Thank you @BeatrizLagunas et al. for putting together the pieces between these related works as a 'nodemap' insight paper. I was excited to not only be featured by @JXBot but also to end up with my PhD advisor Jonathan Lynch - an honor

Its an honor but it was only possible because of the great group of people I work with. I have been so lucky.
Congratulations @SorgGuy . A very well deserved award recognising David's continued and fantastic contribution to the sorghum industry @AustSummerGrain @QAAFI

Our @Cornell and @Illinois_Alma team engineered tobacco to cheaply manufacture high-value proteins—starting with cellulase that is used to process food and produce #bioenergy—with no cost to yield.

One step closer to automating the collection of ground truth data. This robot independently collects leaf clamp ground truth measurements using data from TOF cameras. Paper now out, big thanks (and congrats) to Abbas, Yufeng, and Santosh of @UNL_BSE sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Molecular Mechanisms of Plant Regeneration (Ikeuchi et al., 2019) $: buff.ly/2wJlasW @AnnualReviews #plantsci

Many reprogramming regulators are epigenetically silenced during normal development but are activated by wound stress and/or hormonal cues.
