Hi Jon,

Thanks very much for the paper. and I am sorry for the late reply, as I went to Germany for an interview on 25th and just came back recently. Also, I am accepted by Max-planck institute of development biology in Tuebingen. during the years in the future I will do the research on the embryo development of plants. I hope we could have collaboration in the future!!
