OMG 🤩

(" ...you HAVE to do (PhD) fieldwork in that place in the picture..."):

I would pay to get this position.

Using applied maths, we have just decoded one of the most rapid motions in the plant kingdom: the squirting cucumber. Published today in PNAS, our work reveals how the stem stiffens to optimise the angle at which the fruit squirts its seeds in a jet of slime:

One in 10 woody plants build domatia, tiny homes for mites on their leaves. The mites benefit the plants by eating fungal and arthropod pests. The relationship is so successful that mite domatia have independently evolved hundreds of times. In PNAS: ow.ly/6aR350Uj4IC

Super opportunity to do a PhD with me and Dr. Peter Etchells -- come and study the molecular basis of an extraordinary symbiosis in which ant farmers obligately farm plants! Please RT! Deadline 31 March findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Really excited to say that my lab's paper on color transitions in Mimulus sect. Erythranthe is out! We found that some traits demonstrate evolutionary convergence in phenotype & genotype, while others are divergent, & that this matters for bee choice! nature.com/articles/s4146…

We did a deep dive into the genetics of giant waterlilies - and here's what we found:

In a new Science study, researchers report that a plant transcription factor involved in jasmonate hormone signaling is a crucial player in resistance against Huanglongbing. This finding may have substantial implications for eventual control of the disease. Learn more in a new
