Check out our new preprint with a stellar set of Gateway-compatible vectors for the soybean composite plant system (and likely others!). Effector/plant gene function analysis, root localization, and molecular-plant microbe interaction investigation just got a lot more accessible!

i think one of my biggest personal goals in science is to be given the honor of naming a new gene, and then giving it the stupidest name i can think of for posterity

just tried my first fresh fig off my impulse-buy tree. surprisingly good! i always assumed they’d taste like fig newtons which are kinda gross, but no. now i need fancier varieties 🀣
