Exciting news! 📢 For the first time ever, the 9th International Plant Phenotyping Symposium (IPPS9) is coming to Africa! 🇬🇭 🗓️ Oct 12–16, 2026📍 Accra, Ghana🤝 Hosted by WACCI & IPPN Stay updated: ipps9.org #IPPS9 #PlantScience #FoodSecurity

Don’t forget the basic research that made it all possible. Ozempuc originally comes from discoveries from Gila monster venom. Let’s stop the attacks on basic research, and enable the discoveries of the future. SamForNJ.org

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy

This is nothing less than a breakthrough. What a phantastic paper. So happy to see it out after five years. The influence of electrical charge on plasmodesma conductivity | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Bumping this and flagging some corny folks - anyone know the best place for PH207 seeds (and if there are RILs or NILs)? @jefowlerjr.bsky.social @jrossibarra.bsky.social @carolynplants.bsky.social @maizegdb.bsky.social @maizezynskihi.bsky.social

Exciting news to share today! My grad student @ohazel.bsky.social Olivia received Linda Matsuuchi award! 🎉🍀🔬 She is the only grad student within the entire Faculty of Science from UBC @science.ubc.ca @ubcbotany.bsky.social received the award this year! www.ashraflab.com/mentees-succ...

Okay maize folks- does anyone know if there are genetic resources for PH207 - specifically RIL or NIL lines? (And is GRIN the best place to get the PH207 parental line?)

Here is a graph with dollar amounts of funding committed. The curves look very similar to those based on the number of awards.

This is a hill I will absolutely die on.

“We can’t stop heatwaves or snow storms,” said UBC botanist Dr. Arif Ashraf. “So we’re pinpointing genes that can help the plants recover from these events and still produce in time for harvest.” @ubcbotany.bsky.social @aribidopsis.bsky.social science.ubc.ca/news/2026-03...

Our Review "Development, Anatomy and Integrated Function of Grass Leaf Veins and Graminoid Stomata" is out doi.org/10.1146/annu... Alec Baird and I discuss the development and function of the anatomical structures that regulate water supply (leaf veins) and water demand (stomata) in the grass leaf.

Hiding in plain sight! 2.3M conserved non-coding sequences traced back 300M years across 284 plant species Ground-breaking study out in First Release @science.org from labs of @madelaineb.bsky.social, @idane.bsky.social & Zach Lippman ▶️ doi.org/10.1126/scie... ▶️ www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/news/hiding-...

“A program with a 0.5% success rate is not elite. It’s wasteful. Thousands of highly trained scientists will sink dozens of hours into writing proposals with vanishing odds of success. This is not just inefficient — it’s disrespectful of scientific labour.” Very well said @kamounlab.bsky.social!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I am pleased to share this paper. A beautiful and useful collaboration between a group of researchers and lecturers who care about plant Science education. Thank you to all that contributed! Check it out! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Come work with us!! We have a great group of plant biologists already, and there are FOUR searches for new plant biologists of different flavours across campus. We also have an outstanding group of animal physiologists (including @mstager.bsky.social ). Please apply!!

Hey plant developmental biologists! Want to do great science with a great guy in a great place? @oconnord.bsky.social is looking for a postdoc to join his lab at Colorado State: oconnorlab.colostate.edu/wp-content/u... #devbio #plantscience #botany #bioimaging #microscopy

Brilliant use of gfp-tagged transposons & automated scoring of kernels, combined with differential style-lengths along maize ear, to screen for genes underlying pollen competition in maize. Diana gave a banger of a presentation on this in #Zeavolution this morning. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My department is hiring a herbarium manager: www.schooljobs.com/careers/uvu/... It's a great place to work with a close knit botany group 🙂

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

For no reason at all, my brain has started parsing "Bluesky" as "Blues-key". I kinda like it.

"A teaching and training framework to promote findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data generation in agriculture" Excellent, free, online curriculum!! This is so needed. Please share widely. academic.oup.com/database/art...

I’m so happy to share my official tenure!! Super grateful to my amazing research team (past & present), all the letter writers, my mentors, and the cheerleaders who helped me achieve this career goal 💯🌽🍾🤓 www.provost.iastate.edu/faculty-succ...

An important consequence of the analysis by Paajanen et al is that the 'cell-to-cell mobile RNA' user-defined description listed under Gene Ontology by TAIR is a classification based on flawed analyses. Be careful! #PlantScience

#plantproteolysis2025 cont'ing with another very talented grad student, Jodi Callwood from @diorkelley.bsky.social lab, giving a fantastic talk on #ubiquitination & quantitative #proteomics www.gdcb.iastate.edu/people/dior-...

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Unpopular opinion: Not all research needs to be 'groundbreaking'. Small, incremental advancements are just as valuable.
