Check out this cool new preprint by @willshaw.bsky.social from the Gehring and Khalil labs about the optimization of T-DNA vector backbones to achieve predictable and stable (over)expression in Arabidopsis
Congrats to my former PhD student, @louisefougere.bsky.social, for getting the @sbcf.bsky.social PhD price 2026. Presented at the SBCF general assembly today 😍
1/13 So excited to share our new preprint!! How do organelles pack together in a crowded cytoplasm? we know organelles interact via contact sites, but how does competition for space contribute to organelle morphology and interactions?

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH.
And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you.
A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is the dominant method for plant transgenesis, yet it frequently produces multi-copy, structurally complex T-DNA insertions associated with transgene silencing, u...
