🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the resulting daughter cells identical? Using live-cell imaging and scRNA seq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. @TNPlantBio @NemanjaVukas @CheweiHsu16 Read our full paper in Cell doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.…

🌱 Thrilled to see our latest collaborative work with @jennyrussinova @NemanjaVukas @CheweiHsu16 in @CellCellPress! By combining single-cell RNA-seq and live imaging, we uncovered previously hidden brassinosteroid signaling states. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.…

Join us for this exciting series on plant cell types and states! We have an excellent lineup of speakers to stimulate discussion around these topics. @NatanellaE @RachelMShahan @KenBirnbaum @acantopastor @Marand_Lab @jwalley @JustinWWalley @KeikoUTorii @kaisakajala @molivarina
Introducing the Plant Cell Identity Webinar Series hosted by the PCA! Starting November 12th, this series discusses how to define plant cell types and states quantitatively and qualitatively using single-cell and spatial omics approaches. Register today: bit.ly/PCAPCI_Webinar

My postdoctoral work is published online today! Thanks to Dr. Lucia Strader(@LabStrader) for the excellent mentorship. Big thanks to all my colleagues who supported my work. Thanks to Dr. Philip Benfey and Dr. Guy Wachsman for all the suggestions to improvise the manuscript.
What regulates plant de novo organogenesis? Led by postdoc Suresh Damodaran, we discover that not all hypocotyl cells are equally competent to create a new root meristem after excision of the primary root. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jTSe…

I’m LOVING this beautiful conference sign I commissioned from the talented @Kerri_Gilbert for ICAR starting the 15th! She even added a shadow on the beach for him 💕 Araby runner by @jinsliferxiv
