Join us at Plasmodesmata 2024, the meeting is shaping up to be very exciting: plasmodesmata.genetics.wisc.edu Early bird registration is extended through July 21st! Many travel awards available for early career researchers, supported by NSF, USDA, and others!

#MeetTheEditor🌟Meet Dr. Elena Baena-González, from the University of Oxford, UK. Her lab tries to understand how plants sense the levels of available nutrients and how they use that information to modify their physiology, growth, and development 👉biology.ox.ac.uk/people/elena-b…

We used the compact genome of Marchantia to identify a new regulator of chloroplasts. Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The Morris lab have done a re-analysis of mobile mRNA datasets and discovered that most pipelines identify mobility based on SNP frequencies that fall beneath sequencing error rates. This is an incredibly important read if you are interested in long-distance mRNA mobility!

Excited to share a new paper from the CRISPR team in the Jacobsen, Doudna, and Banfield labs on viral delivery of TnpB and wRNA for transgene free germline editing in plants. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very nice! Eftychis Frangedakis

🚀Exciting news! I'm thrilled to share my first preprint as a post-doc at Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU). We used snRNA-seq to capture, for the first time, the transcriptome of dissected wild-type shoot apical meristems (SAM) in Arabidopsis thaliana at the single-cell level. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Are you interested in Plant Development? Our group at Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CSIC) is looking for a motivated student to carry out a PhD project investigating the molecular mechanisms controlling plant shoot branching, a process with great agricultural impact. Write to me or to Michael Nicolas

Absolutely delighted to share that I have been awarded an #ERCStG! In maxSYMize, we will explore how plants regulate carbon allocation to beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, and whether we can optimize carbon delivery for enhanced symbiotic benefits. Department of Plant Sciences Cambridge University

Congratulations to Leonie Luginbuehl on receiving an #ERCStG for her project maxSYMize. The grant will support her research on harnessing mechanisms for plant carbon delivery to symbiotic soil fungi for sustainable food production. 👉 tinyurl.com/yc4uac89 #PlantsAtCambridge
