Our latest work (pre-print) on cytokinin is out. We think it is a cool story, hopefully others will as well. #cytokinin #Arabidopsis

Do people get annoyed when there is a new manuscript published about a gene that you named and work on that does not cite any of your papers on the topic or excited that the work you started has advanced enough that you do need to be cited?

Was great to hear chloroplast talks and see my student Risheek do great in his first large meeting talk.

You know that thing when you are starting a new project and exploring the regulated genes, then you find a gene that you don't know regulated by what you work on. Then you look up the reference for it and it is your own paper from ~20 years ago. Yeah, that happened today. - A real full circle event

Forgot to add the Graphical Abstract for - Khanna et al 2025 - that sums up the questions we asked in this paper at a Physiological, Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and Cytokinin Hormone level.

These are the types of reviews with commentary (Unanswered questions) that I really like seeing, as they combine expert opinions with what we don't know - and should be working on!
