When you publish in a society journal such as Plant Cell and MPMI, you are supporting your scientific community, including your own PostDocs and graduate students. Please think about how your publication decisions will have the most impact on the common good.

ASPB "remains committed to robustly supporting and strongly advocating for diversity and inclusion in the plant sciences, period." Read full statement 👉 https://blog.aspb.org/aspb-reaffirms-its-commitment-to-diversity-and-inclusion/.

Big shoutout to the incredible women in our lab—you inspire us every day 💪 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

MPMI recently published three prominent papers on breakthrough research in soybean cyst nematode management. See the thread below to read the press releases about the novel research 🫛🪱: www.eurekalert.org/news-release... www.eurekalert.org/news-release... www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Plant Sci. Res. Weekly -- Abundant RNAs on the leaf surface (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA) @msr20.bsky.social @luciaborniego.bsky.social @inneslab.bsky.social @pbaldrich.bsky.social (Summary by Mary Williams @plantteaching.bsky.social https://plantae.org/abundant-unusual-rnas-on-the-leaf-surface

What a great start to the year 2025. Just published online is our PNAS paper - Diverse plant RNAs coat Arabidopsis leaves and are distinct from apoplastic RNAs www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pbaldrich.bsky.social @meghahs28.bsky.social @inneslab.bsky.social

Very happy to start the new year with publication of our new work on leaf surface RNA. Plant leaves secrete diverse RNAs that are surprisingly stable on their surfaces. Next question to answer: What do they do? www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....

Proud mentor of Ph.D. triplets! Congratulations to Suchismita Ghosh, Ben Koch, and Alexandra Margets! All have a great future in front of them. It's been a great six years in the Innes Lab.

Great to be able to comment with Jeff Dangl on a couple of important papers published today in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Transfer of both sensor and helper NLRs enables broad taxonomic functionality - from Solanaceae to soybean/rice/Arabidopsis. #plantimmunity #plantbiology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Me too!
