Excited to share our lab latest preprint with collaborations with @YCJimmyLin and Ying-Lan Chen. We revealed a new purpose of living xylem cells!! They encode a large number of conserved gene families responsible for vascular sap peptides .A thread 👇.

Asking online - what would be a good lab retreat schedule? And what would be the most memorable activity? Any suggestions are welcome! PS We are doing a two day lab retreat after the whole lab is attending conference/forest sampling!.

New paper alert! Fungal communities in tropical forests show extreme turnover at fine spatial scales. Our study highlights the need for multi-habitat approaches to understand fungal biogeography.

I have a manuscript at review at Environmental Microbiome @MicrobiomeJ. The editor sent out review intivations at 09 Oct 2024. Now it's 1st December and I have not heard anything. No replies after writing them several emails. 🥲.

@YCJimmyLin Living xylem cells has largely been viewed as limited to preparing for their eventual function as dead, hollow structures responsible for fluid transport and mechanical support. We challenge this long-standing paradigm and please read the preprint if you are interested.

@YCJimmyLin Transcriptome analysis across xylem developmental stages revealed that living xylem cells, typically viewed as precursors to non-living structures, predominantly express these specifically at transitions between primary and secondary growth stages!!!!

@YCJimmyLin We characterized sap peptide precursor genes in Populus trichocarpa using an integrated approach that LC-MS/MS peptidomics, transcriptomics, and comparative genomics, expanding the known precursor families from approximately 50 to thousands that are conserved across angiosperms.

@YCJimmyLin Plant long-distance signaling peptides travel through the vascular system to coordinate development , yet their precursor genes and expression origins remain elusive. We hypothesize that the sap peptide precursor genes are expressed at specific stages of xylem development.
