Our latest preprint is online. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Our exciting data show that embryonic patterning in Arabidopsis is kick-started by differential sensitivity towards auxin and not by differential distribution of auxin.

Before auxin distribution matters: Prepatterning of the Arabidopsis embryo axis by MPK6-dependent AUX/IAA8 phosphorylation

In growth and development of plants, the signaling molecule auxin plays an instrumental role. Many patterning processes are controlled by auxin signaling in a self-organizing matter. After fertilizati...

Fresh preprint online from our group! We find that stomatal maturation IS possible in the embryo, when they lack ERECTA signaling, but then still, only at the cotyledon tip. A thread. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

ERECTA signaling controls the timing of Arabidopsis Guard Cell maturation at the embryonic leaf tip

While cell identities are established early during embryogenesis, these cells remain immature until germination, and the mechanisms enforcing this developmental pause are poorly understood. Embryonic ...

One of our recent papers describing techniques to identify root barriers to parasitic plant infection. Plus we show that lignin in the cortex can block branched broomrape infection of tomato.

Hairy link... Gouran et al. @bradylabs.bsky.social @plantdevo.bsky.social provide an integrated experimental framework that enables holistic analysis of broomrape parasitism, which may be applied at scale to accelerate resistance gene discovery in #tomato & other hosts 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/pcp/...

4 images showing cellular resolution assessment of broomrape infection in tomato hairy roots. two top panels (a & b) show confocal microscopy of the tomato–broomrape interface. two bottom panels (c & d) show cleared tomato hairy roots with an attached broomrape seedling. Images taken from Figure 3, Mona Gouran, Moonglow S De Clarin, Siobhan M Brady, Neelima R Sinha, An integrated framework to elucidate mechanisms underlying host-branched broomrape infection, Plant and Cell Physiology, Volume 67, Issue 4, April 2026, Pages 605–613, https://doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pcaf161
