Blue light promotes and dark inhibits aluminum resistance in Arabidopsis

True Nordic spirit! Looks like a fantastic outing - though some of you seem a little frozen in that outdoor photo.❄️ ☀️

Ice bath before Julbord, enjoying the sun when it is still out! Perfect end of the week with this fantastic group! @siamsadoyle.bsky.social @sharmavinod.bsky.social @rahulpvnewland.bsky.social @absolutemaverick.bsky.social @lorindaloi.bsky.social @loupitgreg.bsky.social

Thrilled to share our latest story on the ERAD machinery and how it controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES for acclimative growth www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What a cool story presented by @elkebarbez.bsky.social from @uni-freiburg.de at @umeaplantsciencecentre.se !!

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

Looks great! We are looking forward to hear more about the proceedings!

STARMORPH kick off went smoothly! Nice group of young scientists to work together with! Fantastic couple of days! @xanderjones.bsky.social @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social @nowako76.bsky.social @srobertgroup.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu @umeaplantsciencecentre.se

IN BRIEF: Sugar, we’re going down: PRC2-mediated epigenetic repression of sucrose metabolism promotes phototrophy during seedling establishment (Rory Osborne) doi.org/10.1093/plce... #PlantScience

Amazing how responsive different regions of the same tissue type is to tissue culture hormones! Here is the hypocotyl of a plant segmented into lower hypocotyl (seedling stem near root crown) left, middle hypocotyl, and upper hypocotyl right (seed stem near cotyledons).

Fun on the way!

STARMORPH kick off in @umeaplantsciencecentre.se ! People of the STARMORPH on their way or already enjoying north Sweden! @xanderjones.bsky.social @nowako76.bsky.social @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social @srobertgroup.bsky.social

This paper was dedicated to the memory of the late Joanne Chory: Coincidence detection of low temperature and blue light and the control of flowering (by A. Seluzicki & J. Chory) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Inducible RUBY expression in independent transformant lines of A.thaliana over 4 days. Several lines (top) show induction everywhere except the petals... cool but I'd prefer the opposite!!

Nice group effort and determination! Thanks to all involved!

STARMORPH is represented at the FASEB #PDevSRC meeting by @srobertgroup.bsky.social who has presented data from her group on apical hook development and cuticle.

Further evidence that sugar in the plates changes the plant biology you study. Best to avoid putting sugar in the agar, unless you want to study what sugar in the agar does to plants. This paper uses sugar in the agar to study what sugar does. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #plantresearch

Excited to start my new journey as a Postdoctoral Researcher at @srobertgroup.bsky.social SR Group, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences #SLU, @umeaplantsciencecentre.se! Looking forward 🤞🙏😇

Please find our latest paper in @pnas.org. Lots of work from a fantastic group: Qian Ma, Sijia Liu, @siamsadoyle.bsky.social , Sara Raggi and others including @luciastrader.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu @kawresearch.bsky.social @umeaplantsciencecentre.se www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

How do plants decide the fate of a wound and what to regenerate? Water availability! Abdul Kareem and colleagues show that regeneration outcomes after tissue cutting are controlled by water. A 🧵/n 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Who are we? @nowako76.bsky.social @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social @xanderjones.bsky.social @srobertgroup.bsky.social who work together to push the limits of plant morphogenesis understanding! First idea emerged in April 2023, granted in October 2024 by @erc.europa.eu! Starting date: March 2025!
