(1/15) We are happy to share the recent preprint from the lab, in a collaboration with Erin Sparks @erinsparks.bsky.social and Norman Best.
This story is focused on cell division and auxin in presence of one of the toxic metals, lead (Pb).

Check out our new preprint where we explore natural variation, leading to the identification of SUBER GENE1, a novel regulator of suberization. Excited to share the first manuscript from a project I conceptualized 10 years ago!
Delighted to share one piece of my postdoc work in preprint: Through forward genetic screening for suberin deposition in root endodermis, we identified SUBER GENE 1 (SBG1) by GWAS as a novel regulator for suberization by interacting with Type One Protein Phosphatase. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
