This is nothing less than a breakthrough. What a phantastic paper. So happy to see it out after five years.

The header of the paper: PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM, Vol. 15. 1962. The title “A Revised Medium for Rapid Growth and Bio Assays with Tobacco Tissue Cultures” is shown, followed by the author’s names Toshio Murashige, Folke Skoog. Their affiliation is Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, 6, Wisconsin. The paper was received for publication on April 1, 1962. To the left of the paper header is a black and white headshot of a smiling Toshia Murashige, and to the right a black and white headshot of a serious looking Folke Skoog.

#PlantScienceClassics #21: MS Medium. In 1962 Toshio Murashige & Folke Skoog published their revised plant tissue culture medium @pplplantarum.bsky.social, arguably the most high-cited #PlantScience paper of all time.

I had Chat GPT write the rejection. Poetic justice.

Obviously. But next time I see a disclaimer like this I will immediately reject - without reading.

So… I‘ve been reviewing this review and it felt like a „weird“ read. I couldn’t understand the rationale and most references were totally outdated and the conclusions trivial. I wonder now… have I been reviewing an AI hallucination? What to do?

The fact that Americans thought Auxin was a “Hoax from Europe” rightfully got some attention in my latest #PlantScienceClassics post. But it’s actually even funnier if you learn about the context & consequence of White speaking these words to Went at the AAAS Meeting in Pittsburgh. #PlantScience 🧪

And, frankly, it should be obvious to everyone…

Must read. As usual.

Thanks to you and the team for making this such an enjoyable event!

Awesome. Thanks

Die Sensation ist perfekt!!! Dominik Krause wird nächster Oberbürgermeister von München. Er löst den sehr autofreundlichen Amtsinhaber Dieter Reiter ab. Krause hatte mit der lebenswerten Stadt geworben, Reiter mit mehr Tempo 50. Glückwunsch an Dominik Krause für diese unglaubliche Aufholjagd💪

Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice.

Awesome story!

Easy. Überall. Immer #Precht

Nice!! Congrats all!

Hey everyone joining us @ #MBP2026 in mid March, we just released the conference program. Please check it out here: syncandshare.lrz.de/dl/fiPnsPinb... we are super excited to see you all soon and to talk 🌱🔬🥼 over 🍻all night long!

What a cool story. Congratulations @proteinmagnus.bsky.social and team

Giving this conference two thumbs up!

This is exactly the view from Freising to Munich...

Nice one! Congrats Henning and team.

Universität in D ist, wenn alle in 1 künstlichen Hyperwettbewerb immense Zeit/Energie/Ressourcen verballern, um ‚exzellent’ zu werden, während man die, die am Limit ihrer Kräfte in Lehre/Forschung/Admin universitären Regelbetrieb so gerade am Laufen halten, ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste zusammenkürzt.

Fig. 1.Screening effect in porous membranes. While two molecules with different shapes (spheres, linear molecules) may have the same hydrodynamic radius and diffuse at the same velocity in water, diffusion through a porous membrane may lead to significant differences in movement up to complete separation.

🔬🚪 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🚪🔬

The movement of molecules through plasmodesmata is dictated by physical principles at the nanoscale. Here, the available experimental methods to detect this flow, and applicable physical laws are evaluated - Vasina et al.

No doubt. The guy is a genius on the court… and a tough fighter.

He‘ll attribute this to his anti vaxxing.
