- Reposted by Kin Pan ChungHappy to share this work with Virginia Sanchez-Puerta (not on bsky) and colleagues on how loss of photosynthesis in these (strange!) plants affects translation and tRNAs in plastids and mitochondria.... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/n
- Reposted by Kin Pan ChungAre you interested in using synthetic approaches to promote arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis? Then our PostDoc position may be for you: jobs.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/jobposting/b...
- Reposted by Kin Pan ChungAbsolutely happy to share our latest publication!🥳🎉 The first manuscript of the first PhD candidate of my team! 🥹🤩 Huge congratulations to our brilliant Asif Ahmed Sami for his excellent work! ✨️ academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...
- Cool study from the Sloan lab @sloanevolab.bsky.social demonstrating MSH1’s role in maintaining low mutation rates in cytoplasmic genomes and plant viability across generations! dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
- Reposted by Kin Pan ChungPlease share! Our lab is recruiting a PhD student to join us starting fall 2026. Our group is broadly interested in plant molecular evolution and comparative genomics.

- Reposted by Kin Pan Chung🔬 New study from José Gualberto’s team in @theplantcell.bsky.social reveals how OEX1 safeguards mitochondrial DNA in Arabidopsis thaliana. This all-purpose nuclease is key to genome stability and plant fertility. 👉 doi.org/10.1093/plce... #PlantScience #Mitochondria #Arabidopsis
- Reposted by Kin Pan ChungNew research by @egonzalezduran.bsky.social shows that DSB repair suppresses gene transfer from chloroplasts to nucleus. With DSB repair impaired, transfer rates jump 20× — revealing how plants protect genome stability, with lessons beyond plant biology. Read: nature.com/articles/s41477-025-02005-w
- Reposted by Kin Pan ChungOver 100 organisations still consider eLife papers when evaluating research contributions since losing our Impact Factor: buff.ly/wGQWNqs Help us rally more community support for research reform and let us know your funder or institution’s stance on the #ImpactFactor 💬
- Reposted by Kin Pan ChungExcited by new #NSFFunded research from #PopUpPoplars led by @michellezavala.bsky.social that shows the importance of considering cytonuclear interactions to plant function The role of cytonuclear interactions to plant adaptation across a Populus hybrid zone www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
