Few Plant science programmes are left in the UK and they are critical to train the next generation. This move by @uniofnottingham.bsky.social goes against recommendations made in the recent PS Education manifesto. Big mistake! Sign the petition! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

My students have set up a petition to persuade the University of Nottingham not to close our Plant Biology BSc course c.org/VPhzVVrHPS Please consider signing

DEGRONOPEDIA - a web server for identifying and predicting protein degradation signals across eukaryotic proteomes. Detailed guide by Natalia Szulc @lumirare.com and Wojciech Pokrzywa @wpokrzywa.bsky.social in Methods in Enzymology. @ispt-proteinterm.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How did oxygen-sensing evolve in plants? In collaboration with @syno2xis.bsky.social Great work from @lauradc.bsky.social et. al. #plantscience @leverhulme.ac.uk “ERFVIIs as transducers of oxygen-sensing in the evolution of land plant response to hypoxia” www.cell.com/molecular-pl...

Happy to see our latest paper by @drosborneplantsci.bsky.social et al out today in Developmental Cell @cellpress.bsky.social! We identify a role for VRN2-PRC2 in regulating light-responsive growth in Arabidopsis through the conditional epigenetic repression of PIF signalling. tinyurl.com/swbyff24

Bluetorial: Light and Life: The incredible life of Lubert Stryer I described my involvement with Lubert Stryer and how it led to one of the great opportunities of my life, taking over his textbook. Today, I detail his truly incredible life story.

Ubiquitin E3 ligases in the plant Arg/N-degron pathway From @petermabbitt.bsky.social and Keely Oldham A really informative and interesting review of the E3 ligases associated with the plant N-degron pathways

Flooding events are becoming increasingly common worldwide, therefore the research of @aidamaric.bsky.social is essential to understand the epigenetics caused by flooding stress. Plants primed by submergence or hypoxia show higher survival rates than naive plants under the second stress.

I think the best thing I learned this week is to add " -ai" at the end of a search term in google. It works!

First Bluesky post to share our review with the world! Is there anything, beyond oxygen biosensors, that SynBio can provide to the world of plant hypoxia? Check it out here! @plantphys.bsky.social academic.oup.com/plphys/advan...

First #Cardamine #Arabidopsis comparison across #Iberia: partially conserved genetic mechanisms of trichome pattern diversity, but different environmental drivers. In other words, a similar genetic machinery under contrasting evolutionary scenarios for the same trait doi.org/10.1093/plph...
