So while some restrictions were relaxed here in Victoria on May 11th, we are still not back at work here at the University of Melbourne. But we hope that at least a few of us will be able to return within the next two weeks, with more joining from June 1st, when restrictions are loosened further by the government.
Some good news: Our review entitled ‘Plant Science’s Next Top Models‘ is already online in it’s unedited advanced form:
https://academic.oup.com/aob/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aob/mcaa063/5818476
It’s a very nice cooperation with some very good friends: Igor Cesarino, Raffaele Dello Ioio, Gwendolyn K. Kirschner, Michael S. Ogden, Kelsey L. Picard and Madlen I. Rast-Somssich.
We introduce some very interesting new model plants, that allow us to study certain aspects of plant life. Igor wrote about Setaria viridis, Raffo covers Cardamine hirsuta, Gwen introduces Striga hermonthica, Mike wrote about Phragmites australis, Kelsey re-introduces the ‘forgotten‘ model Pisum sativum, Madlen covers Marchantia polymorpha, and Marc wrote about Eutrema salsugineum.
Nice to see it covered by GARNet and plantae.org!

Well, the fun only lasted three weeks. Since March 21st we are in Lockdown and can’t work anymore.
It will last at least (!) until May 11th.
The new team webpage is online. We are still working on the content though…
