PhD opportunity in the newly minted RO2T Respiration Group! Please share! Interested in root biology, oxygen dynamics, imaging & modelling? We’re recruiting a PhD student at the University of Nottingham. Deadline 15th February. jobs.nottingham.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx... #plantscijobs #plantscience

Are you an experienced PhD student or postdoc in plant science looking to connect, present your work, and discuss career paths? Join us at the 3rd Early Career Plant Researchers Network Meeting, Halle (Saale), 20–21 April 2026 Deadline: 23 January 2026 plant-ecr-networking.eu

Stoked to share our review advocating a whole plant perspective on resource balancing strategies with Joe Earle, Lucila Salvatore, Bas van den Herik and Kirsten ten Tusscher How coupling resources and development ensures whole plant homeostasis url: academic.oup.com/jxb/article/...

English is the dominant language of science. Does this help us share knowledge? Or does it further exclude the already excluded? This webinar looks back at the colonial past of science communication and how we can better embrace multilingual science: buff.ly/5f2uPQi

Just submitted my first PI grant proposal – what a wild ride! It got me wondering about something specific: for those of you in plant science, what did grant proposals look like back in the late '90s or early 2000s? #writing #proposal

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

ERFVIIs as transducers of oxygen-sensing in the evolution of land plant response to hypoxia #research #MolecularPlant cell.com/molecular-pl...

The TAIR12 genome reannotation has FINALLY been submitted to GenBank. Now we await review and approval. Stay tuned for updates, hopefully within the next month. Thank you to everyone that made this project possible. @labschneeberger.bsky.social @bar-plantbio.bsky.social @sigmafacto.bsky.social

A growing list of genetically encoded biosensors helps to shine light on plant metabolism. We reviewed - also for the non-expert - available probes and recent advances in the field: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We are looking for a postdoc to study the impact of interspecific variation of ELF3 at the #mlu-halle within the EU-funded research consortium #ValuePlant. www.verwaltung.uni-halle.de/dezern3/Auss... Please share within your networks!

I will post this again, cause it is important more than ever: #Inclusion,#diversity& #equality have also become integral in academia.It has deeply impacted my life.I have felt (still feel) the weight of not fitting in & feeling misunderstood @academic-chatter.bsky.social #AcademicChatter #DEI 🧵(1/6)

Shout out to house dj @rensingstefan.bsky.social @maizel-lab.org #mbp2025

Past midnight and it's still going strong #mbp2025

At this week's Plant Science Seminar @putriningrum.bsky.social (@plantphotobiology.bsky.social lab) aims to clarify GID1's role in shade avoidance through the DELLA-independent GA perception pathway. Bring your own mug, we will provide ☕ and 🍪. See you tomorrow at 10:15 in KS 00.009.

Without downloading any new pics, what‘s your energy going into 2025?

Neat! "Which cell/tissue spent the most energy, and when?", might try to answer it with this tool 😃

Proud to share TAPscan v4, automated annotation of 138 TF families; code, webtool and database available online. @watertoland.bsky.social @nfdi4plants.bsky.social @jandevries.bsky.social @shiltemann.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/tpj....

I found this paper, written by 10 doctoral students in Stockholm, quite interesting: Creative destruction in academia: a time to reimagine practices in alignment with sustainability values #academia link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Good week for those interested in oriented divisions and middle cortex formation in the Arabidopsis root. Out in Current Biology: www.cell.com/current-biol...

This is what I am seeing

Indonesian forests pay the price for the growing global biomass energy demand https://botany.fyi/47kgbx The global push for biomass that can be burned for energy is causing concern about the price Indonesia's forests are paying. #Botany

Dual and spatially resolved drought responses in the Arabidopsis leaf mesophyll revealed by single-cell transcriptomics https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.30.610433v1

We want to thank all the participants and speakers for making this an amazing #YRSPP2024 ! We hope you enjoyed yourselves just as much as we did, and can’t wait to see you all in Edinburgh in 2026!!!

Great paper that creates a new GA biosensor and shows key role for GA signalling at the edges of organ primordia. Auxin gets the lion's share of attention at the apex, but the role of GA has been much less well understood. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Proud to share the work of my first PhD candidate Linge Li! She investigated how hormones (IAA, BR, GA) affect internode elongation in tomato shade avoidance, and found that even though transcriptional data points to IAA... GA and BR had bigger roles! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Finally found a good material for a first post on this platform! I'm delighted to share the news that I've been awarded a DFG-WBP grant to explore Gibberellin receptor and signalling in plants' neighbouring proximity!🌱
