Preprint alert! It is my great pleasure to announce the first manuscript from the lab, a story that started @gmivienna.bsky.social and was mainly accomplished by the intrepid @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. A brief thread with our findings

AGO5 restricts virus vertical transmission in plant gametophytes
The propagation of a viral infection from a host parent to its progeny is known as vertical transmission, or seed transmission in plants. It allows viral infections to rapidly spread locally via polle...

Think vacuoles are just plant cell dumpsters? Think again.
They sense. They signal. They reshape. They fight back! ⚔️

Vacuoles are emerging as central hubs for plant resilience and adaptation. 🌱

@plantophagy.bsky.social and I unpack it all in our new review. Check it out!

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.
