Interviews with synthetic biologists: Karsten Temme, Pivot Bio
BlogSynthetic biology is a set of tools, a way of thinking, the integration of engineering principles into biological sciences, and potentially the biggest opportunity for advances in plant sciences since PCR. Yet many struggle to define it, and fewer still grasp its full potential.
Now, four early-career…

Review: Connecting the pieces: uncovering the molecular basis for long-distance communication through plant grafting (New Phytol)
Plant Science Research Weekly
Grafting is an ancient vegetative asexual plant propagation technique. It is characterized by the connection of two plant segments, the shoot piece known as ‘scion’ and the root piece called ‘rootstock’ or simply 'stock'. Grafting is widely used in agriculture to improve crop production and…
Diverse metabolites across maize GWAS panel for dissecting maize genetic architecture (Plant Cell)
Plant Science Research WeeklyPlants can produce metabolites that are directly involved in various biological pathways. Identifying variations of specific metabolites in different genotypes would facilitate the understanding underlying complex genetic architecture of maize. One of most representative natural diversity panels, the…
