🌿 PhD opportunity in forest molecular ecology! Study how trees and their microbiome respond to climate stress in the ECOSENSE forest 🌳 🧬 RNAseq | qPCR | Fieldwork | Interdisciplinary research 📅 Deadline: April 20, 2026 @uni-freiburg.de

Looking forward to this new @focalplane.bsky.social webinar series! Our microscopy expert @blace.bsky.social will be one of the speakers in the first session.

Celebrating excellence at our 4th DOMPS Symposium! 🎉 Best Paper of the Year went to @seinabnoura.bsky.social, and Best Poster prizes were awarded to @jsalfeld.bsky.social, @aroessling.bsky.social, and @sophiezoe.bsky.social. Incredible work by all! 👏👏👏

Laura Ragni (@lauraragni.bsky.social) would head first to the Alps and then to the tropics, to study cork cambium stem cells. By comparing species with different protective bark layers, using large-scale single-cell sequencing, she aims to understand how this lifelong tissue forms and regenerates.

Apply before April 23rd to join us as Associate Professor at Leeds jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

Ever wondered how the #cuticle, a hallmark of land plants, was established? In our latest study, we show that the CUTIN SYNTHASE enzyme family was a key driver of this evolutionary innovation. #plantscience ▶️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A thread 🧵 [1/8]

Our excursion to Syngenta Crop Protection Research Stein offered insights into seed care, chemistry, and product development. From designing active compounds to creating practical crop protection solutions, one key message stood out: innovation starts with “thinking like a farmer.”

A strong but thought-provoking statement by Malcolm Bennett on the 3rd day of our @dompsfr.bsky.social symposium. Perfect primer for lots of #plantscience discussion today 🌱

Our second keynote @likeyoda1.bsky.social gave a stellar talk on stomatal patterning in the Arabidopsis embryo 🌱

Incredible job of the @dompsfr.bsky.social organizers #ProudPi

#CIBSS is happy to support our local #PlantScience community and to facilitate scientific exchange and networking. Have a fantastic meeting full of meaningful interactions, exciting science and of course lots of fun together!

An essential part of our symposium is the Poster Speed-Dating, where our researchers (bachelor/master/PhD students) present their latest results in 5 minutes (+2 minutes Q&A). A fast and effective way to catch up on the newest research across the DOMPS community.

We started our 4th departmental symposium with a short introduction from our PhD representatives. We are very grateful for their work! If you would like to join a wonderful group of people and help drive change at the university level, reach out to them. 🙌🏻

Free feel to stop by and explore our posters!🥳 the 4th DOMPS symposium is running!!!
