For liverwort mavens, I've needed to shift our Marchantia resources to a new website (I've reached retirement from academia in Cambridge) - and the plant synthetic biology stuff has moved to https://www.haseloff-lab.info
(Now have more time for DIY builds! Updates to come)
#single insert transformation. The problem of multiple inserts lies in your T-DNA 😳

Good news to European innovation!
EU Parliament’s ENVI Committee backs new #NGTs rules ahead of plenary vote tomorrow, 17 June.
A clearer framework can support resilient crops, fewer inputs and more sustainable farming🌱

🌱 A big step for plant breeding in Europe
The EU has approved the #NGT Regulation — creating “clear conditions for applying modern breeding approaches”, says our CEO Felix Büchting.
A step towards more resource‑efficient, sustainable agriculture 🌎

In this review, Lakehal et al. chart the evolution of root systems, discussing key
innovations in root morphology and the regulatory mechanisms that enabled land plants
to adapt. They argue that crop ...
Thermo Fisher now has a page up in response to our observations. They flatly deny that images were manipulated or fabricated while repeating that images were "optimized for presentation and clarity on the website", no lie, six times.

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes:
🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting
🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

Marchantia has two RBOHs. Double mutant = disorganized cell mass. Conditional mutant analyses show they are required to sustain morphogenesis via cuticle-cell-wall integrity. Clever study. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
On Wednesday, MEPs are set to adopt new rules facilitating access to new plants that are climate and pest resistant, give higher yields or require fewer pesticides.
