Chemical probes + imaging can reveal spatiotemporal patterns of a wide range of physico-chemical features in plants, without the need for genetic access. We reviewed what tools exist and how they can be used & engineered. Chemistry meets plant cell biology! www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

How do different clonal layers interact to make a leaf flat? How do they integrate genetic and mechanical cues to achieve this remarkable feat? That is precisely what we answered through our work! Special thanks to all contributors! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

From the Science Communication Lab: a new mini documentary highlighting my lab’s work on roots and their environmental responses! Beautiful videography helps to communicate the wonder of this hidden world of plants below our feet. youtu.be/vqZ3LT8sCIQ?...

New kid on the block!

Well well, Merci beaucoup @france-bioimaging.bsky.social for recognising 'The Puzzled Awakening'. A special thanks to @rdplab.bsky.social where it was imaged during my stay!

Very excited to share my first solo Tansley Insight. An integrated view on the hydraulics of aboveground plant meristems, and the framework of my future work as part of this community #PlantScience @newphyt.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Ingenious solutions!

Thrilled to share our latest work: how plants control growth through activation of a surface-specific growth programme. Thanks @zoenv.bsky.social, @nathan-german.bsky.social and the other coauthors for all the hard work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Introducing the 1,000 Flower Collection 🧬🌹 I’m creating 1,000 genetically designed flowers each crafted with new colors, patterns, and shapes. Here’s how I’m making it happen… and how you can join me on this journey 🧵(1/7)

From Old Joe, to the floral embellished Dino! Super-packed sessions and fun at the Black country museum! NGS-2025 in the city of Birmingham and 🇬🇧 was fantastic! @newphyt.bsky.social

Bumping into friends from 🇨🇦 for the @newphyt.bsky.social NGS-2025, is such a reminder that world is small and everyone is under one, same and large 'canopy' of plant biology! Great symposium and happy to meet @virajalim.bsky.social!

Anomalies often result in meaningful identities. Stochastic diffusion of proteins is necessary for identity in leaves. However, when the diffusion is stopped, it affects the identity of the leaf.

Speaking with two of my mentors (Utpal and Olivier) on developmental robustness. Walking through the lens of history, science and philosophy! Thanks to @insdb.bsky.social for the platform!

The 'last-drinks-farewell' of a short visit of a long lasting collaboration! @rdplab.bsky.social
