We’ve got a new outstanding undergraduate student and a young plant biology colleague. Please follow her to connect with her and welcome Kyla Hughes into our wonderful Twitter (X) community!!

We have now uncovered the role of ABCB19, known as an auxin transporter, in BR export. #cryoEM #clickchemistry 🌱🌱🌱Science Magazine

As a part of #NSFCAREER broader impacts, I am creating an educational video series focusing on the FUNDAMENTALS OF PLANT ANATOMY with Molly Edwards, PhD! 🥼🔬🌿🌱🍃 Help us narrow down the focus areas by taking this self assessment: forms.gle/redARGV2ej6AgJ… Deadline: May 1, 2024

See you all in Vermont in exactly 2 months!

Finally online! First paper from lab! I’m so happy this work found a great home The EMBO Journal read all about how a root barrier does more than just selection! It also signals to the shoot! - a feature thats hidden until you put it plants on a “real” soil doi.org/10.1038/s44318…

We are looking forward to more legume-rhizobia science and discussions in Burlington, Vermont for the 26th NASNFC! Early Bird Registration Deadline in 2 days - May 8th! nasnfc2024.wixsite.com/nasnfc Will you be there?

Reminder that we are hosting a #NewPI webinar next week with PlantPostdocs (@plantpostdocs.bsky.social) talking about the surprises and challenges of the first year or so being a new PI!

Check out our manuscript on how CRISPR/Cas9 editing of a sucrose transporter gene impacts disease severity & flower viability in cassava. This work was a major chunk of my PhD and I'm grateful for all of the co-authors! Becky Bart Kira @Kerri_Gilbert Marisa Yoder

Latest episode of the #No_Time_To_Read podcast! 🎙️ In this episode, we discussed about the root development and noduletaxis in Medicago truncatula with Sonali Roy Sonali Roy Podcast: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/no-ti… Article The Plant Journal: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Kicking off the 26th NASNFC meeting in Burlington today, keynote speaker @JeanMichelAne has a message for the nodulation community “experiments in the lab are ok, greenhouse good but move ASAP to the field to test ideas”. The best way to make real world impact. #NASNFC24

#PlantBio2024 Looking forward to hearing the wonderful Sonali Roy share about the Art and Science of harnessing legume diversity.

The Plant Cell Guest Editor Sonali Roy now on stage at #PlantBio2024 to present her talk, "The Art and Science of Harnessing Legume Diversity" as part of the ASPB President's Symposium 👏👏👏

Gotta share this oldie but goodie: "Why Study Plants" teaching tool from me and The Plant Cell and the theme for the opening plenary session. Great topic and talks! #PlantBio2024 Available in several languages. academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

What a fascinating & engaging talk by Edgar Spalding. #PlantBio2024 Seedling morphogenesis as a case study in why we study plants. How pushing the boundaries of imaging and computational power supported efforts to measure dynamic phenotypes. Because it's an interesting question!

We are looking for ECRs that belong to the IS-MPMI who would like to contribute to the broader Plant Science community's DEI efforts at an all expenses paid NSF retreat. Please contact us for more details.

First ever 3D model of the mitotic spindle in Arabidopsis root gives insights into how a plant cell divvies up genes when dividing in two. Great collaboration between François Nédélec & @LabSchnittger with Helen Saville & Claire Jacquerie using cytosim slcu.cam.ac.uk/news/new-3d-si…

Off to see the neighbors at UT Knoxville Hope to see you tomorrow if you are at UTK! 🌱🫛

Together with GenomeTDCC we are happy to offer a workshop on CRISPR for HBCU educators to be held at MIT next year. Please share with potential applicants. Deadline for applications is Nov 30th. DM or email for any queries. Talks will also feature the wonderful mary williams
