@revealplant Will be a great workshop, and it’s free!

Interested in maize and CRISPR transformation? See flyer below. Fellowships are also available for graduate students!

@VectorBioSpace Wow, congratulations! An exciting move and I am sure you will do fantastic things there!

The Heck Lab is moving south in 2026! I’m honored to be joining Virginia Tech as Director of the School of Plant and Environmental Sciences, where I will also have a faculty appointment. 🌱🧬👩‍🔬 I am grateful for my nearly 20 years of public service with USDA–ARS at Cornell & Boyce Thompson Institute, which shaped my commitment to collaborative research and solutions-driven science. Stay tuned for job announcements & Heck lab updates! news.vt.edu/articles/2025/…

@plantpostdocs @thelma_madzima Congratulations!

Next we have Dr. Penelope Lindsay from Oregons State University! Congratulations Penelope!

Congratulations to the 2025 Sahyadri Outstanding Postdoc Awardees:

Please RT! Exciting opportunities in plant–microbe interactions! My lab @IPMBSinica is looking for passionate postdocs & RAs to join us in one of the following areas: ✨ Cell death & immune signaling 🧬 Discovery of resistance genes 🧫 Development of Agrobacterium-based tools

Plant developmental genes share functions & expression, but align orthologs' promoters and often… no conservation. Or is there? In our new preprint, we show that conservation exists and is ancient, but was just obscured by genome complexity. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

There's still time to register for this exciting Maize Conference in October; great lineup of speakers: ifmb.maizemeeting.com

The International Forum for Maize Bio #IFMB2025 happening this October in Wuhan with myself, Jianbing Yan, and Dave Jackson as chairs. All the corniest science! Please submit abstracts! We will reimburse airfare for some of the selected abstracts as well! ifmb.maizemeeting.com

Excited to share my new Tansley Review @NewPhyt on emerging single-cell and spatial omics technologies, many of which are just beginning to be applied in plant biology! Big opportunities lie ahead for the field. [1/n]  nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Very excited that our work on directional symplastic transport in differentiated root is now published!A developmental switch controls cell-to-cell transport in roots via pectin-linked plasmodesmata changes: Molecular Plant cell.com/molecular-plan…

Please retweet!🚨 We're hiring! 🚨 My lab @IPMBSinica is looking for postdocs and research assistants to join us in studying NLR resistosomes in plant immunity, with opportunities in both fundamental and translational research. 🌱🔬 Learn more: sites.google.com/view/chwlab/ho… or DM me!

恭喜本所吳志航博士(@AdamWu9527)榮升副研究員 Congratulations to Dr. Chih-Hang Wu on his promotion to Associate Research Fellow.

This is why we fund science.

Discovery of a hairy root strain A4 with super efficiency in transient expression in Nb and other Solanaceous plants. Great team work @IPMBSinica led by @AdamWu9527 #AMT #Rhizobium #Agrobacterium

A breakthrough in plant gene delivery by Chih-Hang Wu @AdamWu9527 In collaboration with Erh-Min Lai @erhminlai & Chih-Horng Kuo @ChihHorngKuo Supported by @AcadSinica Grand Challenge Program Newly published in @PlantBiotechJ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb

@Sunil_KumarKR It’s hard to tell from the photos but those leaf flaps remind me a little of hairy sheath frayed, you should talk with Mike Muszynski

Calling maize detectives! 🕵️‍♂️🌽 We’re seeing some intriguing low-frequency phenotypes post-treatment in B73, and cotyledon leaves (not photographed) give knotted1 mutant vibes. Has anyone seen something similar? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🌽🔎

@CSHL @Regeneron Congratulations!

Congrats to Partners for the Future student Keita Takahashi and volunteer intern  Ishana Chadha for being named Scholars in the @Regeneron Science Talent Search! cshl.edu/cshl-high-scho…

The application deadline for admission to the International Master Program in Plant and Microbial Biology (IMPPMB) with National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) has been extended to 20 March 2025. Application Procedure reurl.cc/L5p083

This year’s “Get to Know IPMB” event had the highest student participation ever! We loved sharing our research and labs with so many future scientists. If you’re interested in our summer internship program, stay tuned! More info: internship.ipmb.sinica.edu.tw
