The Marcus Wallenberg Prize Symposium From Tree Genomes to Future Forest November 4, 2025 🌳 Still open for online participation! www.mwp.org/mwp-symposiu...

Here is looking at trees🌳 and cultivation of local truffles #Tuber_aestivum on #Gotland recently! Truffle goes very well with oaks and hazel and these was part of research conducted by the expert and senior lecturer Dr. Christina Wedén, Uppsala Univ. (host of visit).

Finally, the fruit of our labour investigating salt stress in wild-type and RNAi trees affected in timing🌳⏰! I am very happy to have this work out 😍 Thanks to all involved and fabulous collaborations between Chilean and Swedish groups 🥂✨ rdcu.be/eI1vq

I managed to catch the Midnight sun at Midsummer's Eve in Abisko, Sweden (LL IRL for #Circadian ⏰☀️ folks)! Spring is late, with Rhododendron lapponicum 🌺 in full bloom. Luckily I met several Bluethroats, thanks to my colleagues ringing birds by the Abisko Scientific Research Station😊

Super happy to share our latest in @natcancer.nature.com co-led by @pannunziolab.bsky.social! We review the complex role of the circadian clock in genome integrity, DNA repair, immunity, metabolism, and cancer with a specific focus on early-onset cancer. Check it out! www.nature.com/articles/s43...

The beauty of our boreal #forests, #Calypso_bulbosa #Umeå or #Norna in Swedish! Thanks to the keen and trained eyes of ‪@hanneletuominen.bsky.social‬ we found this flowering specimen in mid forest🌲, and a few in vegetative state too :-)

Many thanks for the interest and opportunity to introduce on Swedish national TV, our recent research and great potential of using circadian clock work in adapting trees to different latitudes and climates ⏰🌳 #Treegrowth #circadian #daylight #TV4 www.tv4.se/artikel/7Lot...

Tack till TV4 för möjligheten att tala om vår senaste forskning och potentialen den cirkadianska klockan besitter för anpassning av träd till 'nya' breddgrader och klimat, ⏰🌳 #Treegrowth #circadian #daylight #TV4 www.tv4.se/artikel/7Lot...

Last week, UPSC Director Ove Nilsson presented our tree phenotyping platform to the Swedish Minister for Climate and the Environment Romina Pourmokhtari and talked about modern tree breeding techniques. Look here for some impressions from her visit (text in Swedish only): www.slu.se/ew-nyheter/2...

👏 🧪 Congratulations to our former PhD students Varvara Dikaya, Nabila El Arbi and @sanchalinanda.bsky.social who officially received their doctoral insignia during the Spring Graduation Ceremony @umeauniversitet.bsky.social on Saturday - joining a 400 year old Swedish tradition 🎉!

An amazing opportunity in forest related research - the Young Researchers’ Challenge, at the 2025 Marcus Wallenberg Prize www.mwp.org/young-resear...

I have a PhD project funded by the John Innes Foundation, "Uncovering Genetic Drivers of Gene Expression in Elite Wheat Varieties", from the 1st of October 2025. #wheat #bioinformatics Apply now www.earlham.ac.uk/studentship/...

Adjusting trees' circadian clocks may enhance their growth and resilience to climate change, offering potential advancements in forestry and improved predictions in global vegetation models. doi.org/g9fmr4

For those that want some Swedish forest feel 24/7 ... "For several thousand years the moose have walked the same path to get to the rich pastures of summer. Follow the walk live from Kullberg in the north of Sweden." www.svtplay.se/den-stora-al...

After a long and very successful career our plant cell wall expert Professor Ewa Mellerowicz is retiring. Ewa mentored & inspired many young scientists and her contributions to wood biology research are invaluable. Thank you for everything, Ewa, and all the best for the next chapter in your life!👏

🌍 Happy #Equinox! On 20 March 2025 at 09:01 GMT/10:01 CET, just a few moments ago, the Sun appeared directly above Earth's equator - with our planet neither tilting towards nor away from the Sun! (pic: @eumetsat.int, processed by ESA/S. Proud) See flic.kr/p/2qT1ZUu

🧪 INTERVIEW - Light drives photosynthesis, but an excess can harm plants.🌾 @sanchalinanda.bsky.social used a novel instrument that monitors the stress levels of plants to gain new insights on their energy dissipation mechanisms. Read more in this interview with her: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n...

👏Congratulations @treesandgrowth.bsky.social!

This year I celebrate 25 years since my findings on the role of Gibberellin 20-oxidase in diurnal growth of hybrid aspen; www.nature.com/articles/nbt... With our findings on photoperiodical regulation, these findings are still central for understanding tree growth and its circadian regulation 🌲🌳 ⏰

Don’t wait out four hard years: speak truth to power

Abundant clock proteins point to missing regulation in the plant circadian clock www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... first experimental determination of the abundance of transcription factors in Plants and for the circadian clock. It was such a challenge but finally out after peer review !!!
