Last month, all @icips.bsky.social members met at the JLU in Gießen for our 4th annual "Retreat" meeting. We had some very productive and intensive discussions during the three days of the meeting...

Are you interested in plant evolution? 🦠🌱🫛 Join us @gmivienna.bsky.social for the 4th #EMBO Workshop "Plant evolution: from origins to diversification on land" on November 25-27 2025 Submit your abstract by August 25! #algae #bryophytes #nonseedplants #plantevodevo

@icips.bsky.social on TV📺: The German national radio/TV channel NDR presented on 18.5.2025 some ICIPS works done within the group of Prof. Zachgo in Osnabrück during a short documentary entitled: "Fountain Liverwort (Marchantia) - the discrete Star in research"🎥🌱🤩 www.ndr.de/fernsehen/se...

Sexual reproduction in land plants: an evolutionary perspective link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🌱🌻Finally out! All ICIPS PIs had their say in a seminal 31 page review on the evolution of land plant sexual reproduction. With lots of fine figures to share! Thanks to @icips.bsky.social and @dfg.de for funding our work. #PlantScienceResarch, #PlantEvoDevo rdcu.be/elOeI

Happy to announce the publication of a review paper presenting the whole @icips.bsky.social work in Plant Reproduction (@iasprr.bsky.social): Sexual reproduction in land plants: an evolutionary perspective link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Ms. Caterina Baldi (Sponsor: @novogene-europe.bsky.social) & Prof. Annette Becker (JLU University Gießen) awarded the diploma for the best poster to the two winners (they obtained the same number of votes):

Congratulations to Melanie Trupp (Osnabrück University), who won the best PhD Talk prize for her oral presentation “Contribution of the TGA TF to the evolution of sexual reproduction” given during the session 7 "Co-Evolution of Signaling Systems and Gene Regulatory Networks in Plant Development".

Thanks to all our sponsors (@dfg.de, @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social, @novogene-europe.bsky.social & CLF PlantClimatics), we were able to attribute 6 international and national travel grants to early-career researchers to come to Berlin and participate to the ICIPS symposium

One "Flash Talk" session (5min. talk / 3 slides max. per speaker) was organized on Wednesday afternoon (26.03) to allow certain researchers to present and advertise their poster: - "Role of DNA methylation in asexual endosperm formation" by Dilsher Singh Kulaar (Max Planck Institute - Potsdam)

Session 8 about Bioinformatics solutions to harness the EvoDevo data universe chaos on Friday (28.03) midday (Chair: Alexander Goesmann):

Session 7 about Co-Evolution of Signaling Systems and Gene Regulatory Networks in Plant Development on Friday (28.03) morning (Chair: Sabine Zachgo):

Session 6 about From ROS to hormones: Regulatory processes shaping land plant growth and fertility on Thursday (27.03) midday (Chair: Stefanie Müller-Schüssele):

Session 5 about Evolution of Fertilization Mechanisms in Plants on Thursday (27.03) morning (Chair: Stefanie Sprunck):

Session 4 about Evolution of Carpels and Fruits on Wednesday (26.03) afternoon (Chair: Annette Becker):

Session 3 about Evolution of Ovules and Seeds on Wednesday (26.03) midday (Chair: Günter Theißen)

Session 2 about Evolution of Multicellular Embryos and Endosperm on Wednesday (26.03) morning (Chair: Duarte Figueiredo):

During the international ICIPS Symposium "Evolution of Plant Reproduction", 46 speakers presented their results in eight different sessions: Session 1 about Innovation of Pollen and their Reception/Rejection Systems on Tuesday (25.03) afternoon (Chair: Thomas Dresselhaus):

More than 100 scientists (39 PIs, 24 Postdocs, 34 PhD-students & 5 sponsors) from 9 different countries (China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, UK, USA) participated to the international ICIPS Symposium (25-28.03.2025) in Berlin. Thank you to all of you !

During the first Poster Session of the International ICIPS Symposium, we saw a lot of discussion ... almost everyone commented on the posters
