🌱 3 plant biology institutes, 2 great days! 🌿 PhDs & postdocs from DBMV @unil.bsky.social, @psb-vib.bsky.social & @rdplab.bsky.social rocked the 2nd Trilateral Plant Bio Symposium in Lausanne! 👏 Big congrats to all ECRs, especially to @nathan-german.bsky.social for winning Best Presentation! 🏆💥

🌱 What happens when lateral root primordia (LRPs) fail to emerge? Using our new lineage tracing tool LRTracker, Xin discovered that arrested LRPs don’t just disappear—they gradually switch fate and become part of the cambium, contributing to secondary growth.1/x www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Amazing work by the equally amazing @maitesaura.bsky.social in a large collaborative project with Tina Kyndt, Tom Beeckman and Carolina Escobar! So proud to share this with the community!

We are happy to present the magnum opus of Sjoerd Woudenberg, at the close of his PhD – Transgenerational inheritance of the polarity axis in a fern embryo…a thread (1/17) tinyurl.com/4y53xekv

Some Impressions of the FASEB Mechanism of Plant Development - 110 attendees, two keynotes, 46 Talks & 83 posters but one passion: understand plant development 🌱🧪🔬🧑‍💻 #PDevSRC

Excited to share that our latest research on plant stem cell awakening is now out in Nature Plants! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Final Program announced for the Mech. of Plant Development FASEB (Aug 24-28 in Southbridge MA USA).: tinyurl.com/2cfa8keo

1/n What triggers plants to start growing thicker (radial growth)? We discovered that a transient cytokinin response maximum acts as a switch to initiate this process in roots. So proud to share the work I started as an undergrad, now in Nature Plants! 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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

📅New #PlantSciEvents Event Added: 11th International Symposium on Root Development🌱 👉 buff.ly/Y29T13z #PlantScience

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

Very much looking forward to the #PVB2025 meeting in beautiful Osaka 🇯🇵

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...

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 We used single-cell RNA-seq + GRN analysis to uncover novel morphogenic genes that boost #maize transformation frequency 🌽 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thanks to @vandepoelelab.bsky.social @bertderybel.bsky.social and all other co-authors! #PlantScience

Our latest on cell death and our second on maize: Using single-nucleus RNAseq of maize endosperm, Nicolas Doll (now @rdplab.bsky.social‬) shows that KIL transcription factors promote endosperm cell death to facilitate embryo growth - with a genomic imprinting twist! academic.oup.com/plcell/advan...

And just like that #ICAR2025 is over! With our prize winners, a special appearance from the legendary Marc Van Montagu & a thank you to our hosts Tom Beeckman & @moritznowack.bsky.social, we can now hand over the baton to Singapore for #ICAR2026! See you all there for more excellent #plantscience!
