So excited to see this story published! Ever wondered how grass can grow back? Part of the answer is the leaf shape. We worked together to reveal the mechanism that defines the grass leaf. #collaboration #plantscience InnerWorldsJIC Cornell University Berkeley Plant & Microbial Biology Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences

Have the #fern people realized that the genome from Adiantum capillus-veneris was also released today! This is like fern Christmas! 😱🤩🌿 nature.com/articles/s4147…

This is Zishan Fu (傅子珊 Sannie) presenting how she plans to understand the evolution of sieve cells in ferns in the The Molecular Palaeobotany and Evolution Group at Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences (Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium 2022)

A great day in Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium! Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) Thanks all the speakers for the wonderful talks and thanks everyone who is interested in story of phloem evolution in ferns.

Day 2 of #SLS22 Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) Our postdoc Rafael Rafael Cruz 🪴🔬🧬🇧🇷 #FernAlly is talking about the early origin of phloem related genes in vascular plants 🧬

Some pieces of autumn around Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences

And ferns are ferntastic!
