In this picture, the studied gene is mainly active in the stomata: cells in the outer layer of the leaf that are responsible for the regulation of gas exchange between the plant and the environment.
We're proud to share that we have incorporated a state-f-the-art 'spatial transcriptomics' platform in our research facilities: the Merscope by @vizgen.bsky.social. To be used in e.g. innovative research on the interaction between plants & fungi for crop improvement. www.keygene.com/keygene-to-d...

Art by Anna Dumitriu, inspired by faba bean research at KeyGene
Art and science are a nice team in communicating about science. Scientists inspire artists, and the other way around! Here's a nice example: Anna Dumitriu, earlier 'artist in residence' at KeyGene, will talk about faba bean at Norfolk & Norwich festival in May. nnfestival.org.uk/whats-on/art...
Good, thank you! I (Erik Toussaint) have shared your message with Marcel
