Highly recommended!!!

The mechanical properties of Arabidopsis thaliana roots adapt dynamically during development and to stress Brillouin microscopy reveals in vivo dynamics of mechanical properties during plant development and response to stress.

Our work now on its final version. We mapped the mechanical properties of roots at tissue and single cell levels using Brillouin microscopy and molecular rotors. Additional mutants and stress measurements from what we previously showed in the preprint are included.

Je ne sais pas comment dire autrement les choses que comme ça : la République va observer une minute de silence en l'honneur du militant d'un mouvement de factieux royalistes, identitaires et antisémites qui ont juré sa perte voilà plus d'un siècle.

If your one true love is plant photobiology, then we have the symposium for you! 💚🌱

1 fav, 1 funny, strange, or unexpected scientific anecdote about a paper, a scientist, a fact, hoping that some will be new to you.

This is unfortumately very true! I know too many stories, too and have not done enough. A toxic environment burns creativity, passion and enthusiasm and we damage and loose talented minds. I share your anger Katharine (at the system and myself) We all need to do better!

By contrast, in Growth of the Soil the main character, Izak, encapsulates the nobility of the working man, exuding the sweat and toil reminiscent of the Nazi slogan Blut und Boden (“Blood and Soil”) and so impressed the Nazis that the book was distributed to the soldiers fighting in Norway. Joseph Goebbels admired the book so much he invited Hamsun and his wife Marie to Berlin in May 1943 and in return for such agreeable hospitality Hamsun gave Goebbels his Nobel medal

Do you know who else was gifted a Nobel Prize medal?

Joseph Goebbels.

Seriously.

Transcriptional dynamics and chromatin accessibility in the regulation of shade-responsive genes in Arabidopsis - Genome Biology Background Open chromatin regions host DNA regulatory motifs that are accessible to transcription factors and the transcriptional machinery. In Arabidopsis, responses to light are heavily regulated at...
