New paper out from the Synoxys lab! We asked an important question: what if plants sensed oxygen like animals do? what if we swapped the O2 sensing across? We built the system to find out. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #plantscience @syno2xis.bsky.social @beagiuntoli.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Wise words from Miltos "Be intellectually humble — if you are studying an interesting question, remember that the question is bigger than one’s intellect. Put your ego aside so you can learn from others, read a lot and respect your co-workers and colleagues at all levels."🙏

Goes along with saying” Never argue in front of data”

I have written a couple of threads 🧵 on "classic" #PlantScience papers. I always tag them with #PlantScienceClassics , but will also compile them here in this thread: 👇

New alleles of Arabidopsis BIK1 reinforce its predominant role in pattern-triggered immunity and caution interpretations of other reported functions www.nature.com/articles/s41...

At the end of 2024 I did a chronological round up of all the #plantscience in @science.org that year. So how did 2025 pan out? This year, I’m grouping papers thematically instead of chronologically so read on to find out what exciting plant science came out over the last 12 months. (1/22)

It was so much fun talking to you and sharing the backstory !!! Thank you for doing this @aribidopsis.bsky.social

Thrilled to have our paper out in @science.org. Cell division guides plant cell wall formation. Does the reverse hold? We show that bimodal pectin methylesterification, via PME5 mRNA nuclear sequestration, influences plant cell division and cell plate orientation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
