"re"-localizing a single protein (MFP1) shifts the whole starch granule initiation machinery within chloroplasts. Seeing starch granules at the periphery of the chloroplast was astonishing 😍 Our new paper establishes the first step in granule initiation. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Highly recommended if you are passionate in working with non-coding RNAs in plants...You could not find a better mentor.

🚨New @biorxivpreprint alert! We are thrilled to share our latest findings—building on our earlier work on suppressors of helper NLRs of NRC family—a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector captures resistosome assembly intermediates of tomato NRC3! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

❗️ Exciting review alert❗️focussing on the evolution and mechanism of prokaryotic ESCRT-III-like systems.. fun collaboration with Tom Williams! doi.org/10.1016/j.sbi.…

Preprint alert! Here is the second chapter from @AvikKumarPal1, a fantastic PhD student. We show endosperm-specific roles of OsCLSY4 chromatin remodeler especially its involvement in grain quality. Comments welcome @NCBS_Bangalore @TIFRScience @DAEIndia biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We've just released another set of peer reviewer trees. Each digital tree represents a real-life tree in Great Knott Wood that is being protected, thanks to the important work of our peer reviewers. Check out the full #forestofbiologists on forest.biologists.com/landscape @Co_Biologists

These are Catasetum orchids, as bees probe inside they trigger this yellow sac of pollen called pollinia to be launched, attaching to the back of a bee with a sticky pad, watch here When they later visit female flowers, the pollinia fits for pollination

New paper alert! Our latest work shows how oxygen sensing in plants evolved to make life on land possible. Please, have a look-cell.com/molecular-plan…

🚨#LLPS: New trick for an old membrane protein! Homo- and hetero-condensates of a native membrane protein in E. coli tagged with PopTag 🔬🦠 LacY-PopTag is functional and localizes at cell poles or mobile foci in a curvature-dependent manner 🔗doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

Pleased to share my very general review of Photosynthesis now published in @NatRevMCB 🌞🌱 rdcu.be/em1lz Hopefully a useful primer for Postgrad and undergrad students

Have a look at our recent Tansley Insights article.

Amazing toolkit…🫶🏻🤗Thank you Authors and Wohlever Lab..😊

Delighted to share this. A novel H4 variant that modulates chromatin to mediate salt stress response. This mammoth work was driven to perfection by @VivekHariSunda1, a wonderful PhD student who also taught me. We report its CryoEM structure & unusual chemistry @NCBS_Bangalore 1/3

No joke! Pseudomonas viridiflava naturally infects wild Marchantia. Now published in @CurrentBiology. Led by Kayla Robinson with @LuciaBuric, Kris Grenz, @Khongsam_Chia from our group @JohnInnesCentre, and @michhulin & @wenboEffector from @TheSainsburyLab -sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In this new preprint, we show that fatty acid biosynthesis in oil-accumulating plant tissues is not isolated but is associated with a simultaneous breakdown of fatty acids. #Lipid_turnover #Beta_oxidation #plant_science
