How do we create future climate-resilient crops? 🌱☀️ The Benitez-Alfonso Lab, led by Professor @YoselinBenAlf, carries out cross-disciplinary research into plant cell walls. At our launch event, guests were invited to look at different plant tissues under the microscope 🔬👇

The newest discovery in our robustness research thanks to Dr. Shuyao Kong Shuyao Kong, Mingyuan Zhu, Richard Smith Lab 🇺🇦, David Pan, and Brendan Lane. Tradeoff between speed and robustness in primordium initiation mediated by auxin-CUC1 interaction disq.us/t/4po30i3

Painting by numbers: Flowers like hibiscus use an invisible blueprint early in petal formation that dictates the size of their bullseyes! Awesome work by Lucie Riglet & Edwige Moyroud's Team Hibiscus with modelling by Argyris Zardilis Read Science Advances paper science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I honestly find it difficult to post about our own papers but I’m going to try and do a better job from now on: I’m so happy to see this story out, we started the team at SLCU to try and use gene manipulation in an unusual system with confocal imaging and modelling…1/n

Happy faces gathering to talk about #plantsci! So keen were they to share and discuss plant science research that last night's #SLS24 poster session went on until after 9pm! (without beverages)

Shuyao Kong Shuyao Kong and Mingyuan Zhu Mingyuan Zhu are on a roll! Here is the next installment in our DRMY1 and robustness story. DRMY1 maintains translation and TOR signaling to maintain robustness in the initiation of sepal primordia. Thread 1/5 authors.elsevier.com/a/1joYg5Sx5gxl…

Isabella Burda got the cover! Beautiful!
