Fresh from the press! For suberin lovers! Work led by @, my former PhD student and now postdoc in the team, with help of @sarahorvath.bsky.social and in collaboration with @tonnigrubeandersen.bsky.social . 🔗 DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... 1/4 #PlantScience

Our new paper is out! 1/14 How does an organ rebuild its shape after injury? It's not just about making new cells, but aligning them in the right direction — like bricks shaping a structure. We show that it's all driven by Cell Geometry! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Plant Science Research Weekly: July 18, 2025 plantae.org/plant-scienc... (2/3) pD1 mutations boost photosynthesis under salt stress; Balancing root hydrotropism and gravitropism; Gas as a messenger -How plants monitor their barriers. @apmahonen.bsky.social @vinyardlab.bsky.social ‬

We received 80 abstracts and have >100 registered participants for the Mech. of Plant Development FASEB (Aug 24-28 in Southbridge MA USA). Time for us to select ~20 talks from those 😱 It will be an exciting meeting! FOMO? Still time to register! → tinyurl.com/24fsjq6a

Please spread the word: Position in plant development @umeaplantsciencecentre.se Looking forward to having a new colleague! www.upsc.se/jobs/6590-as...

You have always dreamed to work on mosses and on cell polarity, we have a PhD position for you at RDP in Lyon with Yoan Coudert, collaboration with @dolfweijers.bsky.social

How do plants decide the fate of a wound and what to regenerate? Water availability! Abdul Kareem and colleagues show that regeneration outcomes after tissue cutting are controlled by water. A 🧵/n 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our latest! K63-polyUb of the ERECTA receptor kinase by PUB30/31 is required for the ligand induced receptor endocytosis for stomatal patterning. Our results show that ERECTA signals at the PM. Congrats, Liangliang, Minh & the team🌱! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tutkijamme ovat löytäneet mekanismin, jonka avulla kasvit korjaavat suojaavan uloimman kerroksensa, korkkisolukon. Tällä löydöllä voi olla merkittäviä vaikutuksia maatalouteen ja elintarvikkeiden säilyvyyteen. www.helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/e...

Perusteellista perustutkimusta jolla voi olla iso merkitys viljelykasveille ja sadon säilyvyydelle! 🤓🥔 🥕@helsinki.fi www.helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/e...

Plants "bleed" too, but through gases! When wounded, ethylene leaks out and oxygen seeps in. This gas shift acts as an alarm, triggering self-repair to seal the breach. Excited to share our new collaborative work uncovering this clever plant mechanism! Excellent summary here, indulge! #plantscience

An exciting collaboration that has reignited @vinayshukla.bsky.social's interest for hypoxia and roots! Really happy that we could contribute! @isplore.bsky.social

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...

How do plants notice loss of structural barriers (e.g. the periderm, which prevents water loss and pathogen infection) to regenerate them? Work @nature shows that plants sense damage to barrier integrity from diffusion of gases such as ethylene and oxygen. shorturl.at/FIhJ8 & N&V shorturl.at/u7PYs

The Cereal Stem Cell Systems Consortium published a comprehensive review in Plant Cell on how meristems shape cereal architecture. If you are not a fan of cereals except for breakfast, your teaching will still benefit from the amazing figures! ‪@cerealcell.bsky.social‬ tinyurl.com/32a74xpd

Hot off the press: our analysis of the proposed EU limits to NGT1 category of genome editing in light of recent data on genomic diversity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Plese consider signing this open letter to remind EU leadership of the importance of ring-fencing the budget for ERC, Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowships and other basic research essential for innovation. www.petitions.com/open_letter_...

Fantastic opportunity for a plant evo-devo person to launch an independent group - amazing facilities, wonderful colleagues and likely the most interesting and welcoming city in Germany!

Suomen Akatemian suurilta tuntuvat myönnöt herättävät keskustelua. Saako tutkija tosiaan yli puoli miljoonaa veronmaksajien rahaa omaan taskuun? Miksei niillä rahoilla hoideta vanhuksia? Seuraa pitkä ketju siitä, mihin Akatemian myöntämä tutkimusrahoitus oikeasti menee ja miten raha kulkee. 1/9

State of discovering a plant development process in which auxin does not play a role.

Kick off Vascular Development satellite meeting by @bertderybel.bsky.social. #icar2025

Out First Release in @science.org today, nice work finding that redox regulates multimerisation of Aux/IAA proteins during root xerobranching: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The @maizel-lab.org & @schumacherlab.bsky.social are hiring! Part-time lab manager position available immediately! Apply by June 30th 🇬🇧/🇩🇪 ➡️ adb.zuv.uni-heidelberg.de/info/INFO_FD...

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Also evolutionary biologists are eligible!

Time for another paper from our lab! This time it’s about passage cells. This work originated from a collaboration with @lauraragni.bsky.social and was spearheaded by the super-talented @leoniekraska.bsky.social Below you will find a thread that explains our findings. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Group leader position at the University of Helsinki, Institute of Biotechnology. Plant biologists eligible as well. jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

We're looking for a new PhD candidate to join the lab. Please share 🌱😄

🚨 The FASEB SRC “Mechanisms of Plant Development” is happening this summer! 🌱 🗓️ August 24–28, 2025 | Southbridge, MA. A short thread [1/3] We have an outstanding roster of confirmed speakers — it's shaping up to be a fantastic meeting. Details ➡️ tinyurl.com/24fsjq6a bsky.app/profile/fase...

Luckily, science doesn’t give a fuck what you believe.

We have a unique opportunity for a junior researcher, PhD student or postdoc, to use a revolutionary technique for mineral nutrient imaging and tracing in plants. Please re-post! Interested candidates should apply through the portal at the link below: career5.successfactors.eu/career?compa...

New paper alert! Our latest work shows how oxygen sensing in plants evolved to make life on land possible. Please, have a look-! www.cell.com/molecular-pl... #plantscience

Enjoying dinner & wine with the inventor of PI stain for root imaging and the sequencer of the NcoI recognition site. @violawillemsen.bsky.social @janelangdale.bsky.social Thank you @biologists.bsky.social!

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

PSA: We just finished processing nearly all public ATAC-seq datasets from SRA (about 22,000 datasets). (Not?) Surprisingly, we had to throw-out nearly ~50% because they were low-quality (low signal-to-noise, duplicate rate, etc.). Check quality before analysis (TSS-enrichment is not sufficient!).

A new gene regulating zuberization - found through a GWAS screen by direct, microscopical scoring of seedling root suberin. Amazing work!

Some news! I'm officially the new Executive Editor for Development @dev-journal.bsky.social, following @katherine-brown.bsky.social's 13+ years at the journal. I'll be writing a post for @the-node.bsky.social soon about what this means for me, and for the journal, but I'm excited to get going!

Thrilled to see our work now online @nature.com This study reveals how individual root cells sense and respond to real, compacted soil environments. www.nature.com/articles/s41... beautiful spatial transcritomics of rice root in gel & soil conditions and huge credit to Mingyuan and colleagues.
