Durchbruch für die Pflanzenforschung in Europa: Die DFG begrüßt die Zustimmung des EU-Parlaments zur neuen Verordnung zu Züchtungstechniken, für dessen wissenschaftsbasierte Differenzierung sich die Senatskommission für Grundsatzfragen der Genforschung über Jahre eingesetzt hat: sohub.io/csi8

Grünes Licht für innovative Pflanzen von Morgen!🌱🧬 Gestern hat das EU-Parlament die Neuregulierung von genomeditierten Pflanzen (Neue Genomische Techniken, NGTs) angenommen. Ein Sieg der Vernunft! 💪 #GiveGenesAChance Unsere Pressemitteilung ⤵️ oekoprog.org/pressemittei...

Happy to celebrate the first of my former PhD student George Greiff’s first author papers from his funded PhD work in my lab today. Aiming to analyse CLAVATA/WOX interactions in Physco, a first step was to address PpWOX13LC function, which he found to suppress polysety. Moss photo: Des O’Callaghan

🌿💧 Flooding triggers ethylene and hypoxia signaling. Plants anticipate, acclimate, recover, and remember. Stress memory helps survival against future floods. Integrative signaling for resilience. #plantscience @jxbotany.bsky.social @hartman-plantlab.com academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-...

Happy to share our newest preprint. We developed guidelines and analysis workflows for FLIM Imaging in plants. Multiplexing with spectrally overlapping fluorophores in plants is now possible. Have a look. Any feedback is more than welcome. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->

New Letter: "Ubiquitin-dependent mitochondrial protein degradation ensures seedling emergence by regulating ER–mitochondrial interaction and mitophagy" rdcu.be/flrsu SPL2 tags damaged mitochondria for degradation, ensuring sufficient energy for the seedling to emerge.

🌱 #Plants tolerate surprisingly high rates of protein translation errors: #LMU researchers around kunzlab.bsky.social show that #chloroplasts and #mitochondria can compensate for mistranslated proteins — these “mistakes” may aid plants acclimate to temperature stress. #LMUMunich #ClimateResilience

A true giant has left us. Widmar Tanner, a pioneer of plant transporter research, has passed away. He was a brilliant scientist, an outstanding mentor, and simply one of the kindest people one could meet. Rest in peace Widmar, and thank you for everything.

We're hiring! 🌱 The RO2T Respiration Group is looking for a PhD student and a postdoc to work on root oxygen biology! Please spread the word! #plantscijobs

Just as low-oxygen levels stress plants that are exposed to flooding, so does post-flooding reoxygenation and the associated burst of reactive oxygen species. Work @nature, shows that in both cases, the same molecular players mediate plants’ stress response. shorturl.at/kIRDf

It's finally out! With this new paper, Salma and Monica show that hypoxia-regulated ERFVIIs are not immediately destabilised during reoxygenation: they instead persist in the nucleus to control oxidative stress genes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We knew PCOs & ERFVIIs regulated plant hypoxia, but this work shows they also manage the 'reoxygenation' stress. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk @uni-muenster.de

New paper out from the Synoxys lab! We asked an important question: what if plants sensed oxygen like animals do? what if we swapped the O2 sensing across? We built the system to find out. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #plantscience @syno2xis.bsky.social @beagiuntoli.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
