Great idea to try! Were there some visible abnormalities in mutant phyllids? Can't find it anywhere

๐ŸšจOur collaboration with @centriolelab.bsky.social & @gautamdey.bsky.social is out today in @cp-cell.bsky.social
We show that #Expansion #Microscopy is a broad-spectrum modality for Euks, enabling 3D phenotypic maps rooted to phylogeny.

(1/6) First and foremost, Auxenochlorella spp. are oily green algae that can be readily transformed by homologous recombination, enabling efficient site-specific transformation of the nuclear genome. This is a first for chlorophytes, and we hope that it will facilitate lots of interesting research

Really tried to get to the root of our problem during the lab meeting today.

But then I realized that we work on mosses, and roots are exclusive to euphyllophytes, so it's kind of alright.

Born #onthisday in 1865, the German photographer Karl Blossfeldt. 63 years later he published his 1st photography book, the groundbreaking and best-selling Urformen der Kunst (Art Forms in Plants). See our highlights here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/k... #otd

Looks interesting and cool topic too!
What I kind of don't understand is how this is PPB-independent? If trm678 have more 4WJ, there is direct effect on avoidance phenomenon, no?

Thank you, definitely putting to my must read list! Have you also tried to put this collinearity test outside of Bryopsida (let's say Takakia, Sphagnum, or Marchantia)?

"We found an arabidopsis mutant developing stomata on the roots!"

Not buying it? Eggcellent! What you actually see is a horn of the hornwort Anthoceros agrestis (and what you read was probably my favorite 1st April joke we did in the lab).

Meaning: Scientists are doing their investigative work, which should ideally resault in a publication. Strangely enough, when journals want to publish their work, scientists will gather quite large sum of money and pay the journal instead, probably as a sign of appreciation.
