Apoplastic barriers are essential for nodule formation and nitrogen fixation in Lotus japonicus Establishment of the apoplastic root barrier known as the Casparian strip occurs early in root development. In legumes, this area overlaps with nitrogen-fixing nodule formation, which raises the possi...

Finally!
Im so excited to present to culmination of many years of work from the fantastic Defeng Shen and some great collaborators. For details, I have made a digested thread below, but if you are more interested feel free to reach out (and read the paper of course).

Varvara Dikaya is sitting on a border wall of a platform that is reaching over a frozen river. She has dark curly hair and wears a blue jacket and hiking shoes, holding her hands around her bent right leg. It is a foggy winter day. On the right side, one can see some benches and trees through the fog.

🧪🌾 NEWS - How are cold responses regulated in plants?

PhD student Varvara Dikaya focussed on PORCUPINE, a protein involved in RNA splicing and found that the answer to this question is not simple.
