The PIN2 ortholog in barley modifies root gravitropism and architecture

PIN-FORMED (PIN2) regulates root system architecture in barley. Gene editing was used to create novel genetic variants. Outcomes show wider root systems without impacting canopy development. In-dept...

Last chance, tomorrow (Thursday June 26) to join a free, online bystander intervention training. It's eye-opening.What do you do when you see bullying or abuse? Maybe your first impulse isn't the best choice - join us to learn how to respond better! rootandshoot.org/bystandertra...

ROOT-SHOOT RCN @root-shoot.bsky.social · May 5

Join us for free, online, Bystander Intervention Training Workshops for plant scientists, presented by ADVANCEGeo Partnership. These interactive workshops help you recognize when & how to step in when you see problematic behavior.
All welcome but space is limited.

🌱😊 Happy to share my N&Vs @plantphys.bsky.social
I highlight a study showing how light modulates leaf expansion by controlling microtubule orientation.
#PlantBiology #CellMorphogenesis #Microtubules #LightSignaling academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...

Guided by light, microtubules choreograph the directional expansion of cotyledons

In 1880, Charles Darwin and his son Francis observed one of the first clues that light can direct plant growth, describing how young plants sense light at
