Our paper is out! 🥳🌿 We show that auxin transport regulates shoot branching architecture in the lycophyte, _Selaginella kraussiana_, suggesting that PIN-mediated auxin transport is an ancestral regulator of branching in vascular plants. @Dev_journal journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

I'm recruiting for an SWBio funded PhD project @BristolBioSci investigating whether slowing plant development can improve herb/salad crop yields. Like microRNAs, coriander and Bristol? Get in touch! Details in the link below. swbio.ac.uk/agriculture-an…

Did you ever wonder why vascular plant shoots don’t terminate in sporangia like bryophytes do? I’m excited to be able to offer a 4-year funded PhD @BristolBioSci to find out! Project info on findaphd.com & please get in touch if you’d like to know more.

Going deep into the very essence of cabbages at #FUTURES2023 @FUTURES_NIGHT @BristolBioSci @BristolUni

Gene duplication, transfer, and also loss have shaped the diversity of plants, my Tansley Insight is now out and open access :) It was great fun to write and I've heard it's even more fun to read!! Many thanks to @NewPhyt for the opportunity nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…
