🌱Are you interested in epigenetic, stress responses & priming? Join us at the @episeedlink.bsky.social international conference "Priming, stress & epigenetic memory: an integrated view from model plant to crops" 📅 9th-10th February,2026 📍 Amsterdam 👉 Don’t just watch science happen, be part of it!

Y aquí va la distribución completa de proyectos: - 2/3 partes de los proyectos tienen 50.000€ o menos por año. Esto no cambia. - La financiación media por proyecto baja ligeramente (2%) respecto al PID2023. - El porcentaje de éxito cae al 46% (49% en el PID2023). La ciencia en España se estanca. 😕

The discovery, published in @NatureComms and led by Elena Monte and @marti_qc from CRAG in collaboration with the @UmeaPlantSci, shows that chloroplasts can switch on photosynthesis genes by modifying histones, clear evidence of epigenetic control in early plant development.

#2025ISMPMI Nuria Sanchez Coll gives insights on Ralstonia solanacearum resistance reactions of tomato. Suberinaccumulation in the vasculature is leading to resistance.

We just published our work in #ScienceAdvances "Parallel evolution of salinity tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions from Cape Verde Islands" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Short summary and credits follow:

Most surprising discover of my career to date 😲. Most assume mustard plants do not associate w/ AMF. Our research shows that AMF promote invasive mustard growth without forming arbuscules 🤯. This may be a new pathway in which AMF can enhance plant growth 🍄🌱 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
