It can be argued that the data here show a university higher science degree training system working just as intended, i.e., ppl get an advanced degree, typically involving publication, then leave to work in other sectors where publication is not involved. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Eduroam? In a remote shuttle bus? Well, thank you 🙏🏼!

Finally out: many years of excellent work by @Mich_aelFuchs doing imaging and quantification in collaboration with Mathematicians Thomas Stiehl and Anna Marciniak-Czochra on modeling. Exciting news on plant stem cell induction- thanks to all authors!

Thank you very much for the generous hospitality Keiji NAKAJIMA ! 🙏🏼 I certainly got inspired 💡 by the exceptional Plant Science at NAIST (English) and its beautiful campus 🌳

Great to see BAR reach 20 years of making connections for plant science researchers. Congrats Nicholas Provart @bar-plantbio.bsky.social and the team. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Paradoxes lingering around our lab ever since we started working on CLE peptide signaling finally resolved, genetically 🫛🫛🫛🥕: One type of CLE signaling must be dialed down so that another type can drive root phloem initiation and differentiation! ⚖️ nature.com/articles/s4147…

New Article: "Antagonistic CLE peptide pathways shape root meristem tissue patterning" rdcu.be/dYDmf The activity of antagonistic CLE peptide pathways intersects to produce and specify different tissue layers in the Arabidopsis root tip.

Congratulations to our very own Hang! An intriguing story from his M.Sc. work out now in Developmental Cell : cell.com/developmental-…

It is out! We identified the stem cell factors of the vascular cambium. This work is a result of fruitful collaboration with Kirsten ten Tusscher and @peter_etchells labs.

In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹 Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)

A fantastic example of how a developmental novelty emerged from the connection of preexisting genetic circuits is now published in Developmental Cell. This work is primarily from Anna Solé’s PhD thesis and led by my colleagues IBMCP - Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular Miguel Blázquez and Javi Agustí (@agusti_lab). 👇

OPS family genes are rather important for plant growth and development: academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

Amazing talk by Christian Hardtke Hardtke Lab 🇨🇭 on phloem development during his sabbatical at #UPSC! We are thrilled to have you with us! 🌱

A brief report from our lab in Plant Cell Physiology (not yet typeset); “Extracellular pH, cell length and cell differentiation do not firmly correlate across Arabidopsis root tissues” based on the differentiation marker MINIYO and the pH sensor Apo-acidin4. academic.oup.com/pcp/advance-ar…

Now available as typeset corrected proof : academic.oup.com/pcp/advance-ar…

Latest from our lab: We discovered a nontranscriptional incoherent feedforward loop in a receptor kinase signaling pathway, with the translational control of a signal amplifier at its core. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
