Marchantia gemmaling grown under UV-B
Our work on UV-B perception and signaling in #Marchantia is now out in @plantphys.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1093/plph... Thanks to all authors @yuankeliang.bsky.social @romanulm.bsky.social @grandpahiro.bsky.social #PlantScience
Fig. 3.Proposed model for the roles of the equilibrium between phytocystatins and their target cysteine proteases. The double-headed arrow indicates that the relationship between phytocystatins and their target cysteine proteases is a dynamic equilibrium process. The light green box represents the roles of the equilibrium between phytocystatins and their cysteine proteases, which have been reported in previous studies, and the dark green ellipse represents the roles revealed in the present study.

Congratulations @yuankeliang.bsky.social 🎉@romanulm.bsky.social and all other involved
This seems like a personal attack.
YES, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA!!!

A surge of new data centers is reshaping local energy grids, water systems and land use.
This rapid expansion is often happening with limited public information about the long-term impacts — or benefits — new data centers could bring. Learn more👉 go.wri.org/data-centers...

I learned a new word today and I wish to add this to my bioengineering toolbox. Quiet beauty is all around us, and we are not here for very long, so go into nature as often as you can. Awe is in short supply, but ample if you look close.
Things are not okay.

Our Review "Development, Anatomy and Integrated Function of Grass Leaf Veins and Graminoid Stomata" is out doi.org/10.1146/annu...
Alec Baird and I discuss the development and function of the anatomical structures that regulate water supply (leaf veins) and water demand (stomata) in the grass leaf.
Impressive work from @saschalaubinger.bsky.social and colleagues, describing molecular and phenotypic footprints of climate in transcriptomes of native Arabidopsis thaliana.

Painting featuring a basket of plumbs on a table surface in a dark interior
Louise Moillon (c. 1610–1696) French painter in the Baroque era. One of the best still life painters of her time, she was trained by her father as she was unable to attend academies as a woman- who were thought to lack the ability required for artists #WomensArt

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Four paintings in vivid colours featuring a pumpkin created with dots against a brightly coloured background
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has said that her pumpkins act as self-portraits. The idea began as her parents owned a plant nursery and she has described the pumpkin as “a spiritual home,” a form in which she sees herself reflected #Womensart
Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
On #WorldPulsesDay, we celebrate beans, lentils, chickpeas & peas, crops that nourish people & soils.🫘
Through the International Plant Treaty, their genetic diversity is shared globally to support resilient crops and food security.

Happy World Pulses Day!
Celebrate in style by banging in some beans, lentils, or chickpeas to your lunch and dinner.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
