We are happy to announce the start of the MechanoBioTalks – Mechanics, Materials and Living Matter an initiative organized by GreenTE young researchers. The aim of the webinars is to bring together researchers interested in biomechanics, biophysics and biology. Register here: green-te.nl/activities/

[...]I also think it is inspiring and humbling to study organisms that I and other humans are utterly dependent on, but that do not need us at all.[...]

The first GreenTE workshop took place in Wageningen on October 14th-17th, 2025. The workshop was attended by 28 young researchers and lots of new collaborations started to develop. Exciting times and great science coming up!

Using precise spatial and temporal analysis, researchers in Science provide insight into how bacteria around the root interact both with the plant and with each other. Learn more in this week's issue: https://scim.ag/3WgNajk

New preprint from our lab. Xin Wang developed a handy genetic tool called #RootTracker to follow fate of lateral root primordia (LRP). He showed that arrested LRPs gradually obtain cambium identity and contribute to the secondary growth. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
