I’m back at IRRI! As part of my PhD research, I will be analyzing the natural variation of my favorite rice G proteins. Here are the two field trial of my well-watered and drought stress experiments! IRRI 🌾 Penn State Biology AssmannLab Huck Institutes

(1/4) Very happy to share with you the latest from the AssmannLab and BevilacquaLab labs which is out now Genome Biology. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… What is a riboSNitch, and what is this study about? 🧵👇🏻👇🏻

EXTRA LARGE G-PROTEIN2 mediates cell death and hyperimmunity in the chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1-4 mutant #PlantSci buff.ly/3vOI2qd

Our research on riboSNitches has been featured! Check it out. Ángel Ferrero-Serrano Megan Sylvia BevilacquaLab "Climate-associated genetic switches found in plants | Penn State University "psu.edu/news/eberly-co…

Exciting greenhouse experiment of Christian to test his rice CRISPR lines for drought stress response :)

Developed by #PennState researchers including Eberly's BevilacquaLab and AssmannLab, a new method shows how RNA folding changes under stress and could potentially inform development of therapeutics for RNA-linked diseases. buff.ly/3OM3ALz Penn State Chemistry Penn State Biology

The paper that nobody expected

I'm so excited to share my 1st author paper was accepted by Nature Chemical Biology! It was an exciting project that showed how precise location of GPCR signaling endosomes can dictate spatially-selective responses. As always - a huge thanks to Nina Tsvetanova! nature.com/articles/s4158…

🌾 In our latest paper in Plant Communications we present Oryza CLIMtools—a new resource to explore climate-associated genetic variants in rice🌍🧬.
