Question for #plantscience #plantsynbio: has anyone tried any version of the dTAG system in a plant? Curious if the small molecule component is absorbed properly 🤔. #dTAG #synbio
#plantsynbio peeps, has anyone played around with cell penetrating peptides? some of the papers look fairly convincing for delivery of DNA e.g. 10.1021/acs.biomac.8b00323. but am curious why not used more widely. Viruses and agro are just easier for most applications?

I am happy to be one of the instructors for the #PlantSynbio course here in Evora.
We are not only teaching the plantsynbio core principles, but also do a practical lab part together, where we do a plant promoter comparison via transient Ruby reporter expression 🌱

Today I had the chance to kickstart the #Plantsynbio course by @synbio4allafrica.bsky.social.
I was very excited to give the "Introduction to Plant Synthetic Biology" lecture and at the same time blown away by the engagement of the african community!
Stay tuned for the next weeks of the course!

I am very happy to see this work published. It took a lot of effort and coordination among many people.
Hopefully, high throughput and cheap Agrobacterium transformation will reduce the bottleneck in screening experiments fundamental for #PlantSynBio.

- Engineering plants takes decades
- ~100 person years to prototype
- screening 100s of events.
- Camelina - only crop can transform by floral dip
- very likely most T-DNAs are multimetized

After an incredible chapter at the Erb lab in Marburg, I'm deeply grateful for all I’ve learned over the years. Excited to announce my new journey as a postdoc in the Brophy Lab @Stanford! My first weeks have been amazing with a warm welcome. Thrilled to dive into #plantsynbio in the coming years! 🌱

Very proud moment - Ignacio - labs first grad student successfully passed his prelims today. He's been excellent. Hopefully there will be some exciting work coming out in the next few years #plantsynbio
Fantastic work @c-mcclune.bsky.social - tour de force - particularly like the innovative single cell transcriptomic perturb-seq. Looks to be powerful generalizable approach for non-model species. 17 gene pathway for taxol precursor synthesis in heterologous host #plantsynbio #plantsci

Fascinating paper on the design, construction, and testing of a synthetic chromosome arm in moss. It appears that Physco is an excellent model organism for synthetic genomes in plants, thanks to its proficiency in homologous recombination. #Plantsynbio
