Very cool!

A common pathway controls cell size in the sepal and leaf epidermis leading to a nonrandom pattern of giant cells Arabidopsis leaf epidermal cells have a wide range of sizes and ploidies, but the mechanisms patterning their size and spatial distribution remain unclear. This study shows that the pathway controllin...

Check out our story in @plosbiology.org about how a nonrandom, clustered giant cell pattern forms in the sepal and leaf epidermis! It has been a great journey with @gweissbart.bsky.social, Frances Clark, Xihang Wang, @roederlab.bsky.social and co-authors.
journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Why are leaf cells of so many different sizes?
Our paper explores how giant cells form!
We also provide automatic cell-type classification and perform statistical quantification of cell spatial organization.
If interested, check it out in @plosbiology.org. Thanks Pau and @roederlab.bsky.social

Lignin diversity helps plants thrive on land – without them, they become small, sterile plants that produce far less biomass. 🪴

Coincidentally, for our "Guns in Rosettes" article,we actively tried to use a more plain language for the exact reasons discussed in the editorial. Here are real Reviewer Comments:
"It sounds a bit immature"
"I find the tone too popular"
"This style may raises concern about the quality of the paper"

This Ultra-Limited Edition Six-Colored-LP Box Set included a full-length live-recording of Co-Author @spicybotrytis.bsky.social reading the entire thing while simultaneously providing color-commentary and criticism. There may even be a special appearance of Co-Author @tonnigrubeandersen.bsky.social!

A vinyl box with six colored vinyl LPs sticking out of its right side. The Title "Guns in Rosettes" is on top, with the subtitle "The Arabidopsis chemical weapons arsenal" just below. Then there is an Arabidopsis plant with machine guns sticking out. Below is the statement "6-LP LIMITED EDITION COLORED VINYL BOX SET"

The back cover of the vinyl box set showing the tracklist: 1. Methionine-derived compounds Aliphatic GSLs 2. Tryptophan-derived compounds (trptonites) Indolic GSLs Camalexin Hycanite (4-OH-ICN) 3. Phenylalanine-derived compounds (phenylpropanoids) Benzenic GSLs Coumarins Hydroxycinnamates Flavonoids 4. Terpenoids (E)-β-caryophyllene α- and β-pinene Thalianin, arabidin, and DMNT And the statement "Recorded live in front of an audience in 2025"
