We are very excited to share a new resource from our team: spatial subcellular proteome maps in plants! We developed an MS-based method that registers localizations of about 8000 proteins in Arabidopsis roots in a single experiment.

Our new preprint is live!🎉
Cytosolic factors govern vimentin network architecture and mechanics. Cytosolic components shape vimentin IF networks & mechanics - beyond minimal reconstitutions.
On bioRxiv now!

Paper alert: Our study led by @evapillai.bsky.social and @sudimukherjee.bsky.social showing that mechanical properties of the #brain actively shape the molecular landscape during development and #axonpathfinding is finally out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... @pdncambridge.bsky.social @fau.de @MPZPM
Thank you, Arif! Hope we can catch up in a meeting anytime soon!
Thank you, Juan! Congratulations on your new position, too! 😄
Thank you, Nathan!
A new chapter begins! From February, I’ll be joining the @tum.de as an Independent Group Leader in the Chair of Plant Systems Biology. Beyond excited for this next step, while feeling very grateful (and a little sad) to be leaving the @schaedellab.bsky.social 🔬🌱
Hey #plantsci, have your experiments led to a negative result? These important findings are worth publishing to push scientific knowledge forward! @plosone.org is focussed on scientific rigour rather than impact, and selfishly I would LOVE to see more #plantscience each day :D #PhDchat #ECRchat 🌿🧪🔬💚

PME5 is sequestered in the nucleus and released during cytokinesis allowing its activity to be timed with cell division.

How fast do plants actually grow? And which growth processes matter most for organ size?
We dived into 176 papers, extracted and re-analyzed the data so you don’t have to!

Why plant embryos do not differentiate stomata? Discovery of the key peptide hormone. Embryo-specific peptide EPFL8, perceived by ERECTA, inhibits SPCH in a TMM-independent manner. Excellent work by the Torii Lab alumnus, Prof. Xingyun Qi. Congrats🌱🔬!

Excited to share this preprint on the microtubule severing protein Katanin, and its role in cell elongation and division in maize. First author Stephanie Martinez worked collaboratively with many folks to bring you this preprint. Check it out! 🔬🌽 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Have you ever wondered how microtubules withstand and respond to mechanical stress in cells?
Here we show by in vitro reconstitution assays that MAP65-1 and PRC1 promote microtubule nucleation on existing lattices, especially on those with structural irregularities linked to mechanical stress.
Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9)

Fresh from the @schaedellab.bsky.social 🔬
@fritzlaylin.bsky.social et al. propose a simple way to highlight both experimental #reproducibility & cell-to-cell variation, while avoiding pitfalls common in analysis of cell biology data rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Happy to share that our paper on Tau- Microtubule interaction is now published in Nature Physics!🥳
We show that Tau isn’t just a microtubule stabiliser - it promotes removal of defects in the microtubule lattice.
Congratulations @subhambiswas.bsky.social!

The BM^2 Lab is hiring a Ph.D. student to work on a variety of problems connected to modeling of morphogenesis in plants (i.e. ovule curvature formation, fixed handedness establishment in certain plant organs and its link to cell wall mechanics).
Please share!
🌱✂️ How do plant cells decide where to divide?
Our work shows that actin can override the geometric rules—guiding cells to divide in alternative orientations.
