @sjb287.bsky.social @aribidopsis.bsky.social @cavycavs.bsky.social

You know that thing when you are starting a new project and exploring the regulated genes, then you find a gene that you don't know regulated by what you work on. Then you look up the reference for it and it is your own paper from ~20 years ago. Yeah, that happened today. - A real full circle event

IPGSA 2025 is over, but there were many great talks and meetings with old and new plant hormone friends. See you all in Vienna if not sooner. #IPGSA

Excited to head out to IPGSA and see lots of great science on plant hormones! The lab is busy making posters to show what we have all been doing.

Forgot to add the Graphical Abstract for - Khanna et al 2025 - that sums up the questions we asked in this paper at a Physiological, Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and Cytokinin Hormone level.

Very happy to have our latest multi-omics cytokinin work published - "trans-Zeatin N-glucosides Can Delay Salt Accelerated Leaf Senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana" in Plant Physiology and Biochemistry #cytokinin

These are the types of reviews with commentary (Unanswered questions) that I really like seeing, as they combine expert opinions with what we don't know - and should be working on!

Wrapped up a great ASPB Southern Section meeting - full of amazing Talks and Posters. Thanks to all that helped make it a success! #ASPB #PlantScience #SS-ASPB

Really enjoying the Science at the SS-ASPB conference in Raleigh this weekend #PlantScience #ASPB #SS-ASPB

Please come join us! This meeting is a great place to have graduate students give talks. Abstract and Travel Award deadlines - Monday the 17th!

ASPB "remains committed to robustly supporting and strongly advocating for diversity and inclusion in the plant sciences, period." Read full statement 👉 https://blog.aspb.org/aspb-reaffirms-its-commitment-to-diversity-and-inclusion/.

Daily campus walk for physical health, now more important for mental health

The physiological and molecular responses of potato tuberization to projected future elevated temperatures (Abigail M Guillemette, Guillian Hernández Casanova, John P Hamilton, Eva Pokorná, Petre I Dobrev, Václav Motyka, Aaron M Rashotte, Courtney P Leisner) https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiae664

Please share! Nominate your Arabidopsis community colleagues, trainees (or yourself) by January 31! Open to people working with Arabidopsis from all parts of the world. Only nominees that advance to round 2 are required to have a full nomination package submitted: bit.ly/3DtjNEi

How do potatoes respond to heat stress? See our new paper out in Plant Physiology. @aaronrashotte.bsky.social @jphamilton.bsky.social @plantphys.bsky.social academic.oup.com/plphys/advan...

Today's finding of Cytokinin action in the wild - in a "green island" on a leaf

Enjoyable senescing leaf from today's walk

TAIR is and has been an amazing indispensable website, which I still use weekly if not daily to go look up gene function or something else. 🐐 #plantscience

Check out this announcement for a fantastic meeting on plant hormones #plantscience

Since we are reintroducing ourselves. My lab and I have been working on understanding the role of the plant hormone cytokinin (including N-conjugated forms) and CRFs (Cytokinin Response Factors) in senescence and abiotic stress.

OK, I am making the move. Maybe a little late, but am looking forward to being here.
