In our new study led by @molivarina we found an unanticipated layer of cell identity in the plant root. A subset of cells in every cell type shares a common environment-responsive state, and their frequency shifts with conditions such as water availability https://t.co/yX6yi5OCZi
If you were at Clock Club at the John Innes Centre in Norwich this week, you might have caught Ant Dodd introducing the first of our 2027 symposia: Biological timing in photosynthetic organisms! #49NPS

Our new paper in PNAS reports the presence of Na+ and Li+ #aptamer RNAs in mammals. The latter hints at natural roles for #lithium in humans and provides direct links to #BipolarDisorder. Now seeking funding to study Li+ biology and create new therapeutics.
By training an AI model using 153,208 plasmids from Addgene, Shao et al.’s PlasmidGPT can annotate and classify existing plasmids as well as generate new functional plasmid sequences from DNA “prompts”. https://t.co/rOvPhNBAGT
Thrilled to share our new work by former student Soyoung Jung, w/ Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center! By engineering soybeans for betalains (natural red dyes), we opened the door for a cost-effective, sustainable replacement for synthetic Red #3 & #40. 🔗 https://t.co/CS73zeW3oA
The 'heart' of the #Mycorrhiza#fungi#symbiosis is the arbuscule where plant and fungus exchange nutrients and carbon.
Try the arbuscule growth simulator. Let me know how you adjust parameters to get the most beautiful arbuscules.

New Article: "GWAS reveal SUBER GENE1-mediated suberization via type one phosphatases" https://t.co/KoIy6GUEo1
A genetic screen across Arabidopsis accessions identifies SBG1 as a regulator of root abscisic acid response and endodermal suberin deposition via type 1 phosphatases.
Interesting read!
Plant–fungi interactions in Marchantia polymorpha are associated with horizontal gene transfer and terpene metabolism

it’s out! excited to see copies of new textbook and it was a pleasure to work with great co-authors. Particular thanks to Alison Smith who led (dragged?) us all over the line to complete the project!
