It is always great to see former members of the lab succeed in their subsequent scientific careers.

Cool paper from former PhD student Ajeet Chaudhary and colleagues in the Wang lab on maintaining cell wall integrity signaling during cell expansion.

Congratulations Dr. Tejasvinee A. Mody! Having experienced her firsthand during the past four years she has spent in my lab, I expected nothing less. Teja did an extraordinary job in her PhD exam and graduated with the highest possible grade (summa cum laude).

Taking the train up Rigi this morning in order to enjoy the fog that's been present the past few days. The cog train has only just started climbing and it's already worth it.

Only 1h40 from home to the summit by public transport!

I wrote a little #lignin #plantbiology perspective article entirely in #rstats #Quarto a while back (https://leonardblaschek.github.io/assets/2024_JAFC/index.html) and had a blast. I ran into a couple of bugs along the way, but the quarto team was lightning fast in fixing them.

The only thing I'm still wrapping my head around is efficient co-writing with colleagues not using git. Any better ideas than rendering to .docx and manually copying track changes into the source file?

Nice work by Bertran Garcia de Olalla et.al. on the control of shape change of the SAM that happens during floral transition..

Coordination of shoot apical meristem shape and identity by APETALA2 during floral transition in Arabidopsis - Nature Communications

Bertran Garcia de Olalla, Cerise and colleagues discovered that the transcription factor APETALA2 has a dual role at the shoot tip of Arabidopsis, where it both mediates changes in the timing of flowering and in the morphology of the shoot apex.

One more result of a great interdisciplinary collaboration. We are excited to announce that the Go-Nuclear segmentation method is now published online in Development. Segmentation of 3D nuclei has been a challenge, but with the Go-Nuclear models of Stardist and PlantSeg, it is now possible to reliably segment nuclei from confocal microscopic images.
