Excited for 2 days of @episeedlink.bsky.social conference on Priming and Epigenetic Stress Memory in #plantscience in Amsterdam! The stage is set with a watergun for speakers going overtime 😳💦

🌱🌍 A new UCD-led international study reveals what inspires people to study plant biology, a subject essential for building the future workforce needed to address biodiversity loss, climate change, and food security.

New in Science of Plants: "Inferring hypoxia-responsive regulators of cell fate in plant meristems throughsingle-cell transcriptomics" rdcu.be/eXYvw

Excited to share @robynemm.bsky.social and I will be co-chairing a session on plant epigenetics in development and plasticity at @sebiology.bsky.social Annual meeting in Florence Registration is now open! Submit your abstracts and enjoy some fantastic chromatin biology in beautiful Italy ☀️ 🧬

Congratulations @tamatar.bsky.social ! It was a really enjoyable discussion of some great work 😊

Lovely new review on H3K27me3 dynamics and potential functions in #plantscience by @drosborneplantsci.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Today we are excited for a day of talks from the 2025 Molecular Biodiscovery Meeting at the @unibirmingham.bsky.social. Combined between the #UoBbiosciences and #UoBSchool_Chem

🚨Our paper is out! 🥳 Hijacking a bacterial ABC transporter for efficient genetic code expansion. Many congrats to everyone involved - a multi-year effort led by @taruniype.bsky.social @maxfottner.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... it all started years ago with a failed experiment 🧵👇 1/9

We are advertising a PhD project investigating a cellular mechanism that ensures protein quality control during mRNA translation in plants. Please get in touch on here or via email if you are interested and I can provide further details! Lab website: sites.google.com/site/danielg...

And now for something completely different in co-translational targeting: Molecular Cell www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Very nice new review on roles for translational control in plant cell signalling by @maureynoso.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

And that’s a wrap on #ISPLORE2025JN 🇯🇵 🌱 🫧

It’s been a great opportunity for our lab to deliver four talks on different aspects of plant hypoxia and flooding research at #ISPLORE2025JN! Well done @linazhou.bsky.social @gunjansharma88.bsky.social & @drosborneplantsci.bsky.social for the great presentations! 🌱 💦 🌾 🦠 🌺 🫧 🇯🇵 #plantsci

1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources. In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We finish this #ISPLORE2025JP session with exceptional talks by @mikellavi.bsky.social, Daai Zhang, @vinayshukla.bsky.social and Lina Zhou 🌱🌊 Check out @beagiuntoli.bsky.social's recent preprint #plantscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

After the lunch break, the hypoxia signalling session continues with talks of @djgibbs.bsky.social and Peter Geigenberger, check out Dan's recent paper! #ISPLORE2025JP 🌱🌊 www.cell.com/developmenta...

Coming to you live from #ISPLORE2025JP Fresh preprint from my lab showing that leaves progressively oxygenate and how this is important for their morphogenesis.Thanks to our collaborators from @Fra_LicO2si lab. #plantscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The second day of #ISPLORE2025JP starts with a great overview talk by @theplantlab.bsky.social on hypoxia regulation. Hypoxia is everywhere! #plantscience 🌱🌊

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

#ISPLORE2025JP is about to start in beautiful Nagoya! We're excited for a full week of low-oxygen and flooding #plantscience 🌱🌊

After a fantastic week exploring Tōkyō and Ōsaka, today it’s the Shinkansen 🚅 to Nagoya ahead of ISPLORE 2025 tomorrow 🌱 Looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues and hearing the latest in plant low oxygen and flooding research! #ISPLORE2025JP

Congratulations Anne-Marie - best of luck as you settle into your new position!! 🌱

Wonderful to be back at Queen’s College in Oxford for the annual @gpsep.bsky.social network meeting! 🌱

Amazing to see so many plant science projects funded! (And special congrats to @vinayshukla.bsky.social and @tinaschreier.bsky.social !!) 🌱

🚨Job Alert!! Assistant professor vacancy ‘plant abiotic stress resilience’ in our group @uuplants.bsky.social Come for the science, stay for the amazing colleagues 😀More details here www.uu.nl/en/organisat... Please share!!

Nitric oxide promotes cysteine N-degron proteolysis through control of oxygen availability | Important finding by Kim, Tian, Ratcliffe and Keeley @ox.ac.uk @ispt-proteinterm.bsky.social #N-degron www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I'm tired of people saying that they don't care that a photo or video is AI because it's "still cute." No, it isn't. None of it is. It's all soulless and takes away from the beauty and rarity of things in real life. 😩

Thank you to our brilliant delegates, mentors, speakers, the organising committee and our hosts at the University of Birmingham for making New Phytologist next generation scientists 2025 a great success!

Our 'Spotlight' discussing an excellent recent paper by @lauradc.bsky.social @n-end-rules.bsky.social & @syno2xis.bsky.social et al on the evolution of oxygen signalling in land plants is now online at Molecular Plant. Spotlight: tinyurl.com/7ydn6p4a Original paper: tinyurl.com/yw5yd4f8

Reminds me of probably one of the first #plantscience reviews I ever read, during my BSc Thesis in 2013 ;) An @isplore.bsky.social classic: www.cell.com/trends/plant...

This was a fantastic talk - the perfect blend of personal and scientific insight

Fascinating new study showing that diffusion of ethylene and oxygen through periderm wound sites in plants acts as a signal for initiating barrier repair! More evidence for the importance of oxygen (and associated signalling) in regulating development. Congrats to all on this great work! 🌱 🫧

Haider Ali, Megan C. McDonald, and Graeme J. Kettles developed a rapid forward genetics methodology to identify genes that enable Zymoseptoria tritici to gain virulence on previously resistant wheat varieties. Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI...

Thank you for a very nice visit with great discussions! Lots of ideas in my head now… 🧬 🌱

Just landed in Düsseldorf and looking forward to some productive plant proteostasis discussions and project planning with @suaybuestuen.bsky.social et al! 🌱 🧬 🦠

Congratulations to all for this great work on the evolution of the low-oxygen transducing transcription factors in land plants 👏🏻
