How do plants regenerate after wounding? Our new work shows that HSFA1 transcription factors are among the earliest wound-activated regulators of cellular reprogramming in plants!

Wounding activates the HSFA1 transcription factors to promote cellular reprogramming in Arabidopsis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.29.679115v1

Our new work uncovering how WIND1 promotes somatic embryogenesis as a bifunctional chromatic regulator!!!! We knew WIND1 promotes new fate acquisition and now we show WIND1 also helps repressing existing identity!

WIND1 controls cell fate transition through histone acetylation and deacetylation during somatic embryogenesis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.07.669221v1

Today we had a nice visit by @yetkincakaince.bsky.social at @wurplant.bsky.social, courtesy of @ronaldpierik.bsky.social. thanks for sharing with us the exciting science you are doing! @timeslab.bsky.social

🔥Postdoc opportunity 🌱 The Legris lab at the University of Neuchâtel 🇨🇭 is looking for a Postdoc to work on the regulation of branching by warm temperatures. If you have a background on plant physiology and development, and you're interested in shoot thermomorphogenesis, apply now!

Looking forward to this final session of #ICAR2025 — everything has been incredibly well organized from start to finish. And now, with watermelons being served, it’s starting to feel like the perfect Turkish-style farewell — the watermelon signal that it’s almost time to part ways.

Great job opportunity at The Center for Integrative Genomics, Lausanne University, Switzerland unil.ch/cig/en/home.... For a tenure-track Assistant Professor position. More details for how to apply are here nature.com/naturecareer...

Just hung my poster (#107) at #ICAR2025 — the venue is stunning and everything feels so well organized. Come check out my data on hormone-free regeneration and CRISPR knock-ins!

"A GO term analysis? how is this helpful?"

A PhD position is available in my group @_SLU. Come join us in Uppsala, Sweden to work on plant regeneration and graft hybrid formation! Details below. Please share! #plantscijobs #PlantScience

Uggh. I really wish that publishers would not be doing this. This is in Oncogene. Can we get one download button for one file containing the article + all supplemental figures and tables, please? The Cell suite of journals actually does this and it is so lovely.
