Hi all @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social members and other 🌽community folks, #MBP2026 🌱 is no open for registration. Please 🏄‍♀️ to: www.pflanzen-molekularbiologie.de/en/conferenc...

Hey #TeamTomo …would you like to try some 🍦ICECREAM!? Our @unibas.ch colleagues over at the @ivandokmanic.bsky.social lab have developed a stunningly effective tool to de-noise and de-wedge your tomograms. The contrast and details will give you brain freeze! 🍨❄️🤯 Please try, we need feedback 🧪🧶🧬🔬

ETH Zurich just turned 170 years! Have a look into our past here: www.instagram.com/p/DP6Jr-ACp0...

Concluded the teaching for this semester. 🧑‍🏫 The greatest feeling is to transfer the knowledge. 💡

What else I am offering • My services for transforming PhD theses into Thesis Glossies with Thesis & Zo • And not to forget my blogs about recent plant science articles under Plant & Zo

So, we all know that VIPP1 (the Very Important Protein in Plants) is the "photosynthetic ESCRT-III", required for the biogenesis and maintenance of light-harvesting thylakoids. But what about ESCRT-II, you say? ...Meet VIA1! Congrats @mayankdu.bsky.social on your lab's first paper! #PlantScience 🧪 🌾

Hot off the press, first PI paper 🎉. Reporting a novel protein (VIA1) involved in thylakoid membrane biogenesis. VIA1 (similar to ESCRT-II) and bind to chloroplast ESCRT-III (VIPP1). Showing a direct role of VIPP1 in thylakoid biogenesis. @cp-cellreports.bsky.social tinyurl.com/msrepdna

New work from the Synoxys lab! About how does a plant’s habitat, whether growing in water, drylands, or typical soils, shape the evolution of its oxygen-sensing machinery. Indulge! #plantscience #ISPLORE2025JP

Honoured & excited that ‘Breathing Underground’ has been funded by the ERC! This will let me explore one of the most fundamental questions of plant life: how roots breathe underground? @erc.europa.eu

It is not often that you see shiny flowers but these water-buttercup, Ranunculus lingua, are definitely shiny. They thank this to a unique and rare combination of traits. 🧵1/3

Outstanding work by @anyalb.bsky.social in my lab - she targeted enzymes to synthetic biomolecular condensates in plants and showed increases in metabolic pathway activity, likely due to protection of the introduced enzymes from proteolysis #PlantScience onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Preprint alert, please share!! With our new study, we engineered an orthogonal hypoxia-responsive system in plants inspired by mammalian HIF protein degradation. We demonstrated that this system could control protein stability and activity, enabling modulation of Oxygen sensing outputs. Here's how:
