Preprint alert! I am extremely happy to finally (!) share our work on the redox-dependent regulation of the CRKs in plants! We integrated high-throughput interactomics, redox proteomics, structural modelling, and genetics to map a ROS-dependent CRK interaction landscape in Arabidopsis.

Excited to share what we learned about Katanin in maize www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪

As part of this grant I will be looking soon for a Post-doc in Oxford to model nano-morphogenesis. Please RT and contact me directly if it is a good match for you.

Our first study on how the leaf succulent Kalanchoë laxiflora makes stomatal subsidiary cells is finally peer-reviewed & out - and it made the cover! 🌵 🧬 🔬 doi.org/10.1126/scia... Despite 150 years of evolution, grasses and Crassulacean succulents use the SAME gene to make subsidiary cells! 🤯

During secondary growth, primary protective barriers break, and a new one forms beneath: the phellem. But what triggers phellem to differentiate and become a functional barrier? Our results show it’s mechanical cues from tissue rupture 🌱 Check out our preprint 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵/1
