This work nicely quantifies a major issue in our universities: "In higher education, administrative costs have risen much faster than instruction and research costs (4). MIT Faculty grew by only 9.2% between 1985 and 2023, while administrative staff grew by 189%." www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very happy to see that SUBER GENE1 (SBG1; At1g52565) is now annotated in TAIR and Aramemnon!
We identified this gene through a GWAS on natural variation in endodermal suberin and had the privilege of naming it.
For those interested, the study can be found here:

Happy to share our new paper in @dev-journal.bsky.social .
This project started while I was at Stanford with @stanfordstomata.bsky.social and was completed at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social by @pablidopsis.bsky.social .

Excited to see our #plantscience review published in @jxbotany.bsky.social! It really captures our lab’s perspective on how plants use spatiotemporal signaling under environmental contexts when floods occur, to coordinate acclimation responses and achieve stress tolerance.

Abstract. Flooding is a major abiotic stress that restricts terrestrial plant growth and survival. A plant tissue’s ability to avoid or sustain critical ox
Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...
This study identifies epidermal patterning factor (EPF)-processing proteinases as the key activators of EPF1 and EPF2 peptides, establishing their proteolytic processing as the critical missing link f...
