Autophagy acts as a spatial organizer of cell-type-specific plant immunity www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04...

It can promote resistance, susceptibility, or restrict cell death 🤯

So what is its actual role?

We show it acts as a spatial organizer of immunity across cell types 🌱🦠 #proteostasis

Live From Minneapolis (Chiller Mix) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

Bruce and the band opened the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis with the Motown classic "War" and "Born in the U.S.A." — a one-two punch that was live streamed on Bruce's social media for the first time, appearing here with a new audio mix by Chiller Sound.

The first, every day

🧵1/X 🚨New Preprint🚨 Root pathogens are hard to manage, and we know little about plant genes enabling infection (susceptibility genes). Here, we show that SCARs are susceptibility factors in barley roots - and their loss affects pathogens/symbionts in distinct ways www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Busy two weeks. Totally exhausted and happy to go to a beach next.. but early (?) midlife crisis ambition done. On to the next continent

Functional divergence of plant SCAR/WAVE proteins is determined by intrinsically disordered regions Intrinsically disordered regions in SCAR/WAVE proteins drive diverse functions in root hair and leaf trichome development.

Excited to share that our preprint has found a home in Science Advances. We show that intrinsically disordered regions determine the functional diversification of actin-regulatory SCAR proteins in Medicago. 🧵 1/3

A space for time. Exploring temporal regulation of plant development across spatial scales Developmental timing in plants is tightly regulated at the whole-organism scale, from germination to flowering. Less is known about when and how local transitions are temporally regulated. Not every ...

Our lab's first review article written with @yadhusankar.bsky.social and @vijayalakshmi.bsky.social is out now in The Plant Journal! 🎉🌱

We discuss temporal regulation of (plant) development. When and how do plants control organ and cell identity progression?

Tiny horse on my walk with Rad Spring Design

.. perhaps not 'fairly early' 😒

Would be most grateful for any help and offer a free portrait/journal cover painting for your next publication. I'm four for four on the latter

A longshot, but by any chance does anyone have old(ish) copies of TIPS kicking around their departments? Specifically Jan.'22 (pictured). I'm after a copy as I painted the cover. @elsevierconnect.bsky.social want ~350 for one. Of course the thousands we paid for open access doesn't stretch to that

'tis the season I get sheep on my walk home from work

Embolism* I can't spell words like that. It's not like I'm a scientist or something...

Back on it. Four months post-embolysm. A few months to get up for the Munich (half) Marathon

The word 'symposium' comes from a Greek term for a drinking party, should you be looking for a truthful excuse to knock off early.
