Looking forward to RBMP 2026 in Bilbao, where I’m honored to join as a keynote speaker. A central meeting for plant molecular biology in Europe. Don’t miss it.

Phosphorus is essential for global food production, yet its supply is limited. PRI researchers have now uncovered a signaling pathway that explains how plants delay flowering when phosphorus runs low, opening doors to nutrient-efficient crops. @hatem-rouached.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social

🚨 New in Developmental Cell @Dev_Cell Our team uncovered how plants sense phosphorus deficiency and delay flowering — a molecular “switch” that links nutrient stress to development. A step toward breeding nutrient-smart crops! authors.elsevier.com/a/1m2id5Sx5g... @MSU_PRI @MSUAgBio @MSU_PSM

Fantastic PhD opportunity to join myself, Nicola Patron and @lichmanlab.bsky.social in uncovering the biosynthesis and function of lettuce sesquiterpene lactones. 4-year fully-funded combining molecular & engineering biology, & plant pathology. Deadline Nov 25th www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

📢Announcement! The call for 𝐓𝐏𝐉 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 is now open! 🌟 It is designed to offer support and mentorship to researchers transitioning from post-doctoral scientists to principal investigators Info: 👉http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1365313x/homepage/TPJ-fellowships & in 🧵

New Article: "Gene body methylation regulates gene expression and mediates phenotypic diversity in natural Arabidopsis populations" rdcu.be/eGD0G With News & Views: "Adaptation beyond the DNA sequence" rdcu.be/eGD03

✨Redefining epigenetic variation in evolution. Our @NaturePlants paper shows gene body DNA methylation as a major force shaping expression, traits, and adaptation in plants. Synergy with Shahzad @ShahzadZaigham & Zilberman Labs—congrats🎉. rdcu.be/eFRJy @MSU_PRI

Thank you to the organizers for the kind invitation and the excellent organization of #IPNC2025 in Porto. It’s been a real pleasure to participate and connect with such a dynamic and inspiring community.

📅 Save the date! Plant Energy Management: Molecular Mechanisms of Growth and Stress Responses 📍 Montpellier, France 🗓️ July 12–15, 20

PRI faculty members @emjo.bsky.social, @hatem-rouached.bsky.social, and Addie Thompson have been promoted to associate professors! Each of these scholars has made exceptional contributions to advancing #plantresilience research and mentoring the next generation of scientists. 🌱 Congratulations! 🎉

What will happen when we run out of phosphorous? 🥀 @hatem-rouached.bsky.social talks about ARSK1 & TORC1 interactions to regulate growth under P-deficiency #ICAR2025 See also review on the effects of low P on root nodule symbiosis by @oswaldovaldesl.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/pcp/...

The world is facing a phosphorus crisis — an often-overlooked threat to global food security. At the Rouached Lab @msupri.bsky.social , we’re working to turn this crisis into an opportunity — by reimagining how plants access and use P more efficiently. youtube.com/watch?v=c8LH...

Great team effort! Congrats to all co-authors — dive in and enjoy the read!

Our lab explores how TOR signaling shapes plant responses to nutrient stress—especially phosphorus. Don’t miss this in-depth review! academic.oup.com/jxb/article/...

Thrilled to join leading minds at #ICAR2025 in Ghent and #IPNC2025 in Porto. Honored to speak and contribute to meaningful dialogue, spark fresh ideas, and help shape the future of plant nutrition research.

Congratulations to @hatem-rouached.bsky.social for receiving a 2025 CANR Established Mid-Career Researcher Award! 👏 Dr. Rouached is being recognized for his work on plant mineral nutrition which advances agricultural sustainability & environmental health!
