Do any #plantbiology #secmet #botany or other folks know if the USDA's Plant Database is really just down for maintenance, or is it a larger closure/deletion? Thank you! plants.usda.gov

I'm very excited our most recent work on plant tandem kinases (TKPs) has finally been published! TKPs are a fascinating protein family conferring disease resistance to fungi. Originally in bioRxiv. Many thanks to @yichangsung.bsky.social for leading this work. 🧡 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
