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!
