Have you ever wondered what’s inside the head of a flower? Researchers @ucalgary.bsky.social @helsinki.fi and the CLS used our synchrotron’s X-ray imaging to map the structure of daisy-like plants, revealing a vein network that moves water and nutrients. Paper: https://bit.ly/4mBnqcZ

Here's 123 new bryophyte genomes for you! Apparently, bryophytes time and again include microbial genes in their genomic repertoire, and occupy a langer gene space than vascular plants. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A milestone for plant genomics just out @natgenet.nature.com 130 bryophyte genomes! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share our latest story on the ERAD machinery and how it controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES for acclimative growth www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Welcome to Lansing, #GLPSC2025 attendees! PRI and @chooselansing.bsky.social are thrilled to host you for three days of networking, collaboration, and cutting-edge #plantscience at the 1st Great Lakes Plant Science Conference. Let’s expand horizons in plant science together! 🌍 #ChooseLansing

AM: We should define authorship contributions at the start of the study, not at the end. Kiemer et al: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... We should continue doing research on authorship and move to an organizational and community culture of responsible authorship. #PRC10

Explore adaptation, resilience, and sustainable solutions at #GLPSC2025! 🌱 This session will examine the latest advances in plant adaptation and resilience strategies, focusing on molecular, physiological, and ecological responses to climate stress. Register by August 31: research.msu.edu/glpsc2025

As a reviewer of open source lab hardware manuscripts for a few years now, I am asking the community to PLEASE include step by step construction documentation with your manu submissions, ideally with photos. I know its a lot of work but also the heart of your design being reproducible by others. 🙏

Quality of scientific papers questioned as academics ‘overwhelmed’ by the millions published Widespread mockery of AI-generated rat with giant penis in one paper brings problem to public attention @iansample.bsky.social writes @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I just published: Why I’m skipping the Congress this year (And why you should still publish your posters) Publishing your poster creates a citable record and protects you from bad actors. #ISMPMI2025 #OpenMPMI #AcademicChatter #PhDchat medium.com/p/why-im-ski...

Attending #2025ISMPMI next week? Consider publishing your poster on Zenodo to get a doi and make it a citable unit. #OpenMPMI #OpenScience More here: Why you should publish your posters kamounlab.medium.com/why-you-shou...

🍀🔬 Brassinosteroids promote pollen tube guidance by coordinating gene expression in male and female reproductive tissues @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Really like this article- naming (plants) is caring. “This misplaced lack of trust in botanical knowledge is unfortunately shared by higher education institutions”. Nice to see iNaturalist get a name check! In @natplants.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Stomatal transpiration and rapid programmed cell death ☠️ triggered by lowered ambient humidity causes anther tissue collapse for effective pollen release ! Happy to be part of this great PNAS story with @kampova.bsky.social, Matyáš Fendrych, and @svosolsobe.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
