New review of plasmodesmatal auxin movement from Leyser lab member @apaterliny

[Leyser Lab @LeyserLab]

I think all Leyser Lab members past and present would echo this sentiment. We wish her all the best and we know she’ll do brilliantly in this new role.

[Sally Ward 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @SLCUSally]

@Cambridge_Uni @OttolineLeyser @UKRI_News @slcuplants @ClareCollege A very worthy choice for this role, she will do a superb job. Ottoline has been my employer, mentor, supervisor and more importantly friend for 18 years now and I will miss her but am proud to have had the opportunity to learn from her. I wish her all the best in her new role.

Ever wondered how cytokinin affects branching in Arabidopsis shoots? New paper from @tanyawaldie & @OttolineLeyser suggests multiple pathways & differences to canonical cytokinin signalling in roots https://t.co/243H0EWrvz (spoiler alert: auxin and PIN proteins play a role).
