The QC. Everybody likes the QC. It plays an important part in regeneration. But, does it really? And what does it do exactly? academic.oup.com/jxb/advance…

Do old genes learn new tricks? Maybe not. This collaborative work with Zach Lippman group shows that the ancient homeobox WOX9, thought to have species-specific functions, actually has a common deeply conserved pleiotropic role. @CellCellPress . cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
I was sure that AI is good just for games like StarCraft II and DOTA 2... guess not :)

We had a beautiful hypothesis about how auxin triggers root regeneration. It flows down from the stele and because it can't flow back when you cut the root it forms a new auxin peak. A simple and beautiful self-repair mechanism. The only problem was that it was wrong...

Auxin transport vs auxin local biosynthesis after root tip is cut and regenerates.
A year a go when we were brainstorming an idea a colleague told me "nice story but where is the data", here it is. Done with humility by Yufei Sun and lots of friends. @HUJIAgri @HebrewU @Jan_de_Vries pnas.org/content/early/2019/…
