Great turnout at our 'omics approach to EngBio' event yesterday at HinxtonHall.Thanks to all our speakers who gave great insightful talks. Our ECR Committee is feeling inspired! Looking forward to the next! #genomics #genomes #dna #automation #microbial #bayesian #bigdata #antimicrobialresistance

New paper alert! Our latest work shows how oxygen sensing in plants evolved to make life on land possible. Please, have a look-! www.cell.com/molecular-pl... #plantscience

Excited to share that our preprint has found a home in Science Advances. We show that intrinsically disordered regions determine the functional diversification of actin-regulatory SCAR proteins in Medicago. 🧵 1/3 www.science.org/doi/full/10.... #ScienceAdvances #PlantScience #IDRs

Spread the word! We are looking for a lab technician to join our emerging group at @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social. Please check here: tinyurl.com/bdev9y6t. Essential to have a FP/technical degree diploma, regardless of having higher degrees.

We’re very excited to announce that the #nonseedUK25 meeting will be held in Norwich on 12th December 2025. For now, please save the date and more details will follow. Enormous thanks to @philcarella.bsky.social for organising this year’s meeting 😃

It is out! CLAVATA in moss: not only meristems! Big thanks to @jillharrison.bsky.social , @ilichenmoss2.bsky.social and @newphyt.bsky.social

Our work on MYBs and WRKY regulating suberin in tomato exodermis is now out in @jxbotany.bsky.social! 🍅 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... 👩‍🔬 @leonardojo.bsky.social @riannekluck.bsky.social @marianasartur.bsky.social Sara Buti, Alex Cantó-Pastor @bradylabs.bsky.social 🌱 #PlantScience

The Building Blocks of Early Land Plants: Glycosyltransferases and Cell Wall Architecture in the model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.30.651426v1

Nice to see the main output of @theakongsted.bsky.social PhD work on the MBW complex in Marchantia as a pre-print. Congratulations!

Read & RP. New preprint by Alex Gavrin from his time in our team - Inactivation of Medicago Glucan binding protein 1 (GBP1) offers: An approach to enhance symbiotic nitrogen fixation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🌿 Excited to share our latest preprint! We tracked how plasmodesmata numbers evolved across the path from C₃ → C₄ photosynthesis in Flaveria - and found a stepwise increase in cell-to-cell connectivity. Thoughts or feedback are most welcome 😊 #PlantScience

A tRNA-gRNA multiplexing system for CRISPR genome editing in Marchantia polymorpha. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.18.649274v1

We have a postdoc position that just opened up in the Brady lab on reprogramming tomato root system architecture in response to changes in nutrient availability - please consider applying! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07095

Grateful to share that our study on "The genetic architecture of cell type–specific cis regulation in maize" is now published in @science.org! Huge thank you to all co-authors and the 4 tough, but fair, reviewers who all helped to improve the study 🌽🧬 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our preprint has now found a wonderful home in @molbioevol.bsky.social. Shout out to our collaborators in the Mozgova lab too 💚

Semi-automated workflow for high-throughput Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation. Summary of our efforts to accelerate plant transgenics with the @earlhaminst.bsky.social Biofoundry. Now published in @theplantjournal.bsky.social. #PlantScience #Synbio onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I'm thrilled to share that our study is now published in Cell: Extensive N4 cytosine methylation is essential for Marchantia sperm function. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... This paper confirms our 4mC discovery in Marchantia sperm and takes it much further. A thread: 0/13

Previously on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social now online @currentbiology.bsky.social : auxin responses in the streptophyte alga Penium turn out to be highly similar to tryptophan response…PhD work from the amazing @poletc.bsky.social and with @jorgehg.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to share the publication of our recent work on the identification of CP24 as a determinant of variation in NPQ and PSII efficiency in maize 🌽☀️. This paper involved a massive team effort in the lab and collaboration with colleagues at @essexuni.bsky.social 🧬🧪 tinyurl.com/yn7hwjyk

(1/17) We are excited to share the Ashraf and Gallagher labs collaboration on cell cycle regulation during environmental stress recovery in Arabidopsis, Brachypodium, and ryegrass.

Our latest preprint is on BioRxiv: Impact of low-calorie sweeteners on gut bacteria is modulated by common xenobiotics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @mrc-tu.bsky.social @kiranrpatil.bsky.social #microsky #microbiomesky (1/5)

[🚨Pre-print alert🚨] Excited to share our findings on the enigmatic ericoid mycorrhizal symbiosis. 🔴For the first time we provide evidence that ericoid mycorrhizae evolved from ancestral arbuscular mycorrhizae through the co-option nutrient-dependent regulation 👇! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Conserved effectors underpin the virulence of liverwort-isolated Pseudomonas in divergent plants Very happy to share the published version of our work on natural Marchantia-Pseudomonas interactions. Out now in Current Biology: www.cell.com/current-biol...

New updates to elife papers are super cool :)

After a lot of work, we are finally able to share this project about the cell cycle in Marchantia from the Haseloff lab. If you want to find out how cell division is controlled, you can’t miss out this one… #PlantScience #Synbio #EvoDevo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very cool research by our neighbors #PlantScience #Synbio www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Recently, two papers showed the potential of population genetics in Marchantia from @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social and Dolan's lab. Here is my dispatch for Current Biology talking about them. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Fantastic meeting, looking forward to it.
