The last chapter of my dissertation with Dominique Bergmann is now published! In this collaborative project with Renée Dale PhD, Hannah, and Gabriel Amador, we discovered the transition from self-renewing asymmetric cell divisions to stomatal fate is triggered by a cell size threshold

I have never agreed with every single word a politician has said in a speech. Until now.

Great to see potato move into the CRE arena with the new report from the Jiang lab on how an enhancer in the intron of the vacuolar invertase gene controls cold-induced sweeting in potato tubers. A new path towards improving storage life of potatoes! academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

Our paper on the dissection of three light-responsive plant enhancers is out: academic.oup.com/plcell/advance… My favorite finding: the enhancers rely on suboptimal transcription factor binding sites. This is consistent with the beautiful work on animal enhancers from Emma Farley 🇪🇺

New #Preprint out now! (biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…) We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from virus-caused mess! Featuring Anita Bianchi, Roksolana Kobylinska and Victoria Vyboishchikov- my shock VBC student team - Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail 🍝🧵for a summary:

A compilation of some of my freaky Arabidopsis flowers growing in the greenhouse at the moment! 🧵 Let's start with this happy accident: A pink sextuple agamous flower :) Looks like floral primordia began growing in the place of petals. Reminiscent of Ap1 mutants, but it is not.

🎉Happy to share our new paper! Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in transcription factors (TFs) encode for complex binding patterns using diverse sequence grammars and interaction types.

Reproducibly oriented cell divisions pattern the first flat body structures to set up dorsoventrality and de novo meristem formation in Marchantia polymorpha biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

We sequenced 15 sperm samples: one sample from 11 individuals, 2 of whom are monozygotic twins; and 2 individuals donated 2 samples each, at different ages. Our pipeline called 4,460 COs, 1,759 NCOs, 351 complex events and 3,109 events that could not be classified clearly. 4/

Two postdoctoral positions available in my group to investigate centromere structure, function and evolution - please get in touch if you are interested! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47525/ jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47569/

Very cool work from Schneeberger lab - eQTL analysis using single nuclei RNA-Seq of F1 pollen

Preprint! 4 years of work, 9 labs, 402 RNA-seq samples, 22 ferns, #histology and #biochemistry. Outcome: 'Comparative #transcriptomics in #ferns reveals key innovations and divergent #evolution of secondary cell wall' #plantsci biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Out now on biorxiv: We studied the activity of enhancer-blocking insulators in plants and found that they also act as silencers when placed upstream of moderate to weak enhancers. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Many congratulations to Maya Voychek and co. for crafting such a fantastic preprint ( biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ) and for being an outstanding community member, mentor and super mom! 1/2
