Blue light decreases ER Ca²⁺ in stomatal guard cells, with refilling in the dark. Our new @newphyt.bsky.social study shows how ER Ca²⁺ shapes cytosolic Ca²⁺ dynamics doi.org/10.1111/nph....

it was great to collaborate with @lmueller.bsky.social to help characterize the Medicago crn mutant!

It's our birthday! Twenty-five years ago, in December 2000, the Arabidopsis thaliana genome was published and #TAIR was born. Now, we're preparing for the release of #TAIR12 early in the new year. What a long way we've come! bit.ly/3KDJciT #plantbiology #plantscience #genomics #Arabidopsis

Spotlight: Ivan Radin discusses new work from Ryken and colleagues (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) which shows how localization and function of autoinhibitory calcium ATPases maintains the strength of the tip-focus Ca2²⁺ gradient during polarized plant growth. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #PlantBiology

Looking for talks for our zeavolution seminar in the spring. Sign up! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Bob was incredible. I spoke with him a week before he passed and all he wanted to talk about was his plans for teaching in the Spring. He was an amazing scientist and pushed for teaching excellence in the department at every meeting. He will be sorely missed. newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/in-m...

I had a great time writing this dispatch @currentbiology.bsky.social about Jacob Suissa's recent paper on the link between fern phyllotaxis and vascular architecture. "Evo–devo: Ferns flourished due to developmental covariance between leaves and vasculature" authors.elsevier.com/a/1mH793QW8S...

Thank you @aribidopsis.bsky.social for this invitation and was a good open discussion. I really enjoyed it and hope to join more in future.

S4E2 of #No_Time_To_Read_podcast 🎙️ In this episode, I had a wonderful discussion with a very talented graduate student @sagarbashyal.bsky.social Sagar about his recent PNAS paper. Podcast: tinyurl.com/yc63xmdz Article: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🍀🔬 Unpublished data from the lab! The power of doing hardcore genetics, development, and cell biology using plant as model system! In the movie, you will see the primary root tip (magenta arrow) and lateral root (yellow arrow) coiling constantly in the same way over 3 days.

New Current Biology study from @minyaaa.bsky.social and colleagues shows how early CYC expression patterns establish dorsal identity in Mimulus parishii meristems. A clear step forward in understanding floral symmetry and developmental evolution. 🧪 🧪 🔗 buff.ly/3JOjkV1

Fun to get to highlight Minya's @minyaaa.bsky.social new paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1mCCK3QW8S...

My grad student, @ohazel.bsky.social Olivia, started her Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) exploration recently. Image: Arabidopsis root at 41x (left) and same root at 146x (right). This is the first of many SEM images shared by us. More to share in coming days... 🔬🔬🔬

Today is #GivingTuesday, and it's a chance to support the Plant Resilience Institute scientists working to solve grand challenges in the face of climate change. Join us in giving to PRI's Plant Innovation Fund to fuel innovations in plant resilience: plantresilience.msu.edu/Contribute/index.aspx 🌱

A little over a year ago, I co-directed a short film as part of the Symbiosis Film competition, called "No Two Plants". I was paired with a filmmaker and we had a week to make a short film. I also made the score for the film. I'm sharing it here, please enjoy!

This is the danger of shortcut pretty images. After 5-10 years, when we will look back, we will find everything looks like same.

Glad to have this finally published: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... lots of new data since the #preprint. If you are into selective #autophagy, #evolution, #proteostasis Please have a look!

First episode of Season 4 of #No_Time_To_Read_podcast is online! 🎙️🍀 In this episode, @natanellae.bsky.social Natanella told us about her recent @natcomms.nature.com paper on drought stress recovery. Podcast: tinyurl.com/mudf23je Article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
