I'm so fortunate to be attending UBC and working in an awesome lab! 😆 Thanks so much for the endless support! yippee!

oh my gosh!! so cute 🥺 if i had seen this in high school, i would have instantly decided to study biology in college haha

Thank you so much Dr. Fisher ☺️ yeah they're pretty great!

Thank you so much Min Ya! 😊 Yes, I'm looking forward to it!! 😆🌼

thank you so much Héctor! 😄

thank you so much! 😊

thank you so much Minya!! That means a lot coming from you! 😄

(4/5) – But there is still always room for improvement in plant cell cycle markers. We proposed the combination of two existing marker lines (PCNA-GFP and tubulin marker) to visualize all stages of the cell cycle, including each stage of mitosis.

(3/5) – Luckily, plant cell biologists have become very creative to circumvent the challenges of developing a FUCCI equivalent marker. This figure summarizes the four markers that have helped visualize each stage of the cell cycle so far. Feel free to use this illustration.

(2/5) – You may already know that cell cycle marker lines have progressed much further in animals compared to plants. But why? It’s because in plants, there are challenges associated with developing a FUCCI equivalent marker. We go into more detail regarding this in the review.
