Our new Tansley Review reveals hydrogen isotopes in plant carbohydrates aren't just climate indicators - they're powerful tools for understanding how plants actually function and perform metabolically. - New Phytologist

We are pleased to announce the official release of PLAZA 5.1, our plant genomics platform, which comes with a major front-end redesign. This results in improved performance, enhanced visualization tools, and refined Toolboxes. Src: www.vandepoelelab.be/plaza/news#28

We're looking for a postdoc to join us in trying to map the routes by which different signals travel through plants and identify what information they carry. Link👇or get in touch! @johninnescentre.bsky.social #PlantSciJobs www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/po...
