Postdoc, @Bishopp_Lab How did the duckweed lose its root?

I can however now safely say I have done enough cutting of tiny little duckweed roots to last a lifetime. Interesting things to follow nonetheless, watch this space 👀.

Special thanks to all those that have provided feedback and reviewer comments along the way in its various guises. We hope it's a useful one for both the duckweed community and people interested more broadly in the evo-devo of organ loss.

Great to see this (co-corresponding!) work from my postdoc out in the wild in Current Biology. Duckweeds are really odd little aquatic plants, and have roots they don't really need. Tony has summarised it beautifully here:.
What do snakes, cavefish and duckweed have in common? They are now all models for understanding organ loss. Inspired by research on limblessness in snakes and vision loss in cavefish, we examined root loss in duckweed. Paper here: in @CurrentBiology.

Great to chat with @CHollyWalker and @wokingplants about our long journey towards understanding more about the end of flowering. Reminded of how excellent it was to collab with @tombennettlab and so happy to have a chunk of my PhD out in the wild!.
On GARNet Community podcast we chat about auxin, mind-numbing phenotyping and local arrest of flowering w @alexandergware @CHollyWalker from @PlantSciNottm @PlantSciLeeds .📖 @NaturePlants.👂 below or search ‘GARNet Community’ on your fav podcatcher ✅ .

what I would've given for this in undergrad.
A quick zoom in from cell to pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) in a mitochondrion, from 'Chapter 4 | Macromolecular Machines' in our new First Year Animated Textbook 'Life | Unit 1 | From Atoms to Cells'. #biology #animation #education

Enormous respect for the flower removal experiments @CHollyWalker!.
This is the result of a year of blood, sweat and tears (literally), and I'm very proud of it. Great collaboration with @alexandergware, Zoe, Tony and Karin, with some very exciting results. Classic auxin, being involved in everything. .

Super happy to say our preprint on why flowering ends in Arabidopsis is out!. Spoiler: Auxin is involved - and only 'old' meristems are sensitive to it. Big thanks for the collaborative effort @CHollyWalker @ThisSunOfYork @Bishopp_Lab & the Ljung group.
