@jorissprakel.bsky.social16 h of actin imaging. One root tip. Never left the frame. PlantScope keeps the root upright & automatically tracks the tip. #AUXIN2026 @the.3i.social @aabiologists.bsky.social Data: Fendrych lab @plantmorpho.bsky.social @iebcas.bsky.social 3i PlantScope: www.intelligent-imaging.com/plantscope
Show PostHappy to share our latest work showing that fungal cell fusion not only requires local cell wall digestion but also inhibition of cell wall repair! PAK-family kinases promote cell fusion irreversibility by preventing cell-wall repair doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... Led by @juliacoronasserna.bsky.social
Show Post🌱New preprint 🎉 I am happy to share this last work of my PhD research! We uncover a novel role of cysteine protease RD19 in immunity. RD19 regulates RBOHD-generated ROS and is required for induced resistance responses. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... More details in the thread below! 🧵
Show PostGood grief. What a depressing article. Plants mentioned briefly once, about their interactions with animals. How can the New York Times pretend to have captured "the biggest question in science" without reference to the most important kingdom, which sustains us? 😤 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/s...
