"Plants have a secret language that scientists are only now starting to decipher" - Nature News feature @nature nature.com/articles/d4158… Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can we harness them to create better crops?

Happy to see that our lab’s open-science tool, GScholarLens has been featured by @Nature. Dalmeet Chawla (@DalmeetS) does a fantastic job highlighting how GScholarLens brings transparency to scientific metrics, helping researchers, institutions, and the community better understand research impact based on authorship. By making citation and authorship data open and traceable, the tool aims to reduce the pitfalls of metric-driven evaluation and encourage thoughtful discussion on scientific contributions.

Excited to share our preprint on a function of the Trp-binding pockets of plant ARGONAUTE1 — they facilitate siRNA amplification through GWs in SGS3! So many years of work, so many fantastic people involved — a privilege to work with them all! #RNAi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our step-by-step guide for producing synthetic trans-acting siRNAs (syn-tasiRNAs) for precise RNAi in plants 🌿 Nice @IBMCP team effort 💪 🔗 “Effective Gene Silencing in Plants by syn-tasiRNAs from minimal precursors” @bioprotocolbyte 👉 bio-protocol.org/e5475

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature. His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding". 27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

🌱💡 Did you know nuclear pores do more than let molecules in & out? Our new study shows they also act as control hubs for pri-miRNA transcription & processing! "The nuclear pore complex acts as a hub for pri-miRNA transcription and processing in plants" academic.oup.com/nar/article/53…
