It is my great pleasure to announce ggPlantmap (github.com/leonardojo/ggPlan…), an open-source R package to create ggplot maps from plant images. Now, you can create beautiful plant heatmaps to be visualized and modified in a R coding environment.

I'm super excited to join the Plant Stress Resilience group chaired by Rashmi Sasidharan. My research will focus on understanding how the interaction between transcription factors and chromatin states shape plant environmental responses.

Fresh PRE-PRINT!🚨🧐
We present SeedMatExplorer: an extensive transcriptome atlas underlying the acquisition of multiple seed quality traits during Arabidopsis seed maturation.

Important thread on using ANOVA in R!!!
The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

The last chapter of my dissertation is finally out @PNASNews
pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…
Here, we report the first genome-wide binding characterization of WRINKLED1 TF, the central regulator of lipid biosynthesis in seeds. We hope it will be useful for the seed/oil community!

So happy to be part of an amazing and supportive group!
It has been a journey to put this paper together, and I want to congratulate all the co-first authors @leonardojo @plantscifyi Sara Buti and @riannekluck, and the collaborators @acantopastor @bradylabs! 🥂🎉🥳 (5/5)

🧨Pre-print alert!🧨
We investigated the role of three TFs in tomato 🍅exodermis suberin, and we found some MYB/WRKY antagonism! doi.org/10.1101/2024.08.29.6… (1/5)

This is beautiful!
Thinking about doing a postdoc? Wondering what we do all day?? @chris_zie @sofiavanmoorsel and I tracked over 19 months (!) of work & compared it to our junior postdoc data from 6 yrs ago - check out our article! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat elisagranato.com/days-in-the…

First part of @LILINGE6468's PhD work is now out in @PPLplantarum! Evaluation of the roles of brassinosteroid, gibberellin and auxin for tomato internode elongation in response to low red:far-red light.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
ALT Figure 1 from the paper. Tomato Moneymaker (MM) stem responses to low R:FR. (a) Light spectrum measurement in WL (left) vs. WL + FR in our investigation. (b) Comparison of 24-day-old young tomato plants in WL (left) vs. WL + FR (right). This picture was taken at 10 days of treatment to illustrate the different phenotypes between WL and WL + FR. (c) Stem and (d) internode lengths of three-week-old Moneymaker plants after seven-day WL and WL + FR treatments. (e) First internode's length over 4 days of light treatment. The seedlings were grown in WL for 1 week, and on day 0 at ZT 3.5 h we started supplemental FR treatment, the lengths were measured at 0, 6, 24, 30, 48, 52, 64, 70, 94 hours after the start of the treatment. (f) Experimental design of the time series RNA sequencing. Plants were grown for 7 days in WL before the light treatments. (g) Overlap in FR-responsive DEGs across the timepoints.

Today we celebrated the "graduation" of our @UU_Plants Rclub 2024! We hope to keep empowering young researchers to improve their R skills!
Special highlight for the great cake made by PhD candidate Dani (bottom left)!

Just put together a simple guide on how to vectorize R plots in PowerPoint.
Check out my first Medium article 🥳
nalinan.medium.com/how-to-ve…
It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!
