Many congrats to Akira @Docbenitake!

RLKs and RLCKs have undergone repeated diversification throughout plant evolution, contributing to their roles across a wide range of biological processes. We propose several mechanisms through which new receptors and signaling pathways may evolve.

🌿 New paper from the lab out in @NaturePlants! We built a single-cell atlas of Arabidopsis leaf development to ask: how does drought reshape leaf gene expression at the cellular level? doi.org/10.1038/s41477… 🧵

📣Our paper is finally out!🤩 We found that local modification of H3K9me3 using CRISPR/dCas9 at hotspots changes crossover activity, bringing us closer to targeted recombination in plants.🌱 Huge thanks to @SzymanskaLejman, Wojtek, Ania, and Karolina!💪 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

基礎研究はすぐには役に立たないかもしれない、でも未来を支える大切な活動です。この度、ワクワクする2つの基礎研究を支援するクラファンに挑戦します。テーマは①植物の生存戦略と②デンキウナギの発電器官です。日本の基礎研究を守るため、ぜひ応援・拡散をお願いします。

🌲 BREAKTHROUGH: 40× efficiency boost in conifer genetic transformation! New root-based system from Beijing Forestry University eliminates sterile tissue culture + works in soil. ~8% transformation rate — the highest reported for conifers. Validated across 11 species including ginkgo, orchid, cucumber & rose. 📄 Prof. Niu et al. in Plant Biotechnology Journal Read the full study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb… #PlantBiotech #Conifers #ForestGenomics #PlantScience

Our new paper! @PNASNews, 1/17 Healing isn’t about eliminating stress- it’s about regulating it. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… Work led by @ganguly_akansha reveals how plants carefully manage wound-induced stress (ROS) at the cellular level to activate organ regeneration.
