We are incredibly excited & proud: our first publication is out in eLIFE! "Making conferences in the plant sciences more inclusive through community recommendations" elifesciences.org/articles/106... This project was a team effort involving contributors from seven professional societies. #PlantSci

We just published: Why you should sequence your plasmids (and how to do it for free) Through @GetGenome scientists in 100 countries can access free whole-plasmid sequencing —giving researchers the confidence to move their experiments forward. medium.com/p/why-you-sh...

Very proud to share our latest preprint: postdoc/LRSF fellow Yue Rui studies the mechanisms regulating attachment of the cell wall to the plasma membrane. The Cellulose Synthase Complex and REMORINs determine the extent of attachment and root osmotic stress tolerance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very excited to share this mini- review that I wrote ‘Cell wall-Microtubule interactions in plant cell’ got published in Cytoskeleton journal. Thank you for this amazing opportunity and the support @aribidopsis.bsky.social @cytoskeljournal.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

For St. Paddy's Day today, you may wonder why you can't find a four-leaf clover. Gaps in the research suggested that a combination of environmental & genetic factors lead to this rare clover, but a study done 10 years ago suggests that it may be genetic. bit.ly/CloverStudy

Big shoutouts to Nick Coleman for bringing this delightful protein into existence. FuGFP is the bestest. I've literally put this in everything I interface with. Pictures don't do it justice, tbh.

🌽 Dense planting reduces internal light intensity and red:far-red ratio in the canopy, triggering shade avoidance responses that limit #yield enhancements. DBB2, a ZmBBX gene, is a crucial regulator of plant height and the shade avoidance response in maize. 🌽 doi.org/10.1111/jipb... #PlantScience
