🧬 How can simple gene circuits create complex cell behaviours? James Locke’s team shows how a common genetic circuit, combining positive & negative feedback loops, can be tuned to produce a wide range of gene-expression patterns 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🔗 www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/news/how-sim...

It was such a lovely conference. I had so many insightful conversations and encouraging discussions. Talks were super amazing. #plantbiology #SLS26
A huge thank you to everyone who attended #SLS26 & our concluding keynote speaker @apmahonen.bsky.social for a fascinating talk and exciting new insights into how stem cell fate decisions are regulated in the vascular cambium. Read more about his team's work: www.helsinki.fi/en/researchg...
It was super nice to catch up with the community and present my work. I had a wonderful time. #thermomorphogenesis #plantscience #heatstress
Glad to be hosting the #Thermomorphogenesis 2026 meeting at @dundee.ac.uk, with 3 days full of exciting research and discussions about recent advances in plant temperature responses. Very happy to be part of such a supportive community!
Excited to share that our work on single-nucleus RNA-seq of the shoot apical meristem — the shoot stem cell niche — has found a home. #Plantascience #scRNAseq #stemcells www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Single-nucleus transcriptomics resolves multiple fate dynamics between inflorescence meristem and primary stem
snRNA-seq reveals shoot stem cell heterogeneity and traces their differentiation into primary stem cell types.

Powerful new protocol from @kathschiessl.bsky.social's lab to trigger & visualise earliest stages of symbiotic root nodule formation in Medicago truncatula — no genetic reporters needed means broad species application! Protocol: doi.org/10.1016/j.xp... Summary: www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/news/new-pro...
Excited for #ICAR2025 icar2025.com. Come join us at the workshop on Heterogeneity in plants. See you soon in Ghent! #PlantScience
#PlantScience Come join us on this exciting workshop #ICAR2025 icar2025.com in Ghent in less than two weeks!, Great speakers and panel discussion!. Organized by myself @cragenomica.bsky.social along with @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social @thesainsburylab.bsky.social , Katarina Heldesova and Hantao Zhang
Our exhibit at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is open! Come and see what Sainsbury Laboratory scientists get up to and have a go at: 🐝 seeing like a bee using a mini-UV camera 🌺 photographing a flower under a scanning electron microscope 💪 discovering how plants move without muscles
We are thrilled to have been awarded a silver-gilt medal at our first Chelsea Flower Show! 🪻 An enormous thank you to everyone who contributed to this success - @eng.cam.ac.uk, Darwin Nurseries and Oakington Garden Centre! #RHSChelsea @cambridgeuni.bsky.social
Love it when you are growing an Arabidopsis collection and they all have different shapes, sizes an colors! #Arabidopsis #plantscience
Join us in Cambridge this September for the 9th annual Plant #ComputationalBiology Workshop. Seminars and discussions will focus on 5 key themes: 1. #Mechanics 2. Pattern processes 3. #AI 4. Computer graphics 5. Concepts 🧳3 travel grants available REGISTER TODAY www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/computationa...
The Rowe lab is recruiting a #PlantScience PhD student for 2025! You'll use our new ABACUS FRET biosensors to map the leaf #AbscisicAcid accumulations at low humidity in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice to understand how ABA regulates stomatal dynamics. #PhDposition www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
