Uk-1 - the Arabidopsis accession superstar. ⭐️
After BREVIS RADIX in “Get Shorty” (m.genesdev.cshlp.org/content/18/6/7…) and DANGEROUS MIX 1 in “Dangerous Liaisons” (journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… ), now starring as SUCROSE-PROTON SYMPORTER 8 in “I'm Gonna Git You Sucka”😉:

Our lovely preprint on genetic mapping of a positive biodiversity effect to a single gene is out. Lovely collaboration with Hardtke Lab 🇨🇭, Ulrich Hammes,Bernhard W. Schmid, the Grossniklaus Group Nuno Pires and Pascal Niklaus. And now we deserve a lovely cup of tea.

Congratulations to Yetkin Çaka İnce Johanna Krahmer Mongrand Sébastien Julijana Ivanisevic & many others for this nice paper showing that autophagy can promote growth & the importance of sterol biosynthesis in the process. Updated from our bioRxiv submission

Truly amazing. What does this compare to? Hitting a particular tuna in the ocean with a slingshot from somewhere in the Himalayas? 🤔

Aww thanks Christian! Just to clarify, we're not actually a society journal, but we're published by a not-for-profit publisher (The Company of Biologists) that provides financial support to several societies (like British Society for Developmental Biology) as well as running many other charitable activities.

3 good reasons to publish in Development:
• Society journal launched in 1953 #Classic
• Free unless you want to pay for Open Access during the 6-month embargo period #Value
• A single “status” for submitted manuscripts: “Under Review” #PeaceOfMind

An important implication from the study of PIN structure by the Bjørn Panyella Pedersen & Ulrich Hammes labs: anything that promotes a negative membrane potential (e.g. activates proton pumps) promotes auxin efflux (given permissive PIN phosphorylation). 🤔 #auxin2022

Maybe familiar to colleagues who have attended meetings in Les Diablerets.

Heading back from an exceptionally rich meeting. Right size, smoothly balanced timing of talks and breaks, perfectly organized. Thank you, Maizel Lab & Cie.!

Life quality in Lausanne improved this month. Quelle belle piscine, merci Lausanne - Olympic Capital Canton Vaud !!!

Enjoy access to a Molecular Plant collection on plant single-cell biology, including one review article and eight research/resource articles, collected from papers published between January 2019 and June 2022 Molecular Plant & Plant Communications hubs.li/Q01lhWzs0

Latest work of Antia Rodriguez-Villalon's lab (@ETH_DBIOL) New Phytologist: Bipartite phosphoinositide-dependent modulation of auxin signaling during xylem differentiation in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. Well done

Interesting longer read (in German) on developing sustainable agriculture for extreme environments, highlighting Ben-Gurion University of the Negev as an innovation hotspot.
