Ok people. I’m drawing silhouettes this afternoon. If you have a paper coming up and you are in need of a #silhouette please let me know and I will have it ready today. As always I upload all my silhouettes to phylopic.org
I also have tutorials on how to put a silhouette in a plot in R.

Happy Friday everyone! Here are some cool Arabidopsis mini trees🌴
Arabidopsis arenosa hypocotyls can undergo extensive secondary growth and the rosettes that develop on top make them look like palm trees 🤯I wonder if this can be engineered in thaliana..

Im totally baffled and hoping the collective mind might have some ideas! 🙏
We have a crispr line w/ 5bp del and phenotype. We can see the edit in gDNA seq, but reads mapped + RT-PCR levels are normal, and the protein can be detected at (we think) full protein mass.
In the OE, reads are higher but phenotype look like crispr pheno?
What could be going on. Any thoughts? 🤡

We’re delighted to share our latest preprint from the Hogenhout lab (@saskiahogenhout.bsky.social) on the molecular mechanisms on plant-aphid interactions. Here we show how the aphid Mp10 effector protein acts as a local anaesthetic to suppress the plant perception of aphid attack
