A true “lab” story in full bloom:
Jonathan D. G. Jones, Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture 2025, and Caroline Dean, Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture 2020, are more than just partners in life — they’re also partners in discovery.
Jonathan’s pioneering work revealed how plants defend themselves from disease, offering new ways to protect global crops. Caroline uncovered how plants use cold to control flowering time, a breakthrough in understanding how nature adapts to climate and how they “remember” winter.
Two brilliant minds, one shared passion for plant science — and now, two Wolf Prizes under one roof.

Fungal small RNA molecules (sRNAs) can silence plant genes to establish beneficial symbioses. This study by researchers from @unito and @cragenomica explains how: https://t.co/4VCvG4BLhj

All the jerks I’ve encountered in my life share one trait: a lack of empathy.

Happy holiday season
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, @erhminlai, and @ChihHorngKuo!

New Article: "A novel in vivo genome editing doubled haploid system for Zea mays" https://t.co/FMG2s1SbBf
A novel genetic haploid genome doubling method with parthenogenesis and gene editing to produce edited, maternally derived di-haploid progeny.
Before earning her PhD, Carol Greider made her #NobelPrize discovery at age 23. Greider and Elizabeth Blackburn discovered telomerase - an enzyme that creates telomeres, which are protective "caps" at each end of a chromosome.

And with this last RUBY expression experiment, I can confidently say that pCambia2300-RUBYGREEN is ready for use!!!
I just listed the plasmid in my webstore for the low price of $20. Making fresh stabs as we speak. Go support my lab and buy one today!
