Excited to share the publication of two complementary studies in PNAS on Botrytis cinerea—the fungal pathogen behind gray mold and, as UC Davis recently described it, "the fungus that spoils nearly everything."
1/ Today in @NatureBiotech, we published the first DNA-guided CRISPR that we originally reported in our 2024 preprint for detecting and targeting RNA in cells

#First, first authored research article.Grateful to @NewPhyt for publishing. Manifested it a year ago when I got opportunity to present the same work at #npnextgen 2024 meeting organized by @NewPhyt . Follow the link https://t.co/8OXZzHVn2r. Kudos to @ssinhar and team.
Our latest Plant Physiology paper identified four mutations in DAHP synthases that act synergistically to supercharge the shikimate pathway in BOP grasses, boosting aromatic chemical production. Read more at 🔗 https://t.co/NKxa6hyLVq
We thank support from @NSF PGRP and MCB!
Please share! My lab (https://t.co/z3AX6M3mE6 ) will be recruiting a PhD student via the MPS program at MSU (https://t.co/c3wAvTuGBg) for Fall 2026. Happy to take inquires via email (which can be found in the lab website) if applying this cycle.
Our new study in Nature Plants maps how "multi-tasking" enzymes in plants transfer nitrogen, a key step toward improving crop N use efficiency. Big thanks to collaborators @ Max Planck, Hokkaido Univ, & MSU, and for support from @NSF and @DOE.
