Altrough I do agree, couldn't it be in the end just pragmatical? For publishing in "non-profit" society journals you pay circa the same price (without transparency where the money goes to) for lower IF (important for your further evaluations)?

Based on your comments, you were already on the right track. Cheers!

Have been keeping whole sporangias in a freezer on -20 without notable germination problems so far. Possibly two issues: spores were not matured (you harvested it too soon), or they were not properly dehydrated (air-dry them after collecting and/or add a few silica gel beads for some time).

Thank you, this looks like a lot of work!
If I may ask, why you named it "Evolution" and not "Morphogenesis"? Based on the title, I was expecting slightly different content - not too much is known about the evolution of phyllids (and the preprint is not touching it also)

What works for me best in those cases: go to the primers they used, blast it against genome/transcriptome of the plant - uala, you have got the protein

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

(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.

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?

"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).
