We’re excited to share that our latest work is now online in EMBO Reports! 🎉 link.springer.com/article/10.1... A big thank you to everyone who contributed, supported, and provided valuable input along the way! @emboreports.org @raffolab.bsky.social

We are looking for a postdoc to establish our Cell imaging laboratory for investigating plant stress factors. The postdoc will develop and optimize #CLSM technologies including fluorescence lifetime measurements and life imaging @unibz with @simonjunterholzner.bsky.social Please repost

We join Assosementi in condemning the vandalism of research aimed at helping farmers and growers with sustainable farming solutions. This research focuses on developing disease-resistant grape varieties that could reduce fungicide use by up to 80% 🍇 Read more: www.seedworld.com/europe/2025/...

After the destruction by unknown vandals of the NGT-1 grape experimental field of colleagues from Uni Verona, we will meet in Florence to discuss present and future of our researches. In Italian, it will be possibile to follow online upon registration.

We are very happy to share our latest work on the Molecular mechanisms driving light independent germination in plants!

I want this: Genome-edited Chardonnay grapes resistant or tolerant to mildew & powdery mildew! Did you know that grapes are grown on only ~5% of European agricultural land, but account for ~2/3 of all fungicide sprayed in Europe? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #plantscience

Europe’s first field trial of gene-edited grape vines have begun in northern Italy. Developed by EdiVite, Chardonnay vines have undergone gene inactivation to enable them to better defend themselves against downy mildew, a major fungal disease

New Article: "ABA-activated low-nanomolar Ca2+–CPK signalling controls root cap cycle plasticity and stress adaptation" rdcu.be/d1kKp An ultrasensitive biosensor shows how spatiotemporal Ca2+ dynamics modulate the root cap cycle in adaptation to stress through ABA–Ca2+–CPK signalling. #PlantScience
