I am very pleased to present the lab’s first #bluetorial! This concerns our recent publication in Development @dev-journal.bsky.social doi.org/10.1242/dev.... This work, led by postdoc (and former grad student) Kelsey Reed, is the result of many years of hard work by a wonderful team. (1/n)
doi.org
A protoplast-based method to visualize early cell biological events in plant cellular reprogramming and regeneration
Summary: This study presents a live-imaging platform for tracking individual plant protoplasts in culture, enabling analysis of cellular processes, signaling dynamics and developmental transitions.

How do transcription factors bind DNA strongly, and in a switch like manner, while remaining sequence specific? Our new paper on a canonical plant TF suggests the answer is a previously underappreciated assembly state: transcription factor nanoclusters. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
science.org
Nanoclustering of a plant transcription factor enables strong yet specific DNA binding
Transcription factor nanoclusters balance the DNA binding trade-off between weakly binding oligomers and nonspecific condensates.

Our new Nat Plants paper introduces WALLΦ, a genetically encoded cell wall pH sensor, and reveals that root developmental zonation is independent of local cell wall pH. Wall pH supports growth at the organ level, but local growth patterns are governed by other mechanisms. doi.org/10.1038/s414...
