Physicists say they have successfully demonstrated via high-resolution simulations that a DNA molecule can in principle behave like an Archimedes screw in nanoscale. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4wD1naB
Took me a while, but we finally have a new lab website: ydagdas-lab.github.io/Lab-Website/ I will do my best to keep this one up to date.

3 days left to save science from fascist takeover! Public comments are how we fight back, submit yours here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... @standupforscience.net has an awesome guide to help you write one: www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-a... #science #savescience 🧪
A little behind the scenes. Thanks @stephbornemann.bsky.social for the great setup and editing!
The Sainsbury LaboratoryWhat happens when plants are attacked by microbes, and how do they defend themselves without specialised or mobile immune cells?

I attended a really inspiring talk by Jose Dinneny today as the Thornton-Massa speaker at Colorado State University. His vision for the future of agriculture with synthetic biology was really thought-provoking. It’s great to learn AND get inspired! @josedinneny.bsky.social @csuagbio.bsky.social

✨ Paper spotlight ✨ #Lithium in plants nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (🧵 1/6) This #TansleyReview presents emerging insights into lithium’s role in #plants. Once thought to mimic sodium, lithium is now known to use distinct transport mechanisms and uniquely affect enzymes and DNA.

Plant Science Research Weekly -- Review: Plant receptor-like kinases sense extrinsic and host-derived signals and shape the microbiome (Cell Host Microbe) @carahaney.bsky.social @jumpy-botanist.bsky.social (Summary by Mary Williams @PlantTeaching.bsky.social) buff.ly/0uZR93w #PlantaePSRW
Review: Plant receptor-like kinases sense extrinsic and host-derived signals and shape the microbiome | PlantaePlant genomes contain hundreds of genes encoding receptor-like kinases (RLKs), which are membrane-spanning proteins with an extracellular perception domain and an intracellular signaling domain.buff.ly
Looking for some clarity in the labyrinth of terms regarding lateral root initiation (priming, founder cell specification, pre-branch sites, oscillation zone, root clock,...)? Here is our new paper hopefully bringing some light in the darkness: track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...
Marker-assisted in vivo imaging reveals pre-patterning events prior to lateral root organogenesisThe branching pattern of the Arabidopsis root is established as early as in the distal tip of the primary root.track.smtpsendmail.com
We are pleased to announce that @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social has been awarded the RKS Wood Prize 2026 by the @bspp.bsky.social. “I am humbled to have been awarded the RKS Wood Prize 2026. I’d like to thank my research group and my TSL colleagues for their inspiration and support.” buff.ly/VvoR27Q

New preprint from the lab. We mapped the dynamics of phospholipids during lateral root formation and show that PI(4,5)P₂ plays a key role: targeted reduction in pericycle promotes LR development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Jie Huang ( #PlantChemetics lab) and I wrote a dispatch on Zhang et al.'s work (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) describing a #protease effector that cleaves the extracellular domain of a plant receptor-like kinase, and it's none other than BAK1! Enjoy! authors.elsevier.com/a/1ldGk3QW8S...
