Cell walls are crucial in all aspects of plant life, yet challenging to study. PhD Maarten Besten, our chemistry superman, likes a challenge and designed a modular probe toolbox for live 5D plant cell wall imaging. We present: CarboTag. A 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

That’s my image in the post! Gorgeous drosophila ovaries. 🤩 Check out the Faseb BioArt Awards and submit if you have nice cell or dev bio images!

For my new followers: in addition to plant biology, I also create & maintain data visualization contents on GitHub, such as "Friends don't let friends make bad graphs" (github.com/cxli233/Friend…) and "online R learning" (github.com/cxli233/Online…). Check out my repo if interested.

Loved this Figure--many of my favorite proteins and when they emerged in the tree leading to animals

Check out this paper! 🤩 division plane defects that occur in a very specific way, fascinating

Hey americanair it’s really frustrating that customer service at the airport can’t change a flight. No, I do not want to download your silly app, then go to the website to enroll in your silly tracking program by typing in all my info….Two thumbs down 👎 👎

Oohhh this looks interesting

Our deep dive into cis-regulatory diversity using single-cell genomics across maize germplasm reveals how genetic variants reshape chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding, chromatin interactions and much more. Led by Alexandre Marand! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The SSAR DEI Committee's third 'applying to grad school' workshop -- this time focused on preparing your application materials -- will be held on Friday, September 20, from 3:00 - 4:30 pm ET. Please share widely and let me know if you have any questions! 🦎🐍🐢🐸💚

Carolyn Rasmussen americanair Agreed!! americanair customer service at the airport is upsettingly frustrating…… 2 x 2 thumbs down👎👎👎👎

From MBoC Improved tools for live imaging of F-actin structures in yeast Enhanced Lifeact probe drastically increases detection of F-actin in vivo at low expression levels, without altering cellular actin dynamics or organization Bruce Goode doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E2…

Thanks for tweeting this Meng Chen! After all of these years we finally got to collaborate on a project! And congratulations to Wei and the team!

Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
