I was fortunate to have an excellent graduate school experience in the Chemical Engineering Department at Michigan State University. Under the mentorship of Tim Whitehead,…
tyRNA Bubbles: Extracellular Vesicles Carry 10–15-nt Small RNAs and Specific Groups of MicroRNAs
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefPlant and animal cells produce various types and sizes of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Mammalian EVs function in intercellular communication and plant EVs carry defense compounds, defense-related proteins, and RNAs and participate in the defense against fungal pathogens (reviewed in Hansen and Nielsen,…

Plants on (Brassinos)steroids: Degradation of the Transcription Factor BZR1 by the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase PUB40
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefBrassinosteroids (BR) are the only plant hormones with an animal counterpart: steroid hormones. Analysis of BR signaling demonstrated that steroid receptors could reside at the plasma membrane and modulate growth and gene expression, an observation that is now becoming appreciated in non-plant systems…
