Here's our new preprint, led by Nicola Trozzi "Puzzle cell shape emerges from the interaction of growth with mechanical constraints" Thanks to Richard Smith Lab 🇺🇦 Adam Runions Roeder lab Lukas Hörmayer @RDPlab and everyone involved! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

News from the @roulinlab! We combined a large-scale #mobilome-seq experiment with population genomics of the wild grass #Brachypodium to test if #TE mobility depends on stress 🦠❄️☔️🔥 This is the birth of #HOPPLA, a #retroTE that jumps in #polIV mutants: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Machine learning analysis of +370K papers in plant sciences reveals the evolution of research trends over the last 50 years biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How do plants stop cytokinesis to build up their communication network? Our paper is out on bioRxiv 👇 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Patrick ZQ. LI 李自强 Hortense Moreau JulesPetit @Caillaud_MC Fèlix Campelo @LBM_Bordeaux

Note: ggPlantmap small update (v1.1). ggPlantmap.to.SVG() converts your ggPlantmap into a SVG file that is compatible with an ePlant EFP pipeline or any graphic software (like powerpoint). The polygons will be grouped based on an assigned column.

Two Brachypodium lateral root primordias hang out in the lab today.

Our review on fluorescent plant cell walls stains is out. Nice work Luca Piccinini and @Fanira1st ! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I have two PhD positions available to join the lab in Neuchâtel! Details here 👉ek96.short.gy/jPKLCA Thanks for sharing!

The auxin efflux carrier PIN1a regulates vascular patterning in cereal roots Fusi et al. 📖 ow.ly/gpza50RoOiW

Happy to share this perspective of the auxin field, written with Jerry Cohen, for the ASPB Centennial. Free link: academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

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…

KIPK and KIPK-LIKE1 suppress overbending during negative hypocotyl gravitropic growth biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

WHAT A JOURNEY UC Berkeley > Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) >Pairwise > NOW CSU Department of Biology I’m officially back to the academic side and home to CO. Can’t wait to re-start my lab this fall at Colorado State Biology! Look out for positions soon. Let’s edit plant development and save the planet.

🌾SAVE THE DATE🌾 International Brachypodium Research Conference 2025 July 6 - 10, 2025 Monte Verità, Switzerland more details on brachypodium2025.org @vermeer_lab @roulinlab and I are most excited to welcome many Brachy and grass enthusiasts to Switzerland in 2025 #Brachy2025

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…

🌾Job Alert🌾 Interested in grass leaves and cell polarity? Looking for a protein biochemistry postdoc (2 years) to employ Co-IP and proximity labelling to identify interactors of polarity proteins. Details here raissiglab.org/wp-content/upl… Related paper here elifesciences.org/articles/79913

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…
