I think this is one of the most powerful displays of what genetic engineering can do. Flower size and organ identity changed. And flower colour changes in a temporal order. It shows we really understand flower development to a remarkable extent. Awesome @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social!

Kicking off our first talk with our invited speaker Annette Becker @plantevodevo-ab.bsky.social from Giessen on how land plant sexual reproduction became independent from water #MAdLand2025

Julian Garrecht from @plantevodevo-ab.bsky.social lab in Giessen, discussing the role of LEUNIG and SEUSS transcriptional regulators during land plant evolution #MAdLand2025

Have you ever wondered what’s inside the head of a flower? Researchers @ucalgary.bsky.social @helsinki.fi and the CLS used our synchrotron’s X-ray imaging to map the structure of daisy-like plants, revealing a vein network that moves water and nutrients. Paper: https://bit.ly/4mBnqcZ

Really looking forward to the start of this conference today 🙂.

The international ICIPS Symposium is starting NOW !

Another great talk today was by @ucdflowerpower.bsky.social Forget the drugs, cannabis plants have reinvented sex chromosomes! #ICIPS2025

Other highlights include getting to see a talk by Claudia Kohler about her group's advances in understanding the mechanisms underlying parental conflict in endosperm development, and Ned Friedman giving an amazing perspective on its origin. It makes ferns seem simple!

My favourite slide of the day, from Madeleine Bartlett. Angiosperm reproduction: simples, right..?

About to start day 2 of the International ICIPS Symposium focussed on the evolution of plant reproduction. I'm going to learn so much! #Plantscience #ICIPS2025

Amidst a great programme of topics @icips.bsky.social today, we had multiple gymnosperm research talks! I was really excited to see these kinds of projects coming through, they're going to be great for the field. 🙂 #ICIPS2025 #Plantscience

Day 3! Into the mysteries of double fertilization... #ICIPS2025

Final photo- just to show everyone the scale of the evo-repro-devo community out there. Auf wiedersehen, until next time (hopefully)! #ICIPS2025 #Plantscience
