At what time, doing what, do you find yourself getting new ideas?

CONSTANS-LIKE 5 facilitates flower opening and scent biosynthesis in Solanaceae Flowers use an internal clock to open and release scent at specific times of the day, and a shared regulator coordinates these behaviors in tobacco and pet

I’m trying to make GR inducible protein expressed natively. I’ve made C & N terminal versions. Instead of using a genomic fragment with promoter to last aa, I used a 4kb promoter fragment and the CDS. I’m concerned that omitting intronic sequences will result in low expression. Thoughts?

Today I’m back-crossing M3 suppressor mutants to the parental line and col-0 for a forward genetics screen. I’ve realized forward genetics screens are a great tool for teaching undergrads genetics.

A multisensor high-temperature signaling framework for triggering daytime thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis - Nature Communications Plants encounter high temperatures concomitantly with intense sunlight during the daytime. Here, the authors reveal a concerted chloroplast and nucleus high-temperature signaling framework that gates ...

Further evidence that sugar in the plates changes the plant biology you study. Best to avoid putting sugar in the agar, unless you want to study what sugar in the agar does to plants. This paper uses sugar in the agar to study what sugar does. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #plantresearch

Found this in the breakroom today. Succulents always find a way.

Spatial cell clusters based on the expression of 99 genes analyzed by smFISH at three stages of wheat spike development.

Expression profiles of genes differentially expressed during spikelet development.

We’re excited to share our new preprint on wheat spike development! We used spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq to take a closer look at the different cell types and expression domains during key developmental stages of the wheat spike. Check it out here:
