Excited to share our new work on pollen tube growth in Arabidopsis thaliana! 🌱 We show that vacuolar and ER Ca²⁺-ATPases are key regulators of calcium dynamics during pollen tube growth. A great collaboration with the Muschietti and Estevez labs 🤝 academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...

So excited to welcome new Emmy Noether Fellow Dr. Sofia Doello to @lmu.de . We are thrilled to see where the journey will take you! Best of success for your start this summer.

Interesting study out: "plants share conserved metabolic infection response along with divergent, species-specific regulatory architecture" upon B. cinerea infection "explain(ing) the limits of resistance transfer and inform(ing) strategies for durable disease control." www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Flowering app: For many people today, botanical knowledge doesn’t go much beyond daisies, buttercups, and dandelions. But an #AI -based app is changing that. Flora Incognita can identify almost any plant in Central Europe within seconds. www.mpg.de/26484618/flo... #FloraIncognita #Biodiversity

Huge congratulations to our editor José Alonso on his election to the National Academy of Sciences! 🌱 @alonsostepanovalab.bsky.social @nationalacademies.org We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition of an outstanding scientist Congratulations, José! 💚 cals.ncsu.edu/news/nc-stat...

🌿 LMU Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities. This could help optimize #photosynthesis in crops. ☀️ #biology #lmumunich

In the 17th century, Johannes Kepler calculated the densest way to pack circles or spheres. Today, biophysicists are using his ideas to example how chloroplasts pack optimally in a plant cell.

So happy and proud to share our lab’s first #plantscience research article, revealing that angiosperms have the capacity to encode memory of flooding stress. A heroic effort by @aidamaric.bsky.social in collaboration with @djgibbs.bsky.social and others. A brief 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
