It's been great to virtually host Alex Eve @amjeve.uk, from the Company of Biologists @biologists.bsky.social today at the RDP @rdplab.bsky.social for a wonderful webinar on scientific publishing and the different forms we scientists have to contribute to a fairer system 📣

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! #PlantScience @johninnescentre.bsky.social

VEL-dependent polymerization maintains the chromatin association of Polycomb proteins for the switch to epigenetic silencing
Schulten et al. show that VEL polymerization domains produce higher-order protein assemblies to maintain chromatin association of Polycomb proteins, enabling a stable epigenetic switch at the floral r...

1/4 Through an exciting industry–academic collaboration, our new Perspective sets the stage for the next phase of hybrid wheat research. 🌾 We focus on floral biology traits that can increase cross-fertilisation in self-pollinating wheat — paving the way for more effective hybrid seed production.
