Today, @VolcaniInstitute and @HUJIAgri hosted the @WolfPrize ceremony. A special moment was Sigal’s moving tribute to Joanne Chory, the 2024 Wolf Prize laureate. Though she passed away before receiving the prize, her legacy lives on. 🌱🏆
Thrilled to share that our paper is now online in @PlantPhys 🌱 🍅

A new preprint!
Inspired by Kleiber's law, we show how growth rate scales with biomass in wheat, and how this scaling connects resource use to reproduction and grain yield in diverse environments.

Genetic variance is vital for breeding programs and mutant screening, yet traditional mutagenesis methods wrestle with genetic redundancy and a lack of specificity in gene targeting. Here the authors ...
Finally, we examined the shade response across aerial organs in tomato and found that SlPIF mediates it in all tested tissues.
Thanks to Prof. Nicholas Provart @bar-plantbio.bsky.social and his team this data will soon be available in the tomato eFP browser. bar.utoronto.ca/efp_tomato/c...
