Congrats to Dr. Cantos and Dr. Zhou, the newest PhDs from our lab! 🎉 Amazing work—cheers to your success! @KristianKantos

Congratulations to David on being awarded the @USDA_NIFA Predoctoral Fellowship! His research will focus on "Defining the Roles of RNA Modification Pseudouridine in Plant Abiotic Stress Response." psu.edu/news/research/…

Hey Twitter friends, after [n] years, I’ll be defending my thesis! If you’re interested in learning about G proteins, rice, and drought, this is the event for you. Join me next Friday! @PennStateBio

How do #stomata respond to the environment? @AssmannLab &co analyze CO2-induced stomatal closure using network-based modeling & experiment, showing that feedback loops in a signal transduction network regulate #DecisionMaking in #GuardCells #PLOSBiology plos.io/4blUiAu

Check our new paper! Oryza CLIMtools: A Genome-Environment Association Resource Reveals Adaptive Roles for Heterotrimeric G Proteins in the Regulation of Rice Agronomic Traits by @AnxoFerrero @DaveChakravorty @KirvenKobie ! 🧬🌱

Pleased to share our new article "Flanking Sequence Cotranscriptionally Regulates Twister Ribozyme Activity" out in @BiochemistryACS. Collaboration with @AssmannLab pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Absolutely thrilled to announce that Liam, our exceptional Ph.D. student in Plant Biology, has successfully passed his qualifying exams! 🎉 This marks yet another milestone for our lab.📷 🔬

Congrats to Noah Kinscherf, a Plant Biology Ph.D. student, for passing their qualifying exam! 🥳 @PennStateBio

Congrats to Patrick Freed, BMB senior, who excelled at ECoS SURE symposium @PSUScience @BMB_PSU with his summer research on rice RGA1 gene, mentored by @KristyanKantos . Kudos! 👏

The focus issue in RNA biology we have been working on for the last year is out today in @ThePlantCell. academic.oup.com/plcell/issue/3…. It includes 10 reviews and 7 research articles. Kudos to Nicolas Cinquegrani for the terrific cover artwork inspired by Da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus.

RNA Chemistry meets Plant Biology. Please check out our review of RNA in Plants. Collaboration between the #Assmann and #Bevilacqua labs. academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

Our new review on extra-large G proteins in maize and rice proposes a revised nomenclature for XLG genes. Exciting implications for plant biology and crop science! #XLGs #CRISPR #rice #maize @AssmannLab @PennStateBio

Sally Assmann, Waller Professor of Biology at Pennsylvania State University, will present today's GDCB Seminar ("Heterotrimeric G protein signaling in guard cells") at 1 p.m. in 1414 Molecular Biology Building. gdcb.iastate.edu/gdcb-seminar-h…

Congratulations to Christian F. Cantos, an IRRI scholar and Plant Biology PhD student at Pennsylvania State University (PSU), for winning first place for a poster presentation at the PSU Biology Student Research Showcase 2022. Read more: bit.ly/3Mwnzxt

Congrats, Christian. This project is a collaborative effort between @AssmannLab and Dr. Amelia Henry @irri

A team of graduate students, including Assmann lab's David Yu, summarized the talks on the recent strides in plant RNA research during the 23rd Plant Biology Symposium held at @penn_state. Come check it out! @huckinstitutes @PennStateBio onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pl…

Our summer undergrad researcher, Sarah Polesuk, presented her work on G-protein involvement in stomatal closing at the @PSUScience Summer Research Symposium for ECoS Scholars.

Drop by @meg_sylvia’s poster and learn more about drought-induced RNA structure changes on rice plants! #PlantBiology2022

Inspiring talk by Sarah Assmann at #PlantBiology2022 #aspb Interesting to learn about riboSNitches and I am looking forward to use the CLIMtools!
