Regular reminder that grasses are a monocot, but not all monocots are grasses. Stop the poatriarchy! 🌾🌴

Monocots are the best, but I'll give you that proper secondary growth is pretty rad(ial).

Our latest preprint! A deep learning framework that maps suberin, lignin and aerenchyma in both monocots and dicots! We present a collection of 1,695 fluorescent images. One surprise-the model works best when trained on both monocots + dicots! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
RADIX: a deep learning framework that maps root barriers across species and reveals genetic and environmental contributions
Root anatomical barriers, including the suberized and lignified walls of the endodermis and exodermis, and cortical aerenchyma, regulate water and nutrient transport, gas exchange, and rhizosphere int...

Happy to anounce this hot-of-the-press paper lead by Meng Zhou. We show how fine root traits vary with root anatomy in different root orders leading to distinct differences in trait coordination between monocots and dicots.

Anatomical trait variation across root orders shapes the distinct root economics space of herbaceous monocots and dicots
Monocots and dicots exhibited contrasting resource acquisition strategies: monocots showed consistent trait coordination across root orders, mediated by cortex proportion in the root cross-section, w...

I’ve been trying single cell sequencing/analyses of pathogen effector-targeted cells for 7+ years and finally got an approach to work across monocots and dicots with an awesome postdoc @alba-mp.bsky.social and collaborator Jonathan Jacobs at OSU. Friday’s are not all bad in the US.
