Two firsts... first post on Bluesky and first independently supervised PhD student finished! Congratulations Dr. Müller!
PCA Members are excited to share our new paper, which outlines a roadmap for tracing the origins & diversification of cell types across green plants using single-cell technologies.
From algae to angiosperms, we're entering a new era of comparative cell biology.

So proud to share our latest publication @CellCellPress! Yue Rui reveals that the same enzyme that makes the wall, cellulose synthase complex (CESA), also tethers the plasma membrane to the wall during water-deficit stress, providing resilience. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🌱 Then, let us know through this link if you share the same opinions as the researchers in the exhibition: fopd-utrecht.nl/en/form/
🌱 Could our work matter more? Or more diversely? Let us know!
Fascination of Plants celebration is here!
🌱 Check out all 8 posters of our exhibition through this website. fopd-utrecht.nl/en/exhibitio...
🌱 Can plant research also have other purposes? See what UU Plant researchers honestly think!

This is very cool: a simple statistical test of dysbiosis, or really any microbiome composition data relative to a reference. Outperforms Bray-Curtis and every other metric, while simultaneously being very simple to compute. Probably would work on RNAseq data too.
Amazing place to work, with a research group with good culture doing exciting science. I would recommend!
