Very excited to finally share my PhD paper, about advancing #chloroplast #synbio through high-throughput plastome engineering of #Chlamydomonas. Huge thanks to the whole team! nature.com/articles/s4147…

🚨 New in Developmental Cell Developmental Cell Our team uncovered how plants sense phosphorus deficiency and delay flowering — a molecular “switch” that links nutrient stress to development. A step toward breeding nutrient-smart crops! authors.elsevier.com/a/1m2id5Sx5g-a… MSU Plant Resilience Institute @msupri.bsky.social MSU AgBioResearch MSU-PSM Department

🚨📰New paper from the SSB Group, out in Algal Research! Razan Yahya Gordon Wellman Sebastian Overmans, PhD engineered Chlamydomonas 🦠 to make isoprene - then, used 20 parallel bioreactors 💡🧪 coupled to multi-port headspace analysis (Hiden Analytical Ltd) to optimize it!

IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between q.e.d Science & openrxiv bioRxiv! Let's go back to concentrating on making discoveries, and not on “getting published”, because it’s not going to matter soon, when feedback & evaluation are detached from

Another great collaboration with Nemanja Vukašinović and Trevor Nolan where we give our view on how brassinosteroid research can pave the way to precision plant engineering science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🌱🌱🌱

How is epigenetic information inherited? We found that CDCA7 proteins are critical players in the inheritance of DNA methylation at CG sites in plants, and this is true both in the lab and in the wild. How does this work? 🧵👇

Congrats, Momoko Momoko Ikeuchi and all! Excited to see how former Torii Lab postdoc's work unfolded the mutual inhibitory mechanism bet/w EPFL2 peptide hormone & auxin underpins the intervals of auxin maxima Nature Communications 🪴 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our new discovery that bacteria utilize extracellular vesicles to deliver RNAs into fungi substantially broadens the paradigm of Cross-Kingdom RNA communication! Big congrats to ⁦Jonatan Niño Sanchez⁩, ⁦Huaitong Wu⁩ and all! Thanks for your hard work! cell.com/molecular-plan…

1/n Metagenomics lets us read microbiomes in nature without cultivation, but writing (editing) them in their native context is still a major challenge. Meet MetaEdit: a platform for pathway-scale metagenomic editing inside the gut microbiome. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New OA Article: "Mitotic entry is controlled by the plant-specific phosphatase BSL1 and cyclin-dependent kinase B" rdcu.be/eP4hb "Here we show that the BSL1 phosphatase dephosphorylates CDKB1 to promote mitotic entry in Chlamydomonas."

Oh look, we did something cool with algae and found something neat out about their metabolism;) This work is by Mauricio_M 1st Auth, collaboration from Mike Fox CoreLabs and AzCATI (Prof. Lammers). Thanks to Mars, Incorporated for the chocolate waste!

How can the same "master regulatory" protein mTOR recognize different sets of targets to separate nutrient and growth factor signals? Thrilled to share our new paper, in which we reveal how mTORC2 recognizes Akt. 🧵 on our new paper in Science: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Great work by Mauricio LPM et al. (2025) on how elevated CO2 (3%) stimulates efficient organic-carbon uptake in the #extremophilic red alga #Galdieria. Interestingly, G. yellowstonensis 5587.1 was able to eat "chocolate waste" and generate a thermostable C-phycocyanin 🔵. #SSBlab
