@binebrumm.bsky.social, together with @dromius.bsky.social team colleagues, unveiled how key proteins act as 'sculptors' in plant cells, taking on different roles to shape development

Trichomes on an Arabidopsis thaliana leaf (here shown using electron microscopy) are formed by a single cell adopting this spiked shape (top images). Arabidopsis plants without a SCAR/WAVE gene cannot form properly shaped trichomes, because their inner cytoskeleton control is impaired (bottom images). Images by Sabine Brumm.

Stomatal transpiration and rapid programmed cell death ☠️ triggered by lowered ambient humidity causes anther tissue collapse for effective pollen release !

Happy to be part of this great PNAS story with @kampova.bsky.social, Matyáš Fendrych, and @svosolsobe.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The joy of mendelian genetics: white alpine Arabidopsis arenosa made by crossing heterozygotes for my candidate pigmentation gene from a fully pink population.

Finally done with my #pollen composition just in time for #FluorescenceFriday! Each grain imaged separately w #superresolution for red autofluorescence & color-coded for depth 😍

Uggh. I really wish that publishers would not be doing this.
This is in Oncogene.

Can we get one download button for one file containing the article + all supplemental figures and tables, please?

The Cell suite of journals actually does this and it is so lovely.

Screenshot from the website of Oncogene, a scientific journal. It shows "Supplementary Information" and then 9 hyperlinks to Supplementary Figures 1-8 and a Supplementary table.
