Plant Science Research Weekly -- More than a trade-off: how growth inhibition protects plant genome integrity (Nature Comms.) @dalabadi.bsky.social @jorgehg.bsky.social @noelponte.bsky.social (Summary by Ching Chan) buff.ly/261Dl25 #PlantaePSRW

🌱 SPECIAL ISSUE CLOSING 🌱 🌱 Molecular Coding of Specificity in Plant Processes Editors: Julien Gronnier, Ruth Großeholz, Klaus Harter & @lauraragni.bsky.social Closing 30th Sept '25 Manuscripts welcome, please contact us (bit.ly/JXBissues?utm...) #JXBspecialissues #PlantScience 🧪 (1/2)

🌱 What happens when lateral root primordia (LRPs) fail to emerge? Using our new lineage tracing tool LRTracker, Xin discovered that arrested LRPs don’t just disappear—they gradually switch fate and become part of the cambium, contributing to secondary growth.1/x www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It was already known that auxins (surprise!) had a key role controlling the end of flowering, plant menopause. Now we can tell you how and where they act in the inflorescence meristem to control the process. @irenegonzlez.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%2825%2901002-4

New preprint! 🐛 Root-knot nematodes hijack root cells, turning them into feeding sites and making plants very sick. Using a cross-species scRNA-seq approach we mapped this process and show how this knowledge can be used to engineer resistant crops.🌱 A summary🧵 : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Honoured & excited that ‘Breathing Underground’ has been funded by the ERC! This will let me explore one of the most fundamental questions of plant life: how roots breathe underground? @erc.europa.eu

So happy to share the outcome of an incredible team effort! In this paper we present an Atlas describing how SUMO-PTM components coordinate stress responses in Arabidopsis root cells. Huge congratulations to everyone involved! Amazing work all around! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Time flies when you are having fun. In 2016 we wrote a review marking 10 years of TDIF-PXY. Group members Qing and Agnieszka wrote an update, out today in @newphyt.bsky.social. Do have a read. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A great example of how comparative genomics across the full range of vascular plant lineages can be used as a catalyst for gene discovery! Exciting new single cell datasets for gymnosperms, ferns and lycophytes! The scale of this study is really amazing! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

🌱 Our Perspective just published in Plant Hormones! We explore the opportunities & challenges of applying AI to plant hormone research, highlighting its potential for agriculture and the next phase of the Green Revolution. #AI #MachineLearning #PlantHormones 1/2 Read more:

Hey all! We have been awarded a Spanish national grant to keep researching. Best of all is we have a full PhD contract assigned. We are looking for candidates interested in molecular biology and evolution of (plant) transcription factors, please spread the word!! Check our web for more information.

Lo mataron hace cuatro años al grito de maricon. Se llamaba Samuel Luiz y su nombre resonará para siempre en nuestros corazones mientras seguimos luchando contra el odio que quiere aniquilarnos. Hoy el orgullo es más necesario que nunca. Por él y por el futuro que le robaron. 💪🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

After a lot of work, we are finally able to share this project about the cell cycle in Marchantia from the Haseloff lab. If you want to find out how cell division is controlled, you can’t miss out this one… #PlantScience #Synbio #EvoDevo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the daughter cells actually identical? By combining live-cell imaging and scRNAseq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Read our full paper in Cell: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... @nvukas.bsky.social @trevormnolan.bsky.social
