A peculiar bacterial enzyme has allowed researchers to achieve what even the popular #CRISPR–Cas9 #genomeediting system couldn’t manage: targeted changes to the genomes of mitochondria, cells’ crucial energy-producing structures. nature.com/articles/d4158… #biology

Deep deep thanks to Landry lab! Let’s keep in touch and continue exploring nanoscience in agriculture! I will definitely visit back and welcome to visit my lab!

Nanotechnology-enabled plant agriculture; a fun collaborative review stemming from last year's nano-agriculture workshop at McGill University, discussing nanotechnology's role in the future of food security and sustainability, out today in Nature Food: tinyurl.com/yxeh5ds3

Thank you to landry lab Landry Lab and Yang lab Yang Group - UC Berkeley for this great collaboration! We have another nanomaterial capable to deliver cargos in plants!

Our research topic "Overcoming Genome Editing Challenges in Plants: New Tools and Nanotechnologies" is live on Frontiers in Genome Editing: frontiersin.org/research-topic… Submit manuscript abstracts by August 29! Thanks to all co-editors juliana matos Huan Zhang tufan oz and Dr.Rustgi

Want to deliver RNA in plants 🪴with nanoparticles 🧪? Nanoparticle cell entry isn't needed! Check out Natalie Goh & Huan Zhang's paper out today in Nature Nanotechnology featuring nanospheres, rods, and a transport mechanism for nanoparticles in plant tissues! tinyurl.com/2mm28aha

We know quite a bit about nanoparticle interactions in mammalian cells. But what about plants? New Research Highlight on a Nature Nanotechnology paper by Landry Lab reporting the interactions of siRNA-gold nanoparticles in plant leaves - and yes, they are different go.nature.com/3HXtTLu

Thanks and excited to share our work!

Read the rest of the story here and stay tuned for more from this line of inquiry. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Looking forward to it! See what differences plants have regarding to the RNA delivery.

Protein delivery in plants without biolistics🍃!! We use a complementation-based sensor to confirm protein delivery in mature plants and mediate protein-protein interactions to label actin in vivo. Check out Jeff's newly posted preprint here! tinyurl.com/bdmwp96c

Congrats to Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) Fellow + new #PhDgrad of UC Berkeley, Dr. Natalie Goh Natalie Goh! 🎓🎉 Read our Q & A with Dr. Goh: ow.ly/fqkz50JCMQz Focus: Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering | Sponsors: BASF Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. ⁣#ucberkeley

Plants do not suffer in silence. Instead, when thirsty or stressed, they make “airborne sounds,” according to a new study go.nature.com/3Zvppn4
