![Fig. 2.Localization of RS2Z proteins in all vegetative and reproductive organs. Translational fusions are expressed in seed coat (A/a), embryo (B/b), hypocotyl (C/c), and cotyledons (D/d), 2-week-old root epidermis (E/e) including root hairs (F/f), leaf epidermis (G/g–I/i) including trichomes (G/g and H/h) and stomata (I/i), immature floral bud (including sepals, petals, stamens, and pistil) (J/j), mature gynoecium (valves, stigma, and style) (K/k), mature androecium (anther and filament) (L/l), pollen grains [(M/m and N/n), arrow], ovules (O/o), and funiculi [(O/o), arrow], petals (including veins) (P/p) and sepals (including veins) (Q/q). Red signals represent chlorophyll autofluorescence. At least three independent T3 homozygous lines were generated and analyzed, revealing similar fluorescence profiles.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ggz22gcwkakll7efac23g33s/bafkreibhelpcpqlrctcub7vqjtoble6zkgrop2wiu4mekifnsqhay4pwoq@jpeg)

Broad application of plant protein tagging with ALFA tag for nanobody-based imaging and biochemical approaches
Epitope tags are broadly used for detecting, modifying or purifying proteins of interest, but their breadth of application is often rather poor. Recently, the rationally designed ALFA tag and its ALFA...

My proposal was one of 1,966 submitted in the MSCA-LIF (Life Sciences) section this year. Despite my initial doubts, I am beyond thrilled to have been awarded this grant.
I am truly honored to have incredible supervisors who guide me in the right direction.

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇
