We're looking for a postdoc to join us in trying to map the routes by which different signals travel through plants and identify what information they carry. Link👇or get in touch! @johninnescentre.bsky.social

Our Plant Proteins meeting has begun! Starting the day with his 2025 Early Career Research Award Lecture, Dr Tatsuya Nobori discussed the development of PHYTOMap, a novel method for multiplexed single-cell 3D spatial gene expression analysis in whole-mount plant tissues.
Oh Nacho - that's very kind of you to say... I hope I continue to live up to that!
You can ask my students about how annoying the fist pumping and/or welling up after their conference talks gets. 😬
Today for #AdaLovelaceDay, which celebrates the achievements of women in STEM, read about the 10 most influential women in British science history, as chosen by leading female scientists: #WomenInSTEM royalsociety.org/about-us/who...
Sure, happy to take a look!
This is betalain? ~550 Da? Is it in the cytosol? If soluble, I would expect it would pass through plasmodesmata in Arabidopsis. We can help you check if you want.
New pre-print from the team!
The manuscript is @emma-raven.bsky.social's PhD work showing that whether a leaf is a carbon sink or a carbon source influences how they execute immune responses.
Have a read!

For sure great news for plant science, but it's actually *even better* news because you missed at least one! @tinaschreier.bsky.social
This is a fantastic talk by Chris Hawes @nhm-london.bsky.social.
He speaks about #PlantMicroscopy in particular, but also the History of #Microscopy.
