“We still don’t know what’s going on, but we’re having fun on the way.” - @likeyoda1.bsky.social (from @unituebingen.bsky.social) Margot’s keynote explored how cell identity is regulated during plant embryogenesis, from the heart to torpedo stage, through precisely timed asymmetric cell divisions.

The #FDFE team (Lina Boutaleb, Norbert Bollier) and Lysiane Brocard (PIV) joined the IMABIO workshop (March 19–20). Discussions focused on imaging strategies for environmental stress, including confocal microscopy 🌱🔬 #PlantScience #Microscopy #PlantImaging 🔗 plantes.microscopie.org/index.php
