I have long suspected, without analysis to back up the gut feeling, what Hamant lays out here.

Auxin transport streams in the Arabidopsis root affect the length, position, and expansion rate of the growth zone, but to know that, you need something like Patch Track - new kinematic analysis platform. See the paper here: https://t.co/Oq5DxBB6hS

Ming Che earned his PhD in Botany in December 2022. The Plant Journal featured his research on the cover of the latest issue and in a Research Highlight article. https://t.co/lysddjWSuE

LAZY1 raises Arabidopsis shoot branches via gravitropism. Ximing (Ming) Che (PhD '22) showed that BRXL4 physically interacts with LAZY1 to oppose its action - see the opposite phenotypes and their molecular basis in the published paper: https://t.co/0aV5R8ulpA

@SpicyBotrytis I only know that, over the years, some mutants I thought should have a gravitropism defect did not, despite my insistence!

A new paper showing how two QTL studies can be much more useful than the simple sum of their results - thousands of roots performing gravitropism were measured by machine vision https://t.co/RJcRDWvAqS

Maize endosperm composition & quality - predicted. Invert a hyperspectral camera, move it with a motor beneath a plate of glass on which you have scattered maize kernels, process the images with some trained ML algorithms, and voila...High Throughput!

Watch radish seeds imbibe and then germinate - a couple of days in a few seconds

If you change just two amino acids in the LAZY1 protein, the inflorescence stem will grow down instead of up. #reverse_gravitropism

If you ever wondered how much force a maize kernel generates during imbibition, or if the rate of swelling is genetically controlled, or if imbibition rate can be measured automatically and in high throughput, see this paper: https://t.co/xr9EF3qpNp
