It has been a great week of phenomenal science and amazing discussions I am glad to receive travel award from Association of Applied Biologists AAB @aabiologists.bsky.social to attend and present at #ICAR2025 Big thanks to Shiva prasad, National Centre for Biological Sciences, Infosys Foundation India for all the support.

#AwardHighlight!🏆 Steffi Raju, graduate student from Shiva prasad lab was one among the ten Early Career Researchers to receive the travel award from AAB @aabiologists.bsky.social to attend the International Conference on Arabidopsis Research at Ghent, Belgium 🎉Congratulations Steffi!

Preprint alert! Here is the second chapter from Avik Kumar Pal, a fantastic PhD student. We show endosperm-specific roles of OsCLSY4 chromatin remodeler especially its involvement in grain quality. Comments welcome National Centre for Biological Sciences Tata Institute of Fundamental Research DAE India biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🔬 New Preprint on bioRxiv! 📄 I'm thrilled to share our latest Cryo-EM work, which shows how medin, a vascular amyloid, reshapes Aβ40 fibrils to mimic the more toxic Aβ42 polymorphs.

Deeighted to share our on "GA-independent DELLA regulation by inositol pyrophosphate in a nonvascular land plant", published now in Nature Chemical Biology Nature Chemical Biology. Excellent efforts by Priyanshi Priyanshi, a brilliant graduate student in my lab. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Please join us in Wageningen, lot of fun to learn more about plant development together! Last date for sending your application: 14th August

A snapshot of the mechanics shaping organs: what plants and animals can teach each other. Thank you Mabel Stanford University and @Dash_Ankita IISER Pune for putting this together. Department of Biotechnology , SERB authors.elsevier.com/a/1lamy3si8Q0a…

A detailed protocol to monitor inositol phosphate profile in Marchantia and other land plants from our lab. Wonderful efforts by Priyanshi and Riya!

Breaking genetics news‼️🌱🌽 A natural DNA trick triples recombination in maize. What we first saw in Arabidopsis (Ian Henderson lab) a decade ago is now confirmed in crops—opening new doors for plant breeding. Published today in Nature Plants! More details: nature.com/articles/s4147…

🌱📚Excited to share my journey and experiences in academia, the ups, downs, and everything in between! Hope it sparks good conversations! PlantPostdocs (@plantpostdocs.bsky.social) PlantGrads

Our work on identification of non-archetypal activity of IPK2 in generating inositol pyrophosphate 4/6-IP7 and regulating heat stress acclimation conserved in land plants, now out in PLOS Genetics, spearheaded by very talented Ranjana Ranjana Yadav journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Congrats to Marianne Kramer and authors for work published The Plant Cell! A terrific Academic+Industry collaboration to identify "aberrant RNAs" that trigger silencing. We used ML, RUBY and a different approach to transcriptomics "All-in-One" RNA-seq: academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

We are delighted to announce the upcoming Alumni Meeting on 30th January 2026 at NCBS. The gathering will be a chance to reconnect, share memories, and celebrate the journeys of our vibrant alumni community. 👉 Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

#LatestPublication Harshith C Y from Shiva prasad's lab identified the role of transcription factor OsWRKY53 that dictates wound responses in rice. It fine-tunes wound responses by turning on defense-related genes while turning down growth-related ones. bit.ly/4ojkJgT

Paper alert! Second first author paper from super talented Harshith C Y now in The Plant Journal OsWRKY53 dictates wound responses in rice through fine-tuning crosstalk between PEP and PSK-mediated signalling - PubMed share.google/UJKJjTMgqfkGfZ…
