Here my little thread from too long ago!
A new story from our lab! What if we could stimulate two receptors in exactly the same cell type? Would they actually be able to keep their specific outputs separate? Or would their respective signals be confounded into a single, mixed output? 1/9

Insane that an economics professor would claim “technologies can’t eliminate poverty.” The Green Revolution was all about technology: - high-yielding variety seeds - chemical fertilizers - pesticides & herbicides - mechanization - irrigation techniques This is basic history.

Working title “Secrets of a Gene Body”: In our latest preprint we provide evidence for largely cell-autonomous (sic) action of the brassinosteroid receptor BRI1, which is necessary across multiple tissues to drive root growth. https://t.co/vYfnghtzVi

Finally online! First paper from lab! I’m so happy this work found a great home @embojournal read all about how a root barrier does more than just selection! It also signals to the shoot! - a feature thats hidden until you put it plants on a “real” soil https://t.co/bgsWd1Yj4M

Great story from the Brady lab! We have learned that root barriers and root cellular anatomy are functionally important and surprisingly plastic - turns out that bacteria knew it all along and profoundly affect aerenchyma formation and suberisation in Sorghum upon colonization!
I am really proud to share our study on microbes, Striga and sorghum is now online in Cell Reports! https://t.co/STOgy4iUqT and the press release is here: https://t.co/HD1osRYKdW This was an epic effort led by the incredible @dorota_kawa and many more + @HarroBouwmeest1
