We are very happy to share our new paper about PWO proteins evolution 🤗🌱 This has been a joint effort between our lab and Iva Mozogová's lab led by Ahamed Khan #PlantScience #TansleyReview

Congrats!

Very cool! Didn't know the story behind the art until recently!

Doing very well at its known site at Bowthorpe, Norwich.

Seen on yesterday's bike ride with @vannabartlett.bsky.social.

The flowers were being visited by Early Bumblebees, Bombus pratorum.

I need a bryozoan cyphonautes expert! I’m stuck on a regularly appearing cyphonautes and comparative photos on the internet are lacking. If I can ID it, I can get some photos out there! #marineplankton

is this a new record ??

I wrote an essay. It’s about gain-of-function mutations. And penguins. Also ion channels, chihuahuas, the film Alien, recycled cardboard, and the Apollonian mind. Oh, and muffins.

A H3K27me3 reader complex couples H3K27me3 accumulation to nascent transcription of transposable elements in Paramecium - Genome Biology Background The ability to deposit histone H3K27-trimethyl (me3) marks is essential for transcriptional repression by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). This is largely attributed to Polycomb repres...

Women in plant science around the world The article series ‘Women in plant science around the world’ marks the 30th anniversary of Trends in Plant Science, a milestone that invites us to reflect on three decades of shared discoveries, international collaborations, and the diverse voices that propel the field forward. By centring 30 of our women authors from 30 countries, we honour the global community that continues to advance plant science, and we hope to inspire the next generation of women researchers, as well as researchers from other still underrepresented groups in plant science.

Cool stuff, congrats!

New preprint out! 🚀

We mapped how septins organise infection in the rice blast fungus—and found they are far more dynamic than previously thought.

A new study from our group, led by Iris Eisermann, of the septin interactome during appressorium development, revealing many new interactors and significantly widening the biological function of septins in fungal pathogenesis. 👇

Happy 30th birthday to this paper published March 22, 1996, one of the studies that moved chromatin biology from correlation toward mechanism. Brownell et al. linked a transcription-associated Tetrahymena HAT to yeast Gcn5p, providing a biochemical link for chromatin modification to gene activation.

Congrats Camilla!
