In growing crops, ribosomes can use >50% of fertilizers applied to fields. Optimizing ribosomes would make agriculture more sustainable—but there are consequences! Read our perspective on how "ribosomopathies" affect plant development.

Michael's review (with me and Sannidhi Menon contributing) on TOR and growth-defense tradeoffs is online at @JXBot! We somehow managed to get the ligule in there #TeamLigule 🥹🦚🐧.

Congrats to Rachel!! Beautiful, methodical, rigorous work on transcriptional regulation of stress responses in yeast (including regulation of ribosome biogenesis 🧐😎😊). Can't wait to see where Rachel goes next!

[UW-Madison CMB @CMB_UWMadison]

Wishing all the best to Rachel Kocik who will defend her thesis this Thursday, January 9th. 🥳

[Matthew Szarzanowicz @mattszarz]

I am pleased to announce new research from the Shih Lab (@LabShih) published today in Nature Biotechnology on improving Agrobacterium-mediated transformation via binary vector copy number engineering (https://t.co/nCUVQ2ym2p).

PD2024 Conference Dinner at Missouri Botanical Garden. Great time, amazing science and wonderful people! Hope to see you all again in 2027!

[Brunkard Lab @BrunkardLab]

Day three of #PD2024! Started with a beautiful talk from a true leader in our field, @pd_christine, followed by exciting early career talks. Coming up... a tour of @mobotgarden with Toby Kellogg @TheKelloggLab!

[Benitez-Alfonso lab @benitez_lab]

Plasmodesmata conference 2024 in St Louis on the go! A first day full of intriguing / interesting talks left me wanting more!! Great organizers @PD_lab_DDPSC and @BrunkardLab. I am in awe by the work of @GreenMechanobio and @TinaSchreier and amazed @HortenseMoreau More to come!

[Marie Barberon @MarieBarberon]

Getting ready for PD2024 in Saint Louis.

[Brunkard Lab @BrunkardLab]

#PD2024 is off to a great start with talks from Joris Sprakel, Michael Knoblauch, and early career speaker Hortense Moreau! Already learned WAY too much *taking notes*.
