Our lab is now two years old! Feeling very lucky to work with such a talented and motivated group of people. Celebrated our lab anniversary (and some other good news) with a poolside lunch on campus🏖️

Ever had issues with contamination in #Marchantia or #liverwort tissue culture? We've developed a protocol that is simple and low-effort (albeit slow) to get rid of fungi and bacteria: dx.doi.org/10.17504/pro.... Work led by Isaac Coven and supported by Chetan Pandey, myself & @dromius.bsky.social.
Day 8: lab and microscope practicals with the @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social group, led by @hsuanpai.bsky.social @siyusong.bsky.social and @karenuchida.bsky.social #TSLSummer2026
Preprint! How do "friendly" rhizobia build a legume nodule? @albinteulet.bsky.social found that some may carry hidden transcription factors - proteins that mimic DNA-binding folds to enter the plant nucleus and rewrite its developmental program. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... (1/6)
SOOoo cool 🤯😍
Sebastian Schornack@dromius.bsky.social · last mo.The 'heart' of the #Mycorrhiza #fungi #symbiosis is the arbuscule where plant and fungus exchange nutrients and carbon. Try the arbuscule growth simulator. Let me know how you adjust parameters to get the most beautiful arbuscules. schornacklabslcu.github.io/Arbuscule-Sim/
