- Reposted by Heinrich BentePreprint 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 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Heinrich BenteIt was wonderful to have Bijun with us @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social & @incavirus.bsky.social to finally "use our microscope to its full potential" as our core-facility put it! 🔬 Congrats to all, esp. @bijuntang.bsky.social and @xanderjones.bsky.social ! Super happy to be a part of this great story!

- Our lab has a keen interest in hybridization barriers, such as those that occur in Arabidopsis when parents of different ploidy are crossed — a phenomenon often referred to as the "triploid block." Normal seeds appear light brown, plump, and healthy, whereas seeds from interploidy crosses do not.
- Quantification of these aborted seeds was traditionally done manually, i.e., by taking a picture and counting how many normal, abnormal, and totally aborted seeds were present in a given image. The problem was always the huge variation between different people doing the counting.
