The final version of our Marchantia cell cycle paper is now published. A much improved version compared to the preprint. Cyclins, repressors, and more. Thanks to co-authors and reviewers. #PlantScience. academic.oup.com/plcell/advan...

Moss Produces Human Collagen for Skincare
Unlike bacteria or yeast, #moss can produce large polypeptides of human collagen along with the post-translational modifications that make it stable and bioactive.

Kenya and Zimbabwe are among the first African countries to offer #lenacapavir, a game-changing #HIV prevention injection that's shown 100% efficacy 💉. You only need it twice a year. Kenya is already giving it out free at public clinics 🇰🇪, while Zimbabwe is rolling it out across 24 sites 🇿🇼.
We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the support of our institutional subscribers, all Royal Society subscription journals will be open access in 2026 through #S2O. Researchers can read all articles and publish #OpenAccess in our eight subscription journals for free buff.ly/4Lu9VpW

It is my pleasure to share:
"Stepwise evolution of the developmental and symbiotic functions of DELLA in land plants"
Here we investigated the role of the single GRAS transcription factor DELLA in #MyMarchantia

Plants use cell-surface and intracellular receptors that collaborate to detect pathogens🦠. We discovered that a key #ubiquitin recognition event recruits both receptor types into an unexpected dual receptor complex that boost the translation of defence proteins and establishes robust #PlantImmunity👇🏾

This is a very special paper for me. I had the idea of combining transcription factor binding with chromatin in 2016/8. It took some time, but thanks to Fred and Vikas, we can finally share the story in @plos.org Genetics looking at chromatin states in Arabidopsis and Marchantia. #PlantScience
The graphic has a faded background image of hands scooping up a seedling in the dirt with the Plant Resilience Institute logo in the top left corner. In a green gradient arrow, there is text that says, “Now Hiring: Howe Lab Postdoctoral Researcher.” In the bottom right corner, there is the MSU PRI logo and the text, “Apply online at careers.msu.edu.”
We're growing our research team! The MSU Plant Resilience institute is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join the Howe lab and lead a project investigating a newly emerging class of plant regulatory metabolites.

Happy to share the pre-print on GEMMIFER, a novel ERF required for the initiation of gemma in Marchantia. One of the coolest phenotypes that I have ever seen. Congratulations to Yuki and Go, who led this research. #PlantScience @biorxiv-plants.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
We're looking for a postdoc to join us in trying to map the routes by which different signals travel through plants and identify what information they carry. Link👇or get in touch! @johninnescentre.bsky.social

Check out our new story on the famous rice Pik NLR pair, led by @clemmar.bsky.social and @hsuanpai.bsky.social! Turns out they form a massive 1 MDa membrane-associated complex before activation 🤯
A cool new example of the diversity of NLR resting states!
