I'm thrilled to share that I'll be joining Yale University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology Department of MCDB in January 2025! (1/3)

The Third Plant Cell Atlas Symposium is a free and virtual event for people interested in topics like synthetic biology to learn about their applications to #plantscience and network with one another! #ThirdPCASymposium Register now: bit.ly/PCASymp3Reg

So very proud to be part of Brady Lab ♥️ We are all incredibly luck to have Siobhan as a mentor, and friend. Congratulations also to all other new HHMI investigators, specially the plant biologists José Dinneny and Mary Gehring! Fantastic day for the field! 🙌

The next session of the Third Plant Cell Atlas Symposium is on imaging! Register now for this free & virtual event that will bring together experts in #plantscience fields like imaging: bit.ly/PCASymp3Reg

Job alert! Postdoc position in Alex Canto-Pastor’s new lab at Yale Alex Cantó-Pastor

And - it - is - finally - out ! A great story from Yan Ma - in case you haven’t seen it yet. Again, congratulations to all involved!nature.com/articles/s4147…

Science is just better when you are free to communicate ideas in a supportive environment. This resonates so strongly with everybody here (6.8K likes already), and still we keep using horrible, slow, censoring systems for sharing scientific knowledge. We can change this.

🧨Pre-print alert!🧨 We investigated the role of three TFs in tomato 🍅exodermis suberin, and we found some MYB/WRKY antagonism! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… (1/5)

Our latest work as a cover story in Science Magazine ! 🌱 How do plants halt cytokinesis to build plasmodesmata ? Main suspect: the ER . 👀 Stellar work by Patrick ZQ. LI 李自强, with Hortense Moreau, Jules Petit, Fèlix Campelo, @Caillaud_MC, and BIC science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It is out! We identified the stem cell factors of the vascular cambium. This work is a result of fruitful collaboration with Kirsten ten Tusscher and @peter_etchells labs.

New OA Article: Regulation and function of a polarly localized lignin barrier in the exodermis rdcu.be/d2eLI Tomato roots: the exodermis is a genetically distinct polar lignin cap (PLC) barrier from the Casparian strip. SCZ and EXO1 repress PLC deposition. Brady Lab

I am so excited that this is work is published! Please check out this tour-de-force of Conchi Manzano which describes the development, function and genetic regulation of the tomato exodermis. Bonus - this cell wall barrier is actively repressed in inner cortical layers.

Wow look what happens when medicine finally starts studying women.
