I just received this lovely Arabidopsis mug celebrating my 5 years of service on the North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee (@naascarabidopsis.bsky.social).

@plosbiology.org Thanks for the nice highlight of our paper on the website.

Happy Halloween! Our lab door decorations show our research experimenting on us.

We learned a lot about plant cell wall mechanics by stretching the Arabidopsis epidermis. Now published in

Roeder lab reunion!

Check out our Timeline of discovery and innovation in Arabidopsis! From the early days starting the field to modern applications. So much fun with Catherine Freed, @naascarabidopsis.bsky.social,

DR5 is a favorite auxin reporter. In @natcomms.nature.com we show DR5 expression is stochastic, exhibiting both intrinsic and extrinsic noise. We put two different color DR5 reporters in the same plant and see stochasticity. Congrats Shuyao Kong, Byron Rusnak, and Mingyuan Zhu rdcu.be/emNVQ

Check out the beautiful cover to our focus issue on Translational research from Arabidopsis to crop plants and beyond. More articles coming shortly. Congrats Patrice Salome and @jotlovell.bsky.social. @theplantcell.bsky.social academic.oup.com/plcell/issue...
