Single-cell genomics gives us a sharper lens 🔬 to see how gene expression diverges and how cis-regulatory elements evolve and shift in duplicated genes 🧬. A dynamic new view of regulation is emerging—check out the paper for insights! #SingleCell #Genomics #CREs

🚀 Excited to share our latest review on cis-regulatory dynamics in plant domestication! 🌿 We summarize current insights into CREs in domestication, discuss key challenges, and highlight future opportunities for exploration. Check it out! @Schmitz_Lab

We're recruiting! Fully funded 2-year postdoc position in fruit pathology. The project is a fun mixture of field trials and basic molecular mycology, so any applicants that could lead research in one or both of those areas should absolutely apply!

Beautiful work, congratulations!
Excited to see my dissertation work published!! doi.org/10.1111/nph.20268 couldn’t have done it without all my amazing co-authors and especially @madelainebart 🌾

I'm happy to share our new paper in Journal of Basic Microbiology. This is a very nice work about the synthesis of polyamines in Ustilaginomycetes. We dedicate this work to the memory of my mentor, Prof. José Ruiz‐Herrera. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Come work with me as a #postdoc in beautiful UMass Amherst on dodder pop genetics and adaptation! Join an NSF-funded collaboration with researchers at Penn State and Rutgers. Great plant and evo bio folks at UMass too! Job details and how to apply below. careers.umass.edu/amherst/en…

Happy to share my first publication !! We built a copper-inducible transient gene expression system in Nicotiana benthamiana. Look forward to the potential of the copper-inducible system in benthamiana studies.😊

Our new study highlights the need for quality control in US #AMF mycorrhizal products. After assessing 23 inoculants, products underperformed compared to research lab-grown fungi, showing #plantpathogens, non-viability, and few AM fungal spores: Read it!

I wish we were still there discussing effector biology and bacterial pathogens and our hopes and dreams!

Please read this amazing research from @dianagdlc in which she reveals how molecular mimicry has shaped the plant immune response to a fungal effector leading to disease resistance. Great work from her PhD
@TheSainsburyLab with @MathewMoscou 👇
I am *beyond thrilled* to have the work from my PhD finally out!! 💫
We found that MLA3, a plant immune receptor, mimics a virulence target of Magnaporthe oryzae to set a trap for this fungus and trigger disease resistance. How cool is that?! 🤓

Great talk today @TheSainsburyLab from @kamiljwitek of @2blades . From the scientific perspective, to the high throughput research, and the community engagement: amazing! Also the hands-on on protoplasts cell death assays lead by @ItsJustLel was quite cool.
