Graphical abstract that visually shows the workflow with photos of each step. The steps show the plant growth and bacterial growth steps: 1. Preparation of rhizobia and seedlings for spot inoculation. 2. Root zone marking and precise bacterial droplet application. 3. Incubation in EdU medium to label DNA replication. 4. Sample fixation and replicated DNA labelling 5. Tissue clearing and cell wall staining

Powerful new protocol from @kathschiessl.bsky.social's lab to trigger & visualise earliest stages of symbiotic root nodule formation in Medicago truncatula — no genetic reporters needed means broad species application!

We’re in Gent for #icar2025! Looking forward to a fantastic program, catching up with colleagues , and meeting new friends! #arabidopsis #community

It‘s about to start - such an amazing venue for #ICAR2025

Excited for #ICAR2025 icar2025.com. Come join us at the workshop on Heterogeneity in plants. See you soon in Ghent! #PlantScience

Our exhibit at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is open!

Come and see what Sainsbury Laboratory scientists get up to and have a go at:

🐝 seeing like a bee using a mini-UV camera
🌺 photographing a flower under a scanning electron microscope
💪 discovering how plants move without muscles

We are thrilled to have been awarded a silver-gilt medal at our first Chelsea Flower Show! 🪻

An enormous thank you to everyone who contributed to this success - @eng.cam.ac.uk, Darwin Nurseries and Oakington Garden Centre!

A grey coloured Arabidopsis leaf epidermis, with black cell walls. Each cells has a colourful blobs - a nuclear localised fluorescent ABA sensor, with warm colours indicating high concentrations, and cooler colours indicating lower concentrations.

The Rowe lab is recruiting a #PlantScience PhD student for 2025! You'll use our new ABACUS FRET biosensors to map the leaf #AbscisicAcid accumulations at low humidity in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice to understand how ABA regulates stomatal dynamics. #PhDposition

Abundant clock proteins point to missing molecular regulation in the plant circadian clock | Molecular Systems Biology imageimage~100,000 copies of plant circadian clock proteins per cell were predicted from RNA levels and included in detailed models. Protein levels and DNA-binding were validated, using NanoLUC report...

Abundant clock proteins point to missing regulation in the plant circadian clock www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... first experimental determination of the abundance of transcription factors in Plants and for the circadian clock. It was such a challenge but finally out after peer review !!!

Our recent review on Thiourea-Catalyzed Glycosylation

Using genome-scale and developmental genetic approaches, Katharina Schiessl (pictured) will characterise the regulatory pathways and cellular processes that underpin the initiation and differentiation of root-related organs associated with the accommodation of beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria and parasitic root knot nematodes. Image of Dr Schiessl with SLCU lab in background and overlay of images taken by Katharina showing various stages of root nodule development.

We are delighted to announce that Katharina Schiessl
will head a new research group at @slcuplants focused on understanding how organ diversity of plants can be reshaped by their colonisers - plant #galls and root #nodules! Read about her exciting research plans www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/news/dr-kath...
