Gene Editing, naturally!
Glad to share the results of our survey of consumers and farmers in Finland regarding their views of Gene Editing. The concept of "naturalness" turned out to be important. #geneediting #biotechnology #genomics

Happy to see this out and for the opportunity to contribute!! The puzzle of Asteraceae inflorescence development jumps one step forward (a big step 😅) 🌻
Scheme of meristem development in maize embryos, highlighting the expression domains of key regulatory genes.
The Cereal Stem Cell Systems Consortium published a comprehensive review in Plant Cell on how meristems shape cereal architecture.
If you are not a fan of cereals except for breakfast, your teaching will still benefit from the amazing figures!

Are you a professor or assistant professor level researcher in the US or elsewhere outside of Finland? Looking for new opportunities in an inspiring and well-connected research environment? Finland might be just the place for you.
Reach out to Finnish universities to explore what’s possible.
Two fantastic positions in #plantscience: A junior AND a senior group leader position at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI), part of @viennabiocenter.bsky.social. Generous core funding, fantastic plant and non-plant colleagues, all in a very livable and beautiful city.

(1/5) Thanks for sharing this article, Deepak. It's a must read, in my opinion. Some key parts from this article as a thread 🧵

Hakemuksen käsittelyprosessi Akatemiassa: hakija jättää hakemuksen verkkoasiointiin, akatemian tiedeasiantuntijat käsittelevät hakemuksen, kansainvälinen asiantuntijapaneeli antaa tieteellisen arvion hakemuksesta, luottamuselin tekee rahoituspäätöksen paneelin arvion ja tutkimuspoliittisten linjausten perusteella, hanke käynnistyy.
Suomen Akatemian talvihaussa on arvioinnin aika. Tällä viikolla ohjelmassa oli peräti 13 kahden päivän arviointipaneelia. Se on henkilöstömääräämme nähden tosi paljon. Mutta kun kone on hyvin rasvattu, kaikki toimii.
Mitä hakemusten jättämisen jälkeen on tähän mennessä tapahtunut?

Lähimetsät eivät ole vain kauniita maisemia, vaan tutkitusti elintärkeitä terveydellemme ja hyvinvoinnillemme.
Kun metsä tuhotaan, sitä ei saada enää takaisin sukupolviin.
Olen allekirjoittanut vetoomuksen lähimetsien säilyttämisen puolesta.

A vision for Arabidopsis research in 2030. Computational models created by integrating large ‘omics data using AI would inform experiments in Arabidopsis that could be translated to crop species, especially in the context of climate change. Mechanisms unique to crop species (or coopted by pathogens or parasitic plants) could be elucidated with the help of Arabidopsis. MASC would support accessibility and diversity in conferences and other equity issues, and would help to coordinate research efforts between Arabidopsis and crop researchers/agronomists from around the world.

Spatial cell clusters based on the expression of 99 genes analyzed by smFISH at three stages of wheat spike development.
Expression profiles of genes differentially expressed during spikelet development.
We’re excited to share our new preprint on wheat spike development! We used spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq to take a closer look at the different cell types and expression domains during key developmental stages of the wheat spike. Check it out here:
