aRt: Building a root barrier. Built using: ggPlantmap and rayshader #plantbio #bioart

Proud to share the work of my first PhD candidate Linge Li ! She investigated how hormones affect internode elongation in tomato shade avoidance, and found that even though transcriptional data points to IAA... GA and BR had bigger roles! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited for #PADiBa2024! Can't wait for my talk tomorrow 😊

Happy to see The Plant Cell include this text in their author guidelines. I fully agree!

Yesterday was a great day at #padiba2024. Great talks, catching up with friends, tour of the city, sampling the local specialties.

Super proud PI - Leonardo Jo presenting our chickpea exodermis work at #padiba2024

Dai-Yin Chao clarifies the evolution of the casparian strip formation and suberization of endodermis. Outstanding work! #padiba2024

🥰

Dear #padiba2024 crew, Have you ever drawn a root picture by hand and filled it with colors to indicate barriers, gene expression or cell identity? We got a tool that you’ll love - come check out poster P1!

Very helpful! But consider colorblind-friendly color palettes 🎨 ggpubfigs only supports colorblind-friendly color palettes, so it is something users don't even need to think about :D github.com/JLSteenwyk/ggp… x.com/tangming2005/s…

#padiba2026 will be in the Switzerland organized by Marie Barberon et al! PADiBa2024

Aurélia Emonet Aurelia Emonet is telling us her very cool story on lignin patterning and Cardamine explosive fruits PADiBa2024

First part of Linge Li's PhD work is now out in Physiologia Plantarum! Evaluation of the roles of brassinosteroid, gibberellin and auxin for tomato internode elongation in response to low red:far-red light. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pp…

Halloween Costume...molecular biology edition!

🧨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)

It has been a journey to put this paper together, and I want to congratulate all the co-first authors Leonardo Jo Mariana Silva Artur 🇧🇷 Sara Buti and @riannekluck, and the collaborators Alex Cantó-Pastor Brady Lab! 🥂🎉🥳 (5/5)

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.
