What triggers plants to start growing thicker (radial growth)? We discovered that a transient cytokinin response maximum acts as a switch to initiate this process in roots. So proud to share the work I started as an undergrad, now in Nature Plants! 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4147…

Unlike what the textbook or Google Images show you, your mitochondria rarely look like beans. In some cells like skeletal muscles, mitochondria are elongated, branched beauties! Here is one mitochondrion highlighted in green:

TOC33 mediates 1O2-EX1 signaling from the chloroplast to the nucleus. Our coordinated work with Prof. Liangsheng Wang’s group has been accepted in Molecular Plant!! Congratulations!! cell.com/molecular-plan…

My lab's very first manuscripts are out!!! - We identified nearly 60 conserved #RNA structures in plastids - We found that transcriptional response to warm temperatures in whole seedling is confounded by response at organ level #thermomorphogenesis Link to both preprints below

We (and others) observed that whole #seedling DEGs in #thermomorphogenesis are often not reproducible across publications. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

"The day the paper was published should have been a moment of pride. Instead, it felt like a quiet erasure." #ScienceWorkingLife scim.ag/4oPJkeg

STARBURST, a new construct for autobioluminescence, is now available from Addgene.

New research in @JExpBot shows how discoveries in model plants translate to crops! We used CRISPR to edit CEPR1 in barley, confirming root architecture insights from Arabidopsis apply to cereals. To continue the research, first field trial now underway! academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

Exciting to see our protein binder design pipeline BindCraft published in its final form in nature ! This has been an amazing collaborative effort with Lennart, Christian Schellhaas, Sergey Ovchinnikov, Bruno Correia and many other amazing lab members and collaborators. nature.com/articles/s4158…
