No Touchy the Planty
02/22/19 • 115 min
It is done. We recorded our first episode of the Plants and Pipettes Podcast.
What happens if you repeatedly poke a plant in the eye leaf? And what is so exciting about transforming yet another organelle? Listen to this episode and find out!
If you have comments about the things we said, please post them below on plantsandpipettes.com. We’d love to hear your feedback!
Shownotes:
- Tegan’s Paper: Quantitative and functional posttranslational modification proteomics reveals that TREPH1 plays a role in plant touch-delayed bolting, Wang et al., PNAS, 2018
- Joram’s Paper: High-efficiency generation of fertile transplastomic Arabidopsis plants, Ruf et al., Nature Plants, 2019
- The previous chloroplast transformation paper from 2017: Efficient Plastid Transformation in Arabidopsis, Yu et al, Plant Physiology, 2017
- DIY 3D printed hand powered centrifuge
- Ultralow-cost electroporator
- Gaurav Byagathvalli on twitter
- Dunning-Kruger on GMO opposition survey

Our opening music is Caravana by Phillip Gross
Until next time!

Pee-rigation
Another fortnight, another episode! In episode 2 of the Plant and Pipettes Podcast we explore again two journals from the past months. Joram brought up his favourite topic: urine irrigation of meadows by cows and the resulting nitrogen cycles. Tegan on the other hand talked about research on photorespiration and how scientists found a shortcut that could result in massive increases in crop yield.
Paper 1: Tonn B, Porath I, Lattanzi FA, Isselstein J (2019) Urine effects on grass and legume nitrogen isotopic composition: Pronounced short-term dynamics of δ15N. PLOS ONE
Paper 2: P.F. South el al., Synthetic glycolate metabolism pathways stimulate crop growth and productivity in the field, Science (2018).
Joram’s favourite plant is Whiteheadia bifolia. This paper explores the pollination by rodents. He found it through this tweet by @thorogoodchris1.
