🔗 Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 New insights into plant immunity: using ferns to understand evolution! 🌱✨🌿 Excited to share my first (but not last!) published research LRSV. A THREAD … [1/9]

No joke! Pseudomonas viridiflava naturally infects wild Marchantia. Now published in Current Biology. Led by Kayla Robinson with Lucia Buric, Kris Grenz, KhongSam Chia from our group John Innes Centre, and Michelle Hulin & Dr. Wenbo Ma from The Sainsbury Laboratory -sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm thrilled to share that our study is now published in Cell: Extensive N4 cytosine methylation is essential for Marchantia sperm function. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… This paper confirms our 4mC discovery in Marchantia sperm and takes it much further. A thread: 0/13

A breakthrough in plant gene delivery!🌱 Our new study shows that R. rhizogenes strain A4 outperforms traditional agro strains in transient gene expression, especially in solanaceous crops like tomato and pepper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb… 📄Published in Plant Biotechnology Journal

bioRxiv Plant Bio The final outcome of my undergraduate project! Give it a read if you're curious how the green lineage elaborated on the common arsenic detoxification mechanism with an extra sensor protein domain. Very cool and transient role of the golgi with some fun super-resolution imaging.

🧵Thread for our new preprint! (1/) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Take a look at our article "Comparative transcriptomics in ferns reveals key innovations and divergent evolution of the secondary cell walls" rdcu.be/eiV1x. We resolved the fern phylogeny and revealed unexpected features of fern cell walls.

wowowow - congrats Marek Mutwil 🇺🇦 and team

Popular methods like UMAP & t-SNE are stochastic and distort data structure. Bonsai - a novel method - builds trees to relate high-dimensional objects, accounting for measurement noise. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’re very excited to announce that the #nonseedUK25 meeting will be held in Norwich on 12th December 2025. For now, please save the date and more details will follow. Enormous thanks to Philip Carella for organising this year’s meeting 😃

Excited to host the UK NonSeed Plant Meeting in Norwich this year on Friday December the 12th. It’s a great community and these meetings are always fun and informative. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or a newbie looking to diversify your research, please consider joining us!
