We’re excited to announce the publication of The Plant Cell’s latest Teaching Tool, “A bioinformatics pipeline for exploring transcriptional regulation in plants,” by Amy Marshall-Colon, Mary Williams and Kranthi Varala, available without subscription at Plantae.org. It is difficult to conceptualize genome-wide transcriptional regulation and even more challenging to organize, analyze, and visualize data at this […]

Looking at a typical plant, you may not notice that it is moving. Although generally perceived as static, all plants are dynamic, as shown by time-lapse photography. Plant Tracer is the first App-based tool that enables students and scientists to quantify plant movement (circumnutation and gravitropism) from time-lapse movies using their hand-held devices (iPhones). Plant Tracer is being used […]

We have been charged by ASPB to conduct a search for the next Editor-in-Chief of The Plant Cell. Back in March of this year, we began the search process by meeting as a group to discuss potential candidates for this important role. We invited candidates and issued a call for nominations to the community. CVs […]
