Elliot Meyerowitz on plant mechanobiology.

Excited to share our new Cell paper! 🌱 We uncover how a single somatic cell can regenerate into a whole plant through somatic embryogenesis. Grateful to collaborators Prof. Yinghua Su, Prof. Xiansheng Zhang & Dr. Keke Xia. 👉 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Pleased to share our Spotlight article in Developmental Cell: “Decoding plant cell types across species: A blueprint for gene discovery.” Free access for the next 50 days: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lgRH5Sx5g-Z… #PlantBiology #SingleCell

Peat moss (Sphagnum) is a tiny plant with a giant impact - nature’s carbon sponge, water regulator, and a green engineer of entire landscapes.

Super excited to share the news that our BarrierFates consortium got 3M€ funding from NWO XL to study maize root barrier cell types! 🌽🔬 Delighted to embark on this journey with @dorota_kawa @HM_Schneider1 @VVMironova @tuliproot! nwo.nl/en/news/64-mil…

We @RIBESresearch @Radboud_Uni are seeking to strengthen our team in Crop Biotechnology with two new assistant professors. The deadlines are November 3. Please re-share! ru.nl/en/working-at/… ru.nl/en/working-at/…

Plant Science Research Weekly -- Translocation of a chloride channel from the Golgi to the plasma membrane helps plants adapt to salt stress (Nature Comm) @tuliproot (Summary by Yueh Cho @YuehCho1984) buff.ly/3RaWT8N #PlantaePSRW

Exciting journey!

A hallmark of sex is each parent transmits half of their genome through a recombined egg or sperm. What if this was not the case? Check our new paper @NatureGenet where we break this rule via diploid clonal gametes and develop polyploid genome design nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thanks, Massi!

Great #Teamwork! We have uncovered a mechanism of plant adaptation to salt stress involving the NaCl-induced translocation of AtCLCf to the PM, thus facilitating Cl− removal at the roots, and increasing the plant’s salinity tolerance. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Together with @MaastrichtU we @Radboud_Uni are starting a new research-based Graduate programme in Crop Biotechnology and Engineering ru.nl/en/research/re…

It was great to attend the EPS annual meeting again. Lots of interesting science and lovely people. And I was surprised and honored to receive the EPS Spotlight Award. Thanks to @EPSGradSchool for organizing this great meeting!

Thrilled to be in #GreenTE consortium! 🌿 Funded by Dutch NWO Gravitation, with €22.8M for 10 yrs. 🌿 Offering 57 PhD and postdoc positions in bio, physics, chem, & modeling. 🌿 Stay alert for your chance to join us & become the world's best in green (plant) tissue engineering!
