Exciting to see our 2018 PNAS model expanded in this new work! 🚀 Always rewarding to watch ideas evolve. @ShkolnikDoron @lab_costa Check it out: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1…
Arabidopsis calcium-dependent protein kinases 4/5/6/11 negatively regulate hydrotropism via phosphorylation of MIZU-KUSSEI1 academic.oup.com/plcell/article…
Aaand two hours later it finally occured to me that putting here a link to the article might be a good idea. Here it is folks! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our study on #lichen #symbiosis is out in @CurrentBiology! How can multiple microbes create a large, 3D, and structurally complex organism? To answer this question, we used #metagenomics, #metatranscriptomics, and a bit of protein structure modeling 🧵1/7

I am so excited that this is work is published! Please check out this tour-de-force of @CManzanoF which describes the development, function and genetic regulation of the tomato exodermis. Bonus - this cell wall barrier is actively repressed in inner cortical layers.
New OA Article: Regulation and function of a polarly localized lignin barrier in the exodermis rdcu.be/d2eLI Tomato roots: the exodermis is a genetically distinct polar lignin cap (PLC) barrier from the Casparian strip. SCZ and EXO1 repress PLC deposition. @bradylabs
