CTP-binding and hydrolysis regarded as a fundamental feature of a ParB-like molecular switches. To challenge this view we provide the first example of a type-I ParABS system that does NOT require CTP to assemble a segrosome for DNA segregation.

My first paper in JIC with Tung Le and Adam Jalal is now in JBC! A short story about how the structure of Noc, a protein that coordinates cell division and chromosome partition, changes upon interaction with DNA

New research from Michael from @kasChemBio lab with @j_mylne lab; gaining further structure activity information for fluoroquinolones as herbicides - a new herbicide scaffold bit.ly/2Xo4cBh @SMS_UWA
@UWAresearch @ScienceUWA @PlantDirectJ
I would like to thank @ThatcherLouise, @AndyTruman4 and chairman @CharlieBondXray for making our PhD viva feeling like a productive scientific discussion, not like an exam! I am glad you were my examinators and chair!
Big news for @KSukhoverkov @SMS_UWA who just finished his PhD viva with the result "passed with minor revision" ... Dr Sukhoverkov! His PhD thesis was entitled "Exploring New Pathways For Targeting Herbicides" 👨🎓🥳🍾
I did my PhD under supervision of @j_mylne and would highly recommend his lab to everyone who wants to become a multidisciplinary researcher and seeks for broad publication opportunities and excellent supervision!
Want to do a PhD with our group @theCCDM @CurtinUni? Scholarships for domestic students open today, see "New herbicidal modes of action"

The tree-friendly version of work by @KSukhoverkov using solid statistics and #Arabidopsis to find new, true and rare herbicide synergies is out today in Pest Manag. Sci.

An online early version is out today at Pest. Manag. Sci. The work by @KSukhoverkov @SMS_UWA and @PlantEnergyBiol used rigorous statistics to discover new and real herbicide synergies.
Also it's a real rarity nowadays in biology: a 2-author paper! 🌱🍾😄

This collaboration just out on @biorxiv_plants, led by Michael Wallace of the @KStubbs lab @SMS_UWA with @AlexWDebowski and @KSukhoverkov @PlantEnergyBiol "Herbicidal activity of fluoroquinolone derivatives", which target chloroplast DNA gyrase.

Next Tuesday we mark the end of an era! @SamuelGNonis and @KSukhoverkov will both give PhD swan songs (completion seminars) on Tuesday, 27 April 1pm in Bayliss G.33
If anyone wants to watch by Zoom, DM me for the link ... I'll be logging in from @theCCDM @CurtinUni

The PhD completion talk Tuesday, 27 April 1pm in Bayliss G.33 @SMS_UWA by @KSukhoverkov is entitled:
"Predicting #herbicides from physico-chemical parameters" featuring work published in @RSCAdvances

Out today in Pest Manag. Sci., the early-release version of a perspective led by @Joel_Haywood88 and with Grishma Vadlamani and @kasChemBio @SMS_UWA "Antibiotic resistance lessons for the herbicide resistance crisis" #AMR #Superweeds

Thanks @hudsontakano for spotting this just out. A paper that injects some rigour into the statistics that will distinguish additivity from synergy and antagonism.
This just out in Pest. Manag. Sci. by @WyoWeeds, Jens Streibig and Christian Ritz reviews statistical approaches applicable for looking antagonism or synergism.
"How to use statistics to claim antagonism and synergism from binary mixture experiments"

So excited for (and envious of) @KSukhoverkov who's been offered a 5-yr post-doc contract (yes 5!). Can't publicly say where, but let's say he could be in the obese feline banging back a clergyman's goodbye by a time it's safe to cast a clout. Defends his thesis soon! 😉

Many from my lab will be there will bells on! See you down there @PerthProteins people! 🥳🍻😋

Here's an example of a synergy being spotted as yellow or white (death) in a 'sea of (sub-lethal) green' ... the doses used were just perfect such that even weak synergy really stood out.
Kirill Sukhoverkov retweeted
Using Arabidopsis, @KSukhoverkov screened 24 #herbicide MoAs against each other (276 combinations) and found 2 reliable synergies + 3 new ones; 2 of the new ones worked vs lettuce too. All three new combinations included a bleaching herbicide.

Out on @biorxivpreprint today is work by @KSukhoverkov "A systematic approach for finding herbicide synergies". He used the perfect dose for each so herbicide synergies stood out starkly as white or yellow death in a 'sea of green' (sub-lethal growth).

Out in Pest. Manag. Sci: Team from Northwest A&F University China made 67 cmpds. Several had post-emerg bleaching activity v A. theophrasti and A. retroflexus. Thought to block ζ-carotene desaturase (ZDS)? Most carotenoid biosynthesis blockers hit PDS.
