What if we could deliver guide RNAs by Agroinfiltration and Cas9 by tagging with third alpha helix domain? 🤔

'Root RADAR: how ‘rhizocrine’ signals allow roots to detect and respond to their soil environment and stresses' – Bipin K Pandey et al. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Roots employ several classes of hormones including rhizocrine signals that spend time outside of plant tissues in the rhizosphere. A schematic diagram illustrating (A) a longitudinal cross-section of a root growing in soil, and (B–E) examples of the contrasting modes of action for different hormone classes (denoted as yellow circles) involving (B) autocrine signalling (i.e. acting within the source cell), (C) paracrine signalling (i.e. acting close to the source cell), (D) endocrine signalling (i.e. acting in other organs after long-distance transport), and (E) rhizocrine signalling, where this class of hormone moves outside its root source via the soil (denoted by the blue arrow), returning to the root in response to a soil stress (denoted by the red arrow), triggering an adaptive response, denoted by the green arrow and receptor binding of the hormone signal.

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Our lab's first review article written with @yadhusankar.bsky.social and @vijayalakshmi.bsky.social is out now in The Plant Journal! 🎉🌱

We discuss temporal regulation of (plant) development. When and how do plants control organ and cell identity progression?

A space for time. Exploring temporal regulation of plant development across spatial scales
Developmental timing in plants is tightly regulated at the whole-organism scale, from germination to flowering. Less is known about when and how local transitions are temporally regulated. Not every ...

I'm not alone in joking about R2D2 #auxin sensor :)

P.S. Thank you to @robertboisivonlab.bsky.social for cool auxin perception infographics (boisivonlab.ceitec.cz/handouts/) and to @aribidopsis.bsky.social for the blog post 'R2D2: Auxin marker from Star Wars' (www.aribidopsis.com/2017/12/r2d2...)

What if we could stabilize expression of the RUBY reporter by replacement of P2A linkers just with long GS-linkers❓️ 🤔

The similar, three-enzyme system is well used in base editing: UGI-nCas9-nucleoside deaminase.
