Now in The Plant Cell: doi.org/10.1093/plce... We pulled together studies from Arabidopsis, rice, maize, barley, soybean and wheat to propose a cellular framework of seed dev through to germination, and to show what is conserved/differs. With Cunman He, @lewseylab.bsky.social, and James Whelan.

IMO the paper of the year in the gene regulation field - such a clean and clear study, showing how promoter-enhancer contacts mediate transcriptional activation. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Plants balance iron and immunity at the cell surface. Our new paper reveals how ubiquitin reorganizes the receptor SRF3 to coordinate both, and how this co-ordination works. Huge shoutout to Matt Platre who spearheaded and drove this tour de force! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🌱 How do plants read chitin length? The receptor CHIP13 works like a molecular measuring tape. What began 13 years ago with a recalcitrant protein is now in @science.org. Thanks to all my co-authors and colleagues! doi.org/10.1126/scie...
