A growing reputation for FRUITFULL genes
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefThe sub-functionalization and neo-functionalization of duplicated MADS-domain containing transcription factor coding genes has driven angiosperm evolution. These transcription factors control almost every facet of reproductive development in plants and are key breeding targets for crop yield improvement.…
Plant Girl Comics
BlogCreated by Ruth (Jean Ae) Kim as part of the ASPB Conviron Scholars Program
For my independent project, I decided to make a series of comics about a character called Plant Girl. I am hoping this makes plant biology accessible for young children to young adults in a fun way! The first chapter is about…

Describe your journey from student to newly appointed faculty
I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Leeds, then moved to the University of York to do my PhD with Ottoline Leyser. I really enjoyed my PhD, but decided I didn’t want to work on auxin any more (famous last…
Of storage and stems: examining the role of stem water storage in plant water balance

Stems of land plants provide mechanical support and long-distance transport of water and carbohydrates. Although it has long been recognized that plant stems can also store water, it remains…
How to pack chromatin in nuclear space? A plant-specific chromatin regulator associates with component of the nuclear periphery
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a Nutshellhttps://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.18.00663
Mikulski et al. find that the PWO chromatin regulator interacts with a structural component of the nuclear periphery.

The Future is Now: Gene Expression Dynamics at Single Cell Resolution
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefFor the past 10 years, a popular method to study global gene expression changes has been RNA sequencing of bulk tissues. However, an inherent limitation of this approach is the confounding of multiple cell types or multiple developmental stages. By contrast, new technologies enable transcriptional profiling…
