Cytoskeleton dynamics necessary for early events of lateral root initiation (Curr. Biol.)
Plant Science Research WeeklySymmetric cell division leads to proliferation, and asymmetric cell division establishes differential growth. Formation of lateral roots (LRs) depends on asymmetric division of initially symmetric founder cells. Barro et al. studied the mechanism of asymmetric radial expansion by analyzing cytoskeleton…
A KNOX-cytokinin regulatory module predates the origin of indeterminacy (Curr. Biol.)
Plant Science Research WeeklyIn vascular plants, new organs (e.g., leaves) are produced continuously from the shoot meristem, a process coined indeterminacy. The sister lineage of vascular plants, bryophytes, develop differently, ending with the formation of a determinate spore-bearing shoot (sporangium). The genetic underpinning…

WWR Full PostReview: Structural biology of cell surface receptor–ligand interactions
In recent months, a flurry of papers have come out that reveal new insights into the structural interactions of cell-surface receptors with each other and with their ligands. This timely review by Moussu and Santiago captures…

Describe your journey from student to newly appointed faculty
I grew up on the Iowa/Illinois border in the heart of the corn belt. Despite being surround by the golden waves of grain, I did not start working on plants until later in my career. My undergraduate degree was in Biomedical Engineering…
