Since I became an editor I have stopped submitting manuscripts in December.
it's starting to look like Christmas🎄

I would like to express a recombinase in the germ line of #Arabidopsis for a short time. Can somebody recommend a promoter? Egg cell might make most sense? Needs to be weak as I am looking for incomplete recombination #plantscience #generegulation

Hi Bluesky community! 👋

Are you looking forward to 2025 as much as we are? 👀

We just updated our 2025 Annual Poster to include even more events for you to join, so go and have a look!

This conference looks like a fabulous opportunity to rethink concepts. I’d be most interested in the role of noise in regulation. Alas I am teaching.
(1/3) Ever wonder if there is anything in common between people studying #plasticity, #variability, #robustness, #bethedging, #variance, error-prone #molecularmechanisms? Might we all be thinking about different manifestations of Biological Noise? @official-smbe.bsky.social @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social

Everyone is talking about how science bluesky is taking off. So I am back on social media.

Also, maybe not quite coincidentally, I am also back in other ways. Just got notice that our Future proofing plants application was funded by @dfgpublic.bsky.social

Are you kidding me? What a cool tool. I can think of four running projects in which we could use this. Quite amazing!
🧪Very cool new “reference free” sequence data analysis algorithm from Julia Salzman’s lab, SPLASH.. I’m a fan of 2C. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

This is the “great hall” of my university. All our buildings here have a central connection. I love watching the hussle and bussle here

I am just out of my lecture for first years. They are a delight. I love my job. (admin work in twenty minutes)

Boron response in oilseed rape. The connection to defense responses surprised me. I’d shed my flowers, too, if I thought they carried a pathogen.
This one took a long time, very proud that Bart Verwaaijen saw it through! Great collab with the Bienert lab.

@donat.bsky.social handed his thesis in. The last one of the first round of PhDs to hand in. A few more papers to go. And then I only see them at conferences and - hopefully - reunions.

Onwards!

Fabulous work! A highland teosinthe introgression. I’d never guessed that. I especially like the ancient sample data addition. (And the structured abstract is really easy to read and understand, so I highly recommend opening the link posted below).
The origins of maize were the subject of controversy for well over a century. Even in the 1950's botanists like Edgar Anderson weren't totally sure what continent it came from!

We published today a new model for maize origins (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). Let me tell you how we got here. 1/

I just finished a galley of THE LIGHT EATERS, by Zoe Schlanger, and I cannot say enough good things about it.

If you liked AN IMMENSE WORLD and thought, "But what about plants??", then Zoe has written the book for you. I see it as a sister publication to mine.

Out next May. Pre-order now!

Photosynthetic enhancers I might want to add to the title. I need to read this one again. The light dark changes are intriguing.

“may be surprisingly malleable, even on ecological timescales”

Gene regulation as a quantitative trait with precise description. Fascinating read.

I have wondered about how different N-sources affect increases in carbon assimilation. Still wonder about the mechanism but this at least is a fact - in wheat.

Arabidopsis fertilization with ammonia or nitrate or mix in high CO2 chambers. Did anyone do that already? #plantscience

And here is one of them. We model gene regulatory networks, compare them and analyze evolution of photosynthesis. By comparing multiple networks we find high confidence regulators for photosynthesis (or any pathway you care to study really); @donat.bsky.social again
