Plants and animals evolve radically different body plans.
Do they also operate under fundamentally different molecular evolutionary constraints during organ formation?

1) chickpea exodermis with me (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)
2) effector-triggered immunity with @dinglab.bsky.social (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)
3) far-red responses with @ronaldpierik.bsky.social.
What a crazy diverse set to see shared biology in! (2/4)
