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…
Excited to share our latest review on hydrosignaling: moisture-dependent molecular pathways that help plants grow towards water. Insightful review of the literature and discussion of moisture sensing mechanisms by Will Dwyer and @hhtormar.bsky.social. Enjoy!

Vitrification ❄️🧊 is still a real bottleneck for #TeamTomo. Nice to see this initiative, and I hope some clever new developments are enabled by it 🧪

#PlantScience Preserving, sequencing, and studying wild relatives of crops still very informative and powerful today.

Teosinte alleles enhance nitrogen assimilation and seed protein without lowering crop yield when expressed in modern maize, providing a powerful strategy for crop improvement to meet future population...
New Teaching Tool!
blog.aspb.org/new-teaching...
Check out the latest unit in the Teaching Tools in Plant Biology series, “Genomic Analysis of Botanical Collections: Opportunities and Challenges,” by M. Deglialberti, C. Paleni, F. Fainelli, C. Lambertini, & Silvia Manrique. @tank-silvia.bsky.social
This spring I took over and redesigned the only Gen Ed on plants here #IB103. We walked through every core aspect of plant bio in lectures & labs, but also through art & design. I had a blast, the evaluations are rewarding (4.9/5), the redesign got an award from the college, and a little press too!

A key step in the evolution of the nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis, occurring 100 million years ago, subjected the control of Nodule Inception (NIN) gene expression to a protein complex that reg...
Better vitrification = better cryo-ET.
We've opened an RFA for two-year grants to advance vitrification techniques for biological samples—welcoming applications from researchers in heat transfer, cryogenics, and materials science.

@ghosttrainphoto.bsky.social and I found a perfect spot yesterday to see this amazing horizontal vortex in front of a hailstorm near Wray, Colorado. Click to embiggen, hopefully Bluesky goes full resolution.

Water is the most limiting resource for plant growth and development. Heterogeneity in the environmental distribution of water requires plants to direct root growth toward water and to avoid investing...
