I’m very happy to share that next year I’m launching the Meristem Hydraulics Group. We will be at the @umeaplantsciencecentre.se (Sweden) & the University of Helsinki (Finland) @helsinki.fi
Here is a brief description of our research interests:

Finally get to squeeze some squirting cucumbers (Ecballium elaterium) IRL 🤩 The name derives from phenomenon that the ripe fruits squirting a stream of mucilaginous liquid containing its seeds as a dispersal mechanism. This vid here is a slow-mo! #iamabotanist #plantjoy #plantsciences 🧪🌾🌱🥒

Someone got Cas9-Turbo to work. It's like basically Y1H but with proteomics. It however requires transgenic plant expressing Cas9-Turbo and gRNAs, which is still cumbersome for many plants that are not Arabidopsis. #PlantSciences

What really amazes is how different TFs in the same family can bind different target promoters despite nearly identical binding motifs. #PlantSciences
Many transcription factor families have evolutionarily conserved binding motifs in plants @andreabraeutigam.bsky.social academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...

The discoveries made in #plantsciences are often overlooked until similar findings are made in humans/animals.
It’s commonly thought that Louis Pasteur first showed that microbes cause disease. In fact it was M. Joseph Berkeley in 1846, who first showed that a fungus-like microbe probably caused late blight disease of potato-almost 20 years before Louis Pasteur formally proposed the germ theory of disease. 🧪
