We deciphered a novel genetic pathway underlying trinucleotide repeat-mediated gene silencing, published today in Nature Plants. Thanks to my team School of Biological Sciences, Monash and collaborators SKB Lab Ari's lab, Ram Yadhv, Hong Toa, Emmanuel, and @cellphylab.bsky.social. rdcu.be/dFb95

By midnight Monday 22 April (Pacific time USA) extended deadline to submit an abstract for a talk at #ICAR2024SanDiego! You can submit to all sessions but sessions looking especially to expand their abstract submissions are listed below: icar2024.weebly.com/mini-symposiaw…

A research briefing accompanying the article from ⁦Sridevi Sureshkumar⁩ providing a summary of the paper as well as behind the paper and expert & editors opinion. nature.com/articles/s4147…

Happy to have helped with quantifying nuclear localisation accurately. Harrison York from our lab used FLIM (Leica Microsystems) at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences to discard autofluorescence, abundant in plant cells, and pick GFP signals.

New Letter: "SUMO protease FUG1, histone reader AL3 and chromodomain protein LHP1 are integral to repeat expansion-induced gene silencing in Arabidopsis thaliana" rdcu.be/dFvmz With associated Research Briefing: rdcu.be/dFvne

Have you ever noticed how the academy's power dynamics can be insane? It's a topic that's been on my mind lately. Do you think there's a better model out there to help improve or even curb these dynamics? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Post-translational modifiers are involved in the responses of plants to various environmental stimuli and a new study by @Sridevi Sureshkumar highlights the importance of post-translational modifiers and histone readers in epigenetic silencing. nature.com/articles/s4147…

Very nice story from my friend Jia-Wei Wang’s lab!! Reciprocal conversion between annual and polycarpic perennial flowering behavior in the Brassicaceae: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

I'm thrilled to announce the complete program for #ICAR2024SanDiego! 👉🏽Please check out the amazing line of up over 300 speakers in nearly 50 sessions! I hope to see you soon in San Diego.. icar2024.weebly.com/full-program.h…

Hello friends, I am making a movie for the start of #ICAR2025 in Ghent next year! I need your help to make it a community project! Please retweet + comment your favorite Arabidopsis live imaging video to be featured in the movie. Anything from macro to single-molecule, tell me!

Latest paper led by our collaborator Alex Fournier-Level from University of Melbourne with Sridevi Sureshkumar & SKB Lab from School of Biological Sciences, Monash on trans generational memory of thermal responses in plants. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

What do we know about DNA repeats? Sridevi Sureshkumar sridevi sureshkumar and colleagues emphasise the underexplored nature and immense potential of this area of research, particularly in plants nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111…

Simple sequence repeats and their expansions: role in plant development, environmental response and adaptation 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… #TansleyReview by Sureshkumar et al. SKB Lab, @GATClab #PlantScience

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z

Check out our (⁦Avilash Singh Yadav⁩, ⁦Sridevi Sureshkumar⁩ and Alok Sinha ) thoughts on temperature sensing and response in plants out now ⁦Science Magazine⁩ ⁦Monash University⁩ ⁦School of Biological Sciences, Monash⁩ ⁦Monash Science⁩ (1/4) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our review with SKB Lab Sridevi Sureshkumar and Alok Sinha on plant temperature sensing is now in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Special thanks to Weill Institute for Cell & Molecular Biology Roeder lab and my alma mater Monash University @Monashbio (1/2).

Plants don’t use a single “thermometer” to sense heat – they decode it through a molecular network! A new review led by Monash University biologists could reshape how we engineer climate-resilient crops using AI & synthetic biology. monash.edu/science/news-e… #MonashScience

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… "Dispersed components drive temperature sensing and response in plants" ...an interesting concept in temperature sensing by plants in this "Science" review. Thanks, Suresh, Sridevi and Avilash BRIC-NIPGR Department of Biotechnology
