Jess Pritchard produced stable transgenic lines of Kalanchoë laxiflora that luminesce with circadian rhythms of luciferase activity, revealing new insights into the circadian clock control of CAM genes.
Many thanks to @michaelraissig.bsky.social @heikelindner.bsky.social for this brilliant collaboration. They did the elegant and innovative developmental biology and we provided resources and training for the Kalanchoë laxiflora diploid model species: Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
