Introduction Artificial Intelligence has long been widely used in biological research, with huge contributions in structural biology, image analysis, and genomics. Generative AI, however…

The development of the 3D shape of an is complex, and the contributions of underlying pathways are difficult to untangle. Battu et al. decouple the organ size and organ shape by conducting a thorough…

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Wellcome Trust project led by Dr Miguel Montez and hosted within the Dodd Group at the John Innes Centre.

I am excited to announce the release of our event carbon calculator, our latest resource to support the creation of sustainable events. Estimate your

Stochasticity is an important feature of genes, allowing for variability in their abundance and activity prior to ‘fine-tuning’ at later periods of development. Kong et al. describe this feature in…

A recent study by Vardanega et al. focuses on the development of the unique barley inflorescence architecture and unveils key molecular controls underlying meristematic determinacy. The CLAVATA3/

an insightful and inspiring discussion on the sustainability challenges faced by modern scientists…

Light is a powerful signal, shaping plant development and growth. However, the cellular mechanisms that translate light signals into precise developmental responses are still being unravelled.

As global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and food security intensify…

We're celebrating the release of #pint25 tickets with this special event. Explore the fascinating world of nature’s rhythms, sounds and roles. Discover how…

Plants need to develop and grow within their environment whilst defending themselves against potential external threats. There are limited resources for these energy-intensive processes and so cross…

Most shapes in plant organs are pre-determined at the primordial stage and from this point, growth will establish and maintain this shape. Rarely will re-shaping of an organ occur post-organogenesis.

New results shed light on how two transcription factors work together to control body size during the development of Caenorhabditis elegans larvae.

The Decline of Classical Botany Though many of us may recognize the word ‘botany’, we may also associate it with dusty books and 18th century science. ‘Botany’ is not used frequently in our…

By Kestrel Maio and Kristel-June Sartagoda, Student Culture Team For the past year, the students at the NBI have been working hard to ensure that our work environment and culture is conducive to su…

9 December 2024 by Jeroen Dobbelaere With a growing interest in sustainability in academia, we need to help the biological community embrace these practices within their lab. This is the first of six…
