I'm thrilled to share our 8-year effort nature describing disease resistant wheat without yield penalties! We use multiplex genome editing to create a 304-kilobase pair deletion, which revealed a novel relationship between disease resistance and growth. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Have a look at the amazing commentary article doi.org/10.1111/nph.18… by Dr. Scott Finlayson on our recent work on role of sugars in shoot branching regulation doi.org/10.1111/nph.17…

Our work is on bioRxiv ! Strigolactones function as chemoattractants inducing tropism in Orobanchaceae parasitic plants. alex Dave Nelson Shirasu Lab@RIKEN biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally, the cover is here!!! We have translated the works of Sir J. C. Bose from original Bangla. It was an awesome collaboration with Saawan Kr Bag. 🤟 The book is being published by Prabhat Prakashan. Shekhar Mande Ashutosh Sharma Hasan Jawaid Khan CSIR, India Indian National Young Academy of Sciences (INYAS) Feeling Excited!! 🤟🌷

Our new paper ⁦Nature Plants⁩ is out! We combined structure function approaches & CRISPR editing in plants to elucidate the conformational switch of MAX2 #ubiquitin ligase in #strigolactone path & we found a primary metabolite that unlocks the ligase nature.com/articles/s4147…

This is where I belong.

We are hiring!!! If you are interested in plant success and the underlying gene regulatory networks, come and work with the fabulous ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success with CI Steven smith, AI @mikecharleston (and me!) 🍃🌱📊👩‍💻careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/497476/…

We continue our Q&A series with Dr Franziska Fichtner. She shares some of her adventures as a German researcher in Oz, and discusses future plans for her soon to be launched junior group. Read Haim Treves's interview here 🌱➡️ bit.ly/3ydogWY Franziska Fichtner SEB @sebiology.bsky.social

Fully funded PhD scholarship in Australia to investigate the use of genomic prediction for lodging in sorghum. This project will integrate GP, physiology, HTP phenotyping and crop modelling supervised by myself Mark Cooper Graeme Hammer and Emma Mace graduate-school.uq.edu.au/project/genomi…

Meet Francois Barbier Francois Barbier, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the UQ Science Node of CoE Plant Success. Francois is researching the sugar signalling mechanisms involved in controlling shoot branching and how molecular components interact with hormones to trigger branching🌱

Roots or shoots? Scientists found a molecular switch that triggers modifications to plant structure in response to environmental conditions. The work could help minimize destructive parasitism, promote symbiotic relationships, and improve nutrient uptake. als.lbl.gov/molecular-swit…

Can #weekend catch-up #sleep completely erase the bad effects of sleep loss during the week? This 2019 Current Biology paper from Prof. Ken Wright says NO. Our body and mind still feel the weekdays' sleep debt and continue to disrupt our #metabolism. reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/…

Plant Direct Journal ASPB @wileyplantsci SEB @sebiology.bsky.social This was a great collaboration between the Salk Institute and RIKEN. Many thanks to the staff at AdvancedLightSource where we collected the X-ray data. For those interested, please watch this video abstract.
