Transgene-free edited plants in one generation, clever approach!

Chimeric RNA resulting from Cas9 & guide RNA transcripts fusion to tRNA-like sequence motifs moves from transgenic rootstocks to grafted wild-type shoots producing heritable edited genes #PlantScience

Want to get the data out of a PDF figure? As in, the actual data – not a rough trace-along-the-lines version?

I made an app you might like: adamkucharski.github.io/pdf2plot/

Communication is a two-way street. A sender emits a cue that is perceived and triggers a change in the receiver's behavior. Plants perceive information regarding light, water, nutrients, touch, herbivores, pathogens... Plants also emit cues perceived by others. #PlantScience

It's our birthday! Twenty-five years ago, in December 2000, the Arabidopsis thaliana genome was published and #TAIR was born.

Now, we're preparing for the release of #TAIR12 early in the new year. What a long way we've come!

More than two years ago, TAIR took the lead in a volunteer-driven project to reannotate the Arabidopsis thaliana genome

How do Xylem-Pole-Pericycle cells decide between forming a new Lateral Root or contributing to cambium formation & secondary growth?

Cytokinins facilitate cambium development & reduce LR potency, shaping the entire root architecture!
