🌱💡 Did you know nuclear pores do more than let molecules in & out? Our new study shows they also act as control hubs for pri-miRNA transcription & processing!

Can epigenetic variation drive adaptation in nature? 🌱 A new study shows that gene body DNA methylation polymorphism shapes gene expression, traits, and environmental responses — revealing epigenetics as a force in evolution! https://t.co/9EQtx8cI0Q
💛LoVis4u - a visualisation tool for comparative genomics and sequencing coverage profiles is now published!

I am excited to present TODAY at #EarlyCareerShowcase I'll be sharing the work I did at @TheSainsburyLab with @Frank_Menke@talbotlabTSL on using phosphoproteomics to uncover virulence mechanisms of the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.
Join us! #ISMPMI

"A long-distance inhibitory system regulates haustoria numbers in parasitic plants", our work is now out in
@PNASNews . We propose that parasitic plants count their infection numbers, and dynamically regulate new infections in response. Read all about it:

👉New publication on @NaturePlants 🌱
@JavierPalatnik and his team reveal how miR396 and GRFs control stem cell reconstitution after root tip excision, promoting competence and regulating regeneration speed. #PlantRegeneration#NaturePlants 👉Read more: https://t.co/wuT4VY70oW
We are pleased to share our group’s latest paper, first-authored by @julesbaulies and in collaboration with @meristemania’s lab, deciphering the role of the miR396-GRF system in plant regeneration.

Tomatoes lose their bitterness and toxicity as they ripen thanks to DNA demethylation, the hormone ethylene, and key transcription factors, finds a new @ScienceAdvances study. https://t.co/kJi3ahPKyW
An oomycete effector that induces shade avoidance like growth and suppresses plant defenses targets the AUX/IAA protein IAA11 https://t.co/JLtD2r5wSn #biorxiv_plants
From predoc to postdoc… The legendary Nef @NeftalyCM 🇲🇽 is moving on for some Swiss adventures!
Thank you Nef for all your contributions to @TheSainsburyLab science and way beyond… What a gentleman! #CelebratingAlumni
La FDA ha aprobado Traumagel, un gel de origen vegetal que detiene eficazmente el sangrado y facilita la coagulación natural del cuerpo. Este producto promete ser muy útil en situaciones de emergencia.
New paper alert! @sam_caygill of the @DolanLab reports in @PNASNews the discovery of an alternative metabolic pathway that allows bryophytes to tolerate the herbicide glyphosate. A first step to tackling glyphosate resistance in weeds! Read more: https://t.co/qtzac4T9tn
ALTERED MERISTEM PROGRAM1 impairs RNA silencing by repressing the biogenesis of a subset of inverted repeat–derived siRNAs (Jing Li, Brandon Le, Xufeng Wang, Ye Xu, Suikang Wang, Hao Li, Lei Gao, Beixin Mo, Lin Liu, Xuemei Chen) https://t.co/DjqpyySOfJ @ASPB#PlantSci
New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC@RSocPublishing

Our work on evolution and functional divergence of DNA methyltransferases is out @ScienceAdvances. Kudos to @jiang_jianjun. We revealed how two closely related CMTs evolve and coordinately shape the non-CG methylation landscapes in plants. https://t.co/JRqueNKAgr
A paper in @Nature describes a fossil tadpole from around 161 million years ago, which is the oldest known tadpole reported to date. https://t.co/x4fvENV9PL
