ASPB announces Anna Amtmann (University of Glasgow) as the next Editor-in-Chief of Plant Physiology, succeeding Yunde Zhao. Anna brings a strong vision for scientific rigor, inclusive publishing, and innovation in scholarly communication. bit.ly/4sQzpGY

Thanks to @theplantjournal.bsky.social you can now enjoy a video 📺 abstract on the paper produced by our fabulous PhD students. Go an give it a 👀.

Our undergraduate researcher Jennifer Marron @jennamarron.bsky.social is graduating this semester and looking for a job! If you are looking for a candidate with molecular and computational biology skills as well as great time management and work ethic, look no further! Otherwise, please repost!

We are very close to reaching the registration cap for MECS2026. Given the strong interest, we have increased the number of participants from 100 to 120 and extended registration until April 12. Please note, however, that we can no longer accept poster submissions.

Our paper is now out in PNAS! Crops often show boron deficiency in volcanic soils. Here, we identified six variants in two key boron transporter genes, BOR1 and BOR2, that increase leaf boron in natural populations of A. thaliana from volcanic islands in Cape Verde. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🌱💚🎉 Sharing (again 😁) my review on regulation of chloroplast biogenesis. First work of my emerging research group at @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Thanks to everyone who visited & helped preparing #MBP2026 by @molplantsci.bsky.social @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social .

Excited to share our new publication! We show how regulators are dynamically expressed in time and space in Arabidopsis. doi.org/10.1111/plb....

We have officially launched our new lab website. 🥳 The site includes the automated literature curation on #mtDNA quality control and copy number regulation, which will appear on Mondays and Thursdays. Listen to the latest #NotebookLM generated podcast. 🧬 Explore the new site: osman-lab.de

On our way to setup the #MBP2026 meeting hosted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social. Super excited to meet all the wonderful peeps & 🤓 about #plantscience for a few days. See you all soon.

1/11 🔥 New preprint alert 🔥 We wanted to know what plants in the wild really care about. So we asked them 🎤. Here is what we learned: “Biotic-response networks are an important organizer of the transcriptome in wild Arabidopsis thaliana populations” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our work on #hornwort #pyrenoids is finally out in @science.org! 🎉 We uncovered how hornworts pack their Rubisco into pyrenoids and successfully recreated them in Arabidopsis. A key step toward engineering more efficient photosynthesis in crops @btiscience.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited to share our latest preprint. Arabidopsis thaliana has been the leading model for plant genetics - but most of what we know comes from growth chambers. Can this model also help us understand how climate shapes plants in the wild and reveal gene functions under real environmental variability?
