Further evidence that sugar in the plates changes the plant biology you study. Best to avoid putting sugar in the agar, unless you want to study what sugar in the agar does to plants. This paper uses sugar in the agar to study what sugar does. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #plantresearch
A multisensor high-temperature signaling framework for triggering daytime thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis - Nature Communications

Using sexual reproduction markers identified from scRNA data, Arthur Cleyman developed new tools to transform Cylindrotheca closterium and make “pheromone sensing” lines. Cool 😎 #MLD8 @gustbilcke.bsky.social

Starting the scientific program of #ICAR2025 with an amazing keynote by Jane Parker @parkergroup.bsky.social on the structural basis of plant immunity! Looking forward to 5 days of fantastic Arabidopsis and plant science at the #Bijlokesite in Ghent!

🧬🌱 EXPERT VIEW 🌱🧬

'Intrinsic cues guiding changes in division orientation in the Arabidopsis root meristem: a formative experience' - Konstantinova et al. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Schematic representation of a longitudinal section of the juvenile root meristem and the regulatory networks controlling changes in division orientation. In the epidermis/lateral root cap (LRC), the SMB–FEZ pathway is responsible for regulating the division guiding changes in division orientation that generate the epidermis and LRC. In the ground tissue, the SHR–SCR module guides the changes in division orientation that generate the cortex and endodermal tissues. In the vascular tissue, the TMO5/LHW–DOF2.1 module and, more specifically in the phloem, PEAR transcription factors, drive oriented divisions that regulate vascular proliferation. Inset: developmental trajectories for the various cell types found in the root meristem, beginning from the quiescent centre (QC) in the centre and ending outermost with the final forms.

In our last work that is just out in @newphyt.bsky.social we use a transcription inhibitor to improve the detection of mild drought stress responses in scRNA-seq. Browsable dataset on www.single-cell.be/plant/leaf-drought . Thanks to Ruben Tenorio Berrio and collaborators for the exciting collab!
