This is going to be so exciting! Reach out with ideas! And come find me at ICAR in Singapore to learn more.
The Stanford team hosted a happy hour yesterday to celebrate the preprint! We missed our amazing UD counterparts. What a pleasure to work with longtime friend @kunjapur.bsky.social and his amazing team!
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…
New review out: The Promise of Synthetic Biology for Redesigning Plant Architecture
Great to have worked on this with @suruchiroy.bsky.social and Gerad dos Santos!

If you work with R6K plasmids for transient DNA delivery, our latest SHARK strains might be of use! Work out at ACS Synthetic Biology led by Shivang Joshi and strains plus plasmids for their assembly will be available @addgene.bsky.social very soon! doi.org/10.1021/acss...
Excited to share our new preprint "Genetic code expansion enables plant-directed control of bacterial activity", a fantastic collaboration with @kunjapur.bsky.social lab!

We engineer both plants and bacteria to establish non-standard amino acids as a new molecular language for programming plant-microbe interactions. This work contributes to the growing toolkit for precision agriculture and we hope it accelerates the path to a sustainable future!
