- Reposted by Lee SweetloveGame changer for cell-based plant genetics: the labs of Caixia Gao & Jin-Long Qiu have developed very efficient self-replicating vectors and they just published a very nice proof-of-concept paper. #plantscience www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- It's hard to find the words. There won't be many people in the plant sciences community who won't feel the loss of such a generous soul and penetrating scientific mind.
- makes sense....
- Reposted by Lee SweetloveI have a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position starting in January to study the evolution of seed gene networks using the fern Ceratopteris! Interested? More info here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DNU179/r... Closing date 31st July. 🙂 #PlantScience #PlantSciencejobs

- Outstanding work by @anyalb.bsky.social in my lab - she targeted enzymes to synthetic biomolecular condensates in plants and showed increases in metabolic pathway activity, likely due to protection of the introduced enzymes from proteolysis #PlantScience onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- The metabolic signal that regulates TOR is the Calvin-Benson cycle-derived metabolite DHAP. Activation of TOR by DHAP is also true in animals....

- Lots of excellent advice in this piece. The core message - only through writing do you really think and order your thoughts into logical sense. Makes a case for not using AI for 1st draft because you bypass the thinking step www.nature.com/articles/s41... @naturebiotech.bsky.social #PlantScience
- If you want to find out why metabolism may look different to what you were taught, and why this matters, dip into to our review 'Non-canonical plant metabolism' www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natureplants.bsky.social #PlantScience

- sound advice from @jennifermach.bsky.social please pay attention all you writers out there!! No acronyms that don't save a word. No acronyms for terms not used more than 3 times. And really, just cut out the acronyms, they just make text harder to read and understand..
