Fasziation.

Yayoi Kusama in Cologne

Demo in Köln: Jetzt Energiewende verteidigen! Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche (CDU) will die Energiewende abwürgen und uns für Jahrzehnte an Öl und Gas binden. Das trifft uns alle: an der Zapfsäule, bei der Stromrechnung, beim nächsten Extremwetter....

Reiche kettet uns an Öl und Gas – auf Jahrzehnte! Am 18. April demonstrieren wir um 12 Uhr am Heumarkt in Köln: für saubere Energie, gegen fossile Politik. Sei dabei. erneuerbare-energien-verteidigen.de/koeln/

thank you!

Join us as a postdoctoral scientist to work with us and a team of excellent bioinformaticians (Björn Usadel´s Lab) to study barley meristems from all angles.

Imputation integrates single-cell and spatial gene expression data to resolve transcriptional networks in barley shoot meristem development - Nature Plants Spatially resolved gene expression during barley development was done by integrating an scRNA-seq dataset from cells with unknown position with spatial transcriptomics. This dataset is publicly availa...

We recently published a first story on combining spatial and single cell transcriptomics in barley (see here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

Lets go for the next level now, i.e. understanding gene networks and barley meristem development in 4D!

CEPLAS starts a number of new projects, and we are looking for 12 Postdocs ❗
CEPLAS projects are always highly collaborative, that means postdocs working with us will always closely interact with several CEPLAS research groups. Find all postdoc openings here: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...

CEPLAS, the cluster of excellence on plants sciences, is looking for PhD candidates for a number of exciting projects. See below for more info on the topics and on the recruiting process, and here: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...

not the legal way.
Contact the authors, i got a quick positive response.

That would infringe patents. I contacted the authors meanwhile, and they are helpful to find a way how you can use the device.

sorry that was before you mailed to me.
i deleted the post already.

great story!

Plants monitor the integrity of their barrier by sensing gas diffusion - Nature A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and pathogen entry.

How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. @treebiocoe.bsky.social‬ @erc.europa.eu‬ 1/x 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

However, if you cannot get enough of Cereal Stem Cells, join us at a cool conference in charming Regensburg later this year!

Scheme of meristem development in maize embryos, highlighting the expression domains of key regulatory genes.

The Cereal Stem Cell Systems Consortium published a comprehensive review in Plant Cell on how meristems shape cereal architecture.
If you are not a fan of cereals except for breakfast, your teaching will still benefit from the amazing figures!
