Such a cool genetic dissection of the repeated origins and losses of plant prickles 📌 Now on @biorxivpreprint. Well done Jack and everyone involved!

🎸🌹 Rock out with science! Just like an 80s hair band hit with a twist, we're diving into a biological enigma that's sure to strike a chord. Every rose has its prickle... or does it? Read the latest from the Lippman lab team and fantastic collaborators. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Convergent evolution of plant prickles is driven by repeated gene co-option over deep time

An enduring question in evolutionary biology concerns the degree to which episodes of convergent trait evolution depend on the same genetic programs, particularly over long timescales. Here we...

New from Lippman Lab and recent PhD grad Dani Ciren on bioRxiv: “A striking paradox is that genes with conserved protein sequence, function and expression pattern over deep time often exhibit extremely divergent cis-regulatory sequences.” More inside… biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A striking paradox is that genes with conserved protein sequence, function and expression pattern over deep time often exhibit extremely divergent cis -regulatory sequences. It remains unclear how...

Please RT. My lab at @CSHL is recruiting a Postdoc to investigate how a plant's environment regulates its growth and development. More information is in the ad below.

Happy 121st Birthday to Barbara McClintock...a beloved member of the CSHL family, one of the most influential geneticists of the 20th century, and winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (the first woman to win that prize unshared!) cshl.edu/barbara-mcclintock-…

Barbara McClintock: Free to discover | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

Barbara McClintock missed an important call on the morning of October 10, 1983. She had chosen “to be free” of the interruptions that came with owning a telephone, and so it was her students and...

The new greenhouse tech utilized by CSHL plant biologist @UllasPedmale & team at Uplands Farm is just the kind of blue-sky thinking that could allow scientists to “climate-proof” plants to mitigate the effects of extreme weather on agriculture.@PercivalSci cshl.edu/new-cshl-technology…

When plants have to fight their neighbors for better access to the sunlight, they stunt root growth to focus on getting taller. Assistant Prof @UllasPedmale and his lab found the proteins responsible for this stunted growth. cshl.edu/why-roots-dont-grow…

Why roots don’t grow in the shade | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

When a plant finds itself in too much shade, it redirects its resources to reach for light. Crop yield and root development stall as the plant focuses on growing taller, striving to rise above...

Plant cells like to hide their secrets behind thick walls, but we have a solution(of enzymes) for that! In one of our most challenging labs ever, protoplasting pro @Xiaosa_Xu of the Jackson @MaizeMeristem lab guides us on our quest to single-cell sequence maize roots! #FTPS22

The beauty of plants inspires our art, culture, and even our science! Rob Martienssen guides us through Barbara McClintock’s historic studies on transposons as well as his own lab’s discoveries in plant epigenetics. Featuring a rare look at McClintock’s original colorful corn!

Fell in love with this story from the day I set foot in Ullas' lab. So glad to see @LindbackLouise's and the team's hard work paid off. 🌱 💙 ☀️

Happy to share @LindbackLouise's paper in @CurrentBiology, in which we demonstrate that UBP12 & UBP13 deubiquitinases control CRY2 photoreceptor levels by stabilizing COP1 E3 ligase. cell.com/current-biology/ful… @fudge_jared @AnneKnowlton1

What do plants have to do with cancer? Assistant Prof @UllasPedmale and his lab found that manipulating certain proteins that control the levels of photoreceptors can change how plants grow, which could also have implications in cancer research. cshl.edu/what-shedding-light…
