The best part of preparing a digram is testing the colour scheme!

I'll be posting a Patreon post later today, but while I was writing it, I realised that I needed to produce an additional diagram because.... not many people seem to know how #Ginkgo actually grows!!!
Anyway, here's that diagram:
Ginkgo long shoot development.

A diagram showing the growth of a Ginkgo biloba long shoot with various stages illustrated in a simplified slightly stylised manner.

“For each one of you that dies,
two shall take its place.”

Cut away dried-out roses - and their lateral shoots emerged with new buds 😳

How can we better understand the plant immune system? In my new @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social piece, I propose “immune cell states” as a framework for uniting molecular and cellular perspectives.

🪼 How did the animal body plan evolve?

This ‘fundamental’ study in Clytia sheds light on how Wnt3 coordinates both gene expression and planar cell polarity during axis formation, offering key insights into the origins of morphogenesis.

There’s a famous chart from the Conservation Research Institute, which demonstrates this. GAZE UPON THESE ROOTS, YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR.

A chart showing bigass roots on a whole bunch of plants.

Thrilled to share our latest preprint! This work started during my PhD and was finished together with @jmadhuprakash.bsky.social. We found a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector that bridges a host TOL protein to activated NLRs to suppress immunity!

Hot off the printer!

Our lab will be introducing PHYTOMap to the MPMI community. Interested in spatially mapping both microbiomes and plant gene expression? Come see our posters at #2025ISMPMI

2/ We used a poster about scale along with a giant tomato plant & aphid all designed by @hsuanpai.bsky.social to immerse kids into the world of plants and plant-pathogen interactions 🌿🦠

After meeting our giant aphid 🪲 they got to hunt the mini real-life versions on the tomato plant 🍅
