It was good to catch up on my reading for this dispatch in Current Biology. Sjoerd Woudenberg in the Weijers lab, Wallner et al. In the Dolan lab and Flores Sandoval et al. In the Bowman lab have done a great job!

A study published in @newphyt.bsky.social by the Marí-Ordóñez group at the GMI, presents a new and highly reproducible method for genetic transformation in the duckweed species Spirodela polyrhiza.

- Reposted by Kay SchneitzIt's finally out!... Using single-cell and spatial transcriptome data, and data imputation, we created BARVISTA, a website able to perform almost genome-wide information on gene expression profiles at single-cell resolution in barley spikes! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Kay SchneitzDear @dfg.de So, I will spend months writing a grant and you will let people judge it with AI tools that are trained on predatory journals like Frontiers, MDPI or alike that are practically not peer-reviewed??? Is this how you will select cutting edge science??? #idiocracy
- Reposted by Kay SchneitzJust in time for Christmas a new paper in @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social by @joannakacprzyk.bsky.social and myself. We asked 421 plant scientists why they study plants! Check it out and also check @plantmemories.bsky.social where we post lovely survey responses.
- Our paper is out now in @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social! Read it here: doi.org/10.1002/ppp3... We will start sharing plant memories from our survey! Watch this space. #plantsci
