Marchantia has two RBOHs. Double mutant = disorganized cell mass. Conditional mutant analyses show they are required to sustain morphogenesis via cuticle-cell-wall integrity. Clever study. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to share our newest preprint. We developed guidelines and analysis workflows for FLIM Imaging in plants. Multiplexing with spectrally overlapping fluorophores in plants is now possible. Have a look. Any feedback is more than welcome. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New research in Science reveals that the Venus flytrap's snap is triggered by a rapid softening of the epidermal cell walls, uncovering the physical mechanism behind this remarkable movement. Learn more in this week's issue: https://scim.ag/4fXQ9sn

Happy to share our new paper in @dev-journal.bsky.social . This project started while I was at Stanford with @stanfordstomata.bsky.social and was completed at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social by @pablidopsis.bsky.social . Find it here: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

We are pleased to be supporting the XVII Plant Cell Wall Meeting, which is taking place in Porto, Portugal next week. For more information: cellwall2026.org

Looking forward to reading this, I have had a soft spot for salamanders since these took over our cellar/cave! 🦎🦎🦎

Thank you for the highlight @natplants.nature.com! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cool special issue on plant evolution just dropped at @currentbiology.bsky.social our 2 cents: Fruits of tons of fun discussions with the one and only Susana Coelho: www.cell.com/current-biol... Reflections on evolution of auxin response with @jorgehg.bsky.social : www.cell.com/current-biol...

We know a lot about how roots grow but far less about why they stop, decline and die. In our recent @theplantcell.bsky.social review, Feng Qin connects the biology of root growth and root aging, highlighting opportunities to extend root function, enhance crop productivity, and increase soil carbon.

Many thanks to Yue Rui and @josedinneny.bsky.social for generously involving us into this great story. Amazing appreciation of the work of @nikolajabel.bsky.social. Congratulations to all authors.

Register for the meeting in time, we also offer exciting opportunities to get to know my country Bulgaria 🇧🇬 🌹!

It won’t take you years to publish your work in JCS: most articles go from submission to acceptance in under 5 months. We also show a strong commitment at first decision, with over 95% of revisions being accepted. Find out more: journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/re... #forscientistsbyscientists

This is a landmark for C4 rice - huge effort by the whole team

I am happy to annonce that our paper on Expansion microscopy (ExM) applied to cyanobacteria got published! With Peter Bos and Emilie Wientjes from my internship in WUR 🌱✨ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The 1st #PlantWallK meeting brought together 80+ researchers. Cell biologists, physicists, biochemists, modellers, all converging on 1 structure: the plant cell wall. Two days of talks, posters, and cross-disciplinary debate later, the collaborations are set. The work begins! #PlantBiology #CellWall

So proud to share our latest publication @CellCellPress! Yue Rui reveals that the same enzyme that makes the wall, cellulose synthase complex (CESA), also tethers the plasma membrane to the wall during water-deficit stress, providing resilience. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out @nathan-german.bsky.social and Antoine Chevalier on edge!

"I would like to emphasize the importance of question-driven science...young scientists might enjoy science more if they are thinking about questions rather than just collecting data" journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

"Over the last 7 yrs, we published >700 ‘First Person’ interviews...But JCS has been around much longer – in fact, JCS was first established in 1853 as the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science (QJMS), re-branded as JCS in 1966" @jcellsci.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Thrilled to announce our newest preprint on #dedifferentiation in Arabidopsis 🧬🌱. We used scRNA-seq and hormone treatments to track transcriptional reprogramming in diverse somatic cell types and found what we think is some pretty cool biology. Feedback welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Plasmodesmal closure triggers stress responses! Turns out cells are generally better off with connections to their neighbours. This manuscript represents a decade-long team collaboration, with heroic effort from Estee Tee to lead it over the line! #PlantScience link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A long road with this one, with many questions still to answer, but out now in @embojournal.org! RAB-A2a, Kin12s and TIO interact to coordinate membrane-phragmoplast dynamics during cytokinesis. Big thanks to @ckirchhelle.bsky.social for letting me explore this! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Incredibly proud of this paper showing how plants couple vesicle delivery and phragmoplast expansion during division. This project started in the lab of the great and late Ian Moore, and it was a joy to finish it with @liamelliottplants.bsky.social et al! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We are very happy and proud to present a study led by @jorgehg.bsky.social (now PI in Madrid – keep an eye on him!) in our team @bic-wur.bsky.social. In this work, we discover how auxin-regulated ARF transcription factors learned to activate transcription. A 🧵…(1/17) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

These images show live embryos of animals (jellyfish, crustacean, worm, sea urchin, sea squirt, beetle) and one of animals closest single-celled relatives. They were captured taking advantage of fluorescent proteins localised on the outer membrane of cells, allowing us to observe cell outlines. 1/9

Over the moon to see this work from my PhD finally published in Development! Using a combination of structural biology and genetics we identify an avidity-driven mechanism of BMP signal control in the extracellular space. (1/11)

Happy to share the third chapter of my postdoctoral adventure at @mpipz.bsky.social ➡️doi.org/10.64898/2026.04.20.719616 We used C. chenopodiifolia's ability to produce explosive aerial fruit and non-explosive underground fruit to identify REVOLUTA's role in cell fate and wall patterning🌿💥 ⬇️🧵
