It’s that time of the year again so here is a short #Christmas peptide. Codon optimized for plants too, thanks to IDT.

We’re excited to launch an Expression of Interest (EOI) form to allow you to apply for a PhD studentship or postdoctoral researcher position within the Australian Research Council Training Centre in Predictive Breeding. With 40 PhD and postdoc projects available across five Australian

In this work - out in The Plant Journal - we explore use of a ternary vector system and GRF-GIF morphogenic regulators for improved maize transformation and gene editing. In collaboration with Juan M Debernardi UCDavisPlants. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… @PSB_VIB

Higher degree by research students in Australia work full-time hours but receive $11.7k below the minimum wage. The Universities Accord recommended that the higher degree by research stipend should be increased to support junior researchers, we are campaigning for that to happen!

#PAGAustralia2024 was a blast. Thanks to the conference organizers for letting me organizer a workshop on plant biotechnology. Most of all, huge thank you to the speakers Dr. Jian Chen, Dr. Muluneh Oli and Patrick Gong, awesome talks and super interesting research!

There it is, such a HUGE stage Biomolecular Horizons 2024! Hope our recent work on plant genome editing was interesting. It was great to hear so many talks, posters and meet with other researchers! Here comes the next move…

The big move this week? I am excited to have joined Dr Jenny Mortimer Uni of Adelaide as a researcher in the new @Plants4Space centre! Brisbane to Adelaide! Make sure you watch this space 😉

It’s launch day @Plants4Space !!! Truely an interstellar centre and I am excited to be a part of it. So much awesome merch!

Our paper: "A history-dependent integrase recorder of plant gene expression with single-cell resolution" is published in Nature Communications . Congrats Cassandra Maranas for completing this work! Earlham Institute UW Biology To read the paper: rdcu.be/dYxtF nature.com/articles/s4146…

Really interesting and cool findings, definitely reinstate the importance and value of expanding the CRISPR toolkit. A catalog of gene editing sites and genetic variations in editing sites in model organisms link.springer.com/article/10.118…

I am super excited to share our latest preprint on novel agrobacterial strains enabling hyper-efficient transient expression in N. benthamiana and other solanaceous plants! This work is a collaborative effort between my lab, Erh-Min Lai, and Chih-Horng Kuo (郭志鴻)! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Out today in Nature Biotechnology: we call on the global community to modernize plant gene editing regulations on behalf of 16 nations on the forefront of the CRISPR revolution. tinyurl.com/y46wvfe8 A majority of nations still regulate CRISPR crops as GMO, stifling science and

📢Excited to introduce NanoCas -our new mini CRISPR system that can reach tissues previously out of reach! By shrinking CRISPR to 1/3 its normal size, we can now edit genes in muscle, heart & brain that were difficult to access before. Summary & link to paper:
