🌾 Grass leaves are the photosynthetic powerhouses of human civilisation. @lbmountain.bsky.social's transcriptomic atlas of nearly 70,000 cells from shoot apex to mature leaf follows the genetic programs that form a grass leaf 🧬 paper doi.org/10.1093/plce... expression browser shiny.ips.unibe.ch

Now online, our new preprint about asymmetric cell division regulation in the grass leaf: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Big congratulations to all co-authors, especially @ncyberwitch.bsky.social, whose thorough analysis pushed this work, including beautiful time-lapse imaging 🌾💪

A premitotic polarity program patterns the grass leaf epidermis

Transverse asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) in grass leaf epidermal development produce large basal pavement cells and small apical specialised cells. These “patterning divisions” generate the long-sh...

🌾 Every grass leaf shares the same repeating short-long cell pattern in its epidermis. Our new #preprint identifies the protein that builds it. 🔬🧬 📄 preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵⬇️ 1/11

Now, you can find our single-cell transcriptomic dataset of the developing grass leaf in The Plant Cell (academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...). You can also screen for the expression of your genes of interest (shiny.ips.unibe.ch). Congrats to all authors, especially the brilliant @lbmountain.bsky.social

#EED2026 in Glasgow was my first but surely not last EED conference.What a welcoming and inspiring crowd combining plant and animal Evo-Devo,I learned so many new things.Our group went strong with great talks by @michaelraissig.bsky.social and @aemonet.bsky.social and Lidia winning the poster prize!

So proud to share our latest publication @CellCellPress! Yue Rui reveals that the same enzyme that makes the wall, cellulose synthase complex (CESA), also tethers the plasma membrane to the wall during water-deficit stress, providing resilience. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If I could do another Postdoc, I would do it with Edwige! I highly recommend her as a mentor, person, and scientist. You can do incredible research at a cutting-edge institute surrounded by a supportive team. Don‘t miss this chance! 🌱

Some species are more studied than others, and it is common to assume that what happens in a model plant like Arabidopsis applies to all other plant species. This is far from true. Recently…
