Happy to see this out and for the opportunity to contribute!! The puzzle of Asteraceae inflorescence development jumps one step forward (a big step 😅) 🌻

The Cereal Stem Cell Systems Consortium published a comprehensive review in Plant Cell on how meristems shape cereal architecture. If you are not a fan of cereals except for breakfast, your teaching will still benefit from the amazing figures! ‪@cerealcell.bsky.social‬ tinyurl.com/32a74xpd

(1/5) Thanks for sharing this article, Deepak. It's a must read, in my opinion. Some key parts from this article as a thread 🧵 rdcu.be/ee4X5

Do you want to know how mechanical interaction between tissue layers controls the formation of complex organ shapes in plants? 🔬🌼 🚨Our latest collaborative work with @routierlab.bsky.social is now published @natureplants.bsky.social Find out more👉 rdcu.be/efad3

Suomen Akatemian talvihaussa on arvioinnin aika. Tällä viikolla ohjelmassa oli peräti 13 kahden päivän arviointipaneelia. Se on henkilöstömääräämme nähden tosi paljon. Mutta kun kone on hyvin rasvattu, kaikki toimii. Mitä hakemusten jättämisen jälkeen on tähän mennessä tapahtunut? ⛓️ 1/9

Lähimetsät eivät ole vain kauniita maisemia, vaan tutkitusti elintärkeitä terveydellemme ja hyvinvoinnillemme. Kun metsä tuhotaan, sitä ei saada enää takaisin sukupolviin. Olen allekirjoittanut vetoomuksen lähimetsien säilyttämisen puolesta. www.sll.fi/vetoomus/

We’re excited to share our new preprint on wheat spike development! We used spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq to take a closer look at the different cell types and expression domains during key developmental stages of the wheat spike. Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Delighted to unveil the poster and speakers list of the Mechanism of Plant Development meeting. 2 keynotes by @bradylabs.bsky.social & @nikogeldner.bsky.social to honour the legacy of P. Benfey & J. Chory. Congrats to @minyaaa.bsky.social for her beautiful Mimulus image. ➡️ tinyurl.com/24fsjq6a

🙄 quantity over quality - we cannot emphasize enough research ethics - this is simply horrifying! #mdpi

Mielenkiintoista - miten yksittäisten tutkijoiden arviointi erotetaan kun #okm rahanjakomallissa yliopistoja palkitaan jufo-luokituksen mukaan julkaisuista? Kyllä meitä ”yksittäisiä” seurataan!

Don't miss your opportunity to attend New Phytologist next generation scientists, the FREE meeting for early career researchers in plant science. #npnextgen 4–7 July 2025 Birmingham, UK Apply to attend by 27 January! www.newphytologist.org/nextgenevent...

When I served on NIH review panels, I always thought: We need more *not so good* #plantscience proposals! The plant proposals were on average so much better than the rest, but as a 🌱 biologist, it was difficult to convince the other panel members that 🌱 scientists all punched above their weight.

If you are interested in plant stem cell systems, meristems and development of cereals: We are organising an international symposium on "Cereal Meristems and Stem Cell Systems", see attached announcement. www.cscs2025.de for more details
