Looking for reviewers before Christmas

Since I became an editor I have stopped submitting manuscripts in December.

𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗶 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵🌟𝗧𝗣𝗝 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 Group Leader at the University of Essex and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow. Her work focuses on boosting photosynthesis & water use efficiency in rice for climate-smart agriculture. A journey spanning 🇮🇳, 🇺🇸 & 🇬🇧 fuels her cutting-edge research

I would like to express a recombinase in the germ line of #Arabidopsis for a short time. Can somebody recommend a promoter? Egg cell might make most sense? Needs to be weak as I am looking for incomplete recombination #plantscience #generegulation

Hi Bluesky community! 👋 Are you looking forward to 2025 as much as we are? 👀 We just updated our 2025 Annual Poster to include even more events for you to join, so go and have a look! ➡️ s.embl.org/poster-bl #EMBLEvents #molecularbiology #lifesciencetraining

This conference looks like a fabulous opportunity to rethink concepts. I’d be most interested in the role of noise in regulation. Alas I am teaching.

Everyone is talking about how science bluesky is taking off. So I am back on social media. Also, maybe not quite coincidentally, I am also back in other ways. Just got notice that our Future proofing plants application was funded by @dfgpublic.bsky.social

Apply for it. I very much look forward being there! ispl2024.unl.edu

Are you kidding me? What a cool tool. I can think of four running projects in which we could use this. Quite amazing!

This is the “great hall” of my university. All our buildings here have a central connection. I love watching the hussle and bussle here I am just out of my lecture for first years. They are a delight. I love my job. (admin work in twenty minutes)

Ok getting going. Plant biologists please follow for a follow back. Let's rebuild this thing in a better environment than Musk world.

Hello! JXB is now on Bluesky. Please reconnect if you knew us from Twitter. Interested in the latest plant science research? Please give us a follow. If you know another researcher who would like our botany posts, we would be grateful if you tag them in the comments below (if they wouldn't mind)!

[Please repost] Looking for a PhD program that goes from molecules to ecosystems? Look no further, and apply to us! I'm offering two projects, on the 1001 Genomes Plus project and on investigating functional diversity in the plant immune system www.phd.tuebingen.mpg.de/8387/detlef-...

Boron response in oilseed rape. The connection to defense responses surprised me. I’d shed my flowers, too, if I thought they carried a pathogen. This one took a long time, very proud that Bart Verwaaijen saw it through! Great collab with the Bienert lab. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

@donat.bsky.social handed his thesis in. The last one of the first round of PhDs to hand in. A few more papers to go. And then I only see them at conferences and - hopefully - reunions. Onwards!

Fabulous work! A highland teosinthe introgression. I’d never guessed that. I especially like the ancient sample data addition. (And the structured abstract is really easy to read and understand, so I highly recommend opening the link posted below).

I just finished a galley of THE LIGHT EATERS, by Zoe Schlanger, and I cannot say enough good things about it. If you liked AN IMMENSE WORLD and thought, "But what about plants??", then Zoe has written the book for you. I see it as a sister publication to mine. Out next May. Pre-order now!

I will never recover from this student email.

Photosynthetic enhancers I might want to add to the title. I need to read this one again. The light dark changes are intriguing.

“may be surprisingly malleable, even on ecological timescales” Gene regulation as a quantitative trait with precise description. Fascinating read.

I have wondered about how different N-sources affect increases in carbon assimilation. Still wonder about the mechanism but this at least is a fact - in wheat. Arabidopsis fertilization with ammonia or nitrate or mix in high CO2 chambers. Did anyone do that already? #plantscience

And here is one of them. We model gene regulatory networks, compare them and analyze evolution of photosynthesis. By comparing multiple networks we find high confidence regulators for photosynthesis (or any pathway you care to study really); @donat.bsky.social again www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In her webiner today, Amanda pointed out that she has opportunities for two postdocs. She's wonderful - a real gem. Great work too!

Just a reminder we are looking to recruit an Associate Professor here at Oxford Biochemistry. Application deadline soon! Please repost

For the record, having two grant applications due, two manuscripts to edit, and challenging discussions among faculty on the same day is a bit too much. And the sun is out for the first (and likely last) time in weeks. Oh well. I still love my job.

Based on the abstract, this looks great. Need to read and need to re-analyze the underlying data. I wonder how our photosynthetic TFs behave … #plantscience

This looks really helpful for newly sequenced genomes (of which we have a few still to analyze). Congrats @weberlab.bsky.social members who were involved!

There is more space compared to pre-pandemic years. Send yourself - and bring a PhD student!

Please spread the word: we have a fully funded ARIES_DTP PhD project available to carry out a comparative phylogenetic analysis of plant diversity using the leaf economic spectrum and hyperspectral reflectance. Based at Essex with placement at Beth Chatto Gardens www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships...

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1438...? Call for papers!We are happy to receive contributions to our Special Issue on Plant Chemodiversity in the journal “Plant Biology” #PlantScience. 👇

Hey Blueskiiers, I have an open position for a PhD student to study phylogenetic models. Topics include evolution, popgen, epidemiology, stats, machine learning, etc. Applications are due by Dec 1st. Please share! landislab.org (email address here) dbbs.wustl.edu/admissions/a... 🧪 #evosky #episky

We keep writing stories up - @donat.bsky.social is the lead author on our work on transcriptional networks in #chlamydomonas which control #photoacclimation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'd be grateful for some critique - the reviewers were not kind exactly.

Well, I abandoned the bird for the blue sky. What do I do here? Is it still tweeting?

🔊 A fantastic new resource has dropped: The #Marchantia pangenome from 133 #NaturalAccessions! Great work Chloe Beaulieu, Cyril Libourel, Maxime Bonhomme, @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social et al. To celebrate, I have created a FEED to compile Marchantia and #PlantEvoDevo posts bsky.app/profile/did:...
