Thanks! Yes, we made an independent attempt to interpret plant exocyst evolutionary dynamics (also by using DNA from algae!) I would say both papers are worth reading, maybe even side-by-side #PlantScience

Always a great feeling when the findings from your publications are independently replicated by another group ♥️ As @plantophagy.bsky.social and I learn during our time at @kamounlab.bsky.social lab: "Our goal is to produce science that stands the test of time" See preprint complementing our study👇🏻

In an heoric endeavor, Xiomin Liu, PhD student in the lab, characterized the dynamics and topology of the cell division machinery during cambium stem cell divisions. Super fruitful collaboration with the group of Sabine Müller (@phragmoplast.bsky.social). doi.org/10.1111/nph....

(1/6) First and foremost, Auxenochlorella spp. are oily green algae that can be readily transformed by homologous recombination, enabling efficient site-specific transformation of the nuclear genome. This is a first for chlorophytes, and we hope that it will facilitate lots of interesting research

"We found an arabidopsis mutant developing stomata on the roots!" Not buying it? Eggcellent! What you actually see is a horn of the hornwort Anthoceros agrestis (and what you read was probably my favorite 1st April joke we did in the lab).

Z-stack photo of an Anthoceros agrestis sporophyte with stomata all along the structure.

Convergent evolution of mutations in LOG cytokinin synthesis genes leads to loss of prickles across flowering plants. Paper: doi.org/10.1126/science.ado1663 Perspective: doi.org/10.1126/science.adr2473 (26/34)

Convergent evolution of plant prickles by repeated gene co-option over deep time

An enduring question in evolutionary biology concerns the degree to which episodes of convergent trait evolution depend on the same genetic programs, particularly over long timescales. In this work, w...

Matching sets of footprints discovered in Africa and South America reveal that dinosaurs once traveled along a type of highway 120 million years ago before the two continents split apart, according to new research. cnn.it/3AGrshr

Emilie-Kate’s paper on CRISPR in Ceratodon is out! She used the endogenous APT selection system to test native Ceratodon U6 snRNA promotors, and used homology directed repair to insert GFP driven by a new Ceratodon RPS5A promotor in a new landing site onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
