We get slight cover envy...

I am organizing a concurrent session “Cellular reprogramming and organ regeneration” at #ICAR2026 together with @charlesmelnyk.bsky.social! Submit your abstract by Feb 22 (for oral) and share your exciting science with us🌿 icar2026.sg

🌱 2x David Sainsbury Career Development Fellowships at @slcuplants.bsky.social Unique opportunity for early-career researchers to launch their own independent research programme in quantitative plant development, with generous support & world-class facilities. www.cam.ac.uk/jobs/david-s...

Congrats, Momoko @prunus-persica123.bsky.social and all! Excited to see how our former postdoc's work unfolded the mutual inhibitory mechanism bet/w EPFL2 peptide hormone & auxin underpins the intervals of auxin maxima 🌿🔬🥳 Just published @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How are the intervals of periodic pattern formation regulated during plant morphogenesis? Our latest study now published in @natcomms.nature.com proposes that the mutual inhibition between EPFL2 and auxin modulates the periodicity🌿 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌱 What happens when lateral root primordia (LRPs) fail to emerge? Using our new lineage tracing tool LRTracker, Xin discovered that arrested LRPs don’t just disappear—they gradually switch fate and become part of the cambium, contributing to secondary growth.1/x www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. @treebiocoe.bsky.social‬ @erc.europa.eu‬ 1/x 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Interesting and dynamic talk from Momoko Ikeuchi @prunus-persica123.bsky.social ! Interested in shoot regeneration? Check poster 285! #arabidopsis #plantscience

Our new review article "Multifaceted controls on auxin metabolism during cellular reprogramming and organ regeneration in plants" is published from @jxbotany.bsky.social 🥳 academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-...

Convergent evolution of "smelling like rotting meat" is mediated by a 3 amino-acid chance in a conserved enzymes, just out @science.org 🔽 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“All roads lead to dome” - our latest review on shoot regeneration is now published in Current Opinion in Plant Biology! 🥳Please find more at the link (authors.elsevier.com/a/1l1iM4tPF3...).

Do you want to know how mechanical interaction between tissue layers controls the formation of complex organ shapes in plants? 🔬🌼 🚨Our latest collaborative work with @routierlab.bsky.social is now published @natureplants.bsky.social Find out more👉 rdcu.be/efad3

Two fantastic positions in #plantscience: A junior AND a senior group leader position at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI), part of @viennabiocenter.bsky.social. Generous core funding, fantastic plant and non-plant colleagues, all in a very livable and beautiful city. www.oeaw.ac.at/gmi/join-us/...

PCP Poster Award Winners receiving their certificates from Tetsuya Higashiyama, EIC, at the conference reception. Well done to these amazingly talented students - the future’s looking bright for #PlantScience! #EarlyCareer #JSPPKanazawa2025 #JSPP

At #JSPP2025 in Kanazawa, I organized an interdisciplinary symposium on plant development with Dr. Makoto Shirakawa. Huge thanks to all the invited speakers for giving wonderful talks and the audience for active participation! 😊@kierzkowskilab.bsky.social

The #Japan Science and Technology Agency | EMBO Workshop brings together more than 100 participants to foster scientific exchanges and collaborations. We are delighted to welcome you in Heidelberg! 🧪

I had a wonderful time at Heidelberg! Huge thanks to the organizers from both EMBO and JST for making this all happen!!

If you are interested in plant stem cell systems, meristems and development of cereals: We are organising an international symposium on "Cereal Meristems and Stem Cell Systems", see attached announcement. www.cscs2025.de for more details

** UPCOMING SPECIAL ISSUE ** Plasmodesmata Editors: Tessa Burch-Smith & Jake Brunkard Deadline: 1st Feb 2025 Manuscripts of any format welcomed, please contact the JXB office (bit.ly/JXBissues) #JXBspecialissues 🌱 🔗 🌿 🧪 #plantscience @pdchristine.bsky.social @tinaschreier.bsky.social (1/2)

Happy to share our last paper published in Developmental Cell. Amazing work by Anna Sole-Gil. Great co-supervision with Miguel Blázquez and equally great collaboration with the labs of @liamdolanlab.bsky.social, Barbara Ambrose and Kimitsune Ishizaki. www.cell.com/developmenta...

Please re-post. Fantastic postdoc opportunities in our ERC funded project, Re-engineering symmetry breaking in development and evolution (RESYDE). Openings close soon! Read more and check job opportunities here: www2.hu-berlin.de/resyde/

Delighted to announce the 18th #FASEB Mechanisms of Plants Development will take place Aug 24-28th. ‼️ Register before June 29th → tinyurl.com/24fsjq6a 🌱 🎁 Vote for the conference image by Jan 31st → tinyurl.com/2872w6vm The poster & speakers lineup will be announced in early Feb. Spread the word!

New year, new paper! Now published in @nature.com. We identified and characterised diverse immune cell states in plants under pathogen attack. My postdoc work in the Ecker lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social. A thread (0/n) #PlantScience www.nature.com/articles/s41...

End the year by enjoying the blockbuster story led by Xin Cheng and @heikelindner.bsky.social presented by @michaelraissig.bsky.social at the @newphyt.bsky.social stomata conference. How CAM plants make their very special stomata + SCs (hint, it's MUTE again) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So thrilled to be part of the EMBO community as a Young Investigator! From this round, JST-funded scientists in Japan are eligible for the application. I am sincerely grateful to everyone who has made this possible. www.embo.org/press-releas...
