- Reposted by Andrea SamaThe 2026 plant science conference travel award program is open! Awards are given to student/mentor pairs. At lease one of the pair must be a member of SACNAS or MANRRS or AISES. Please share, applications due by Dec 5, 2025. @sacnas.bsky.social rootandshoot.org/2026-root-sh...
- Really excited to share the pre-print of my first paper! It details the computational method we used to identify uncharacterized metabolites along the developmental gradient of maize roots, I hope you find it interesting! 🌱🌽
- Computational method for mapping mass signatures along developmental gradients reveals a novel role for a monosaccharide tetrose in maize salt-stress response. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/202…
- Reposted by Andrea SamaPlant health is essential to food security, yet pathogens continue to threaten crops worldwide. To better understand how disease takes hold—& how to stop them—HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow @shanice-webster.bsky.social is exploring the dynamic relationships among plants, microbes, & disease-causing agents.
