Only a few days left to apply! My group is looking for a postdoc to engineer and deploy new tools to precisely manipulate and decode how auxin coordinates plant morphogenesis. @starmorph-syg.bsky.social Research Associate - Reprogramming Development (closes 7 October 2025)

Very excited to see our @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science! (1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.

Looking for a friend 🙃 Does anyone have a reliable protocol for plasma membrane isolation/enrichment from N. benthamiana leaves, ideally for downstream proteomics. Got one that works? Please share or repost! 🌱🧬 #PlantProteomics #Protocols #NicotianaBenthamiana #MembranePrep

Up next, we have a workshop on power abuse in science, hosted by Be COSMOPOLITE (-> linkedin.com/company/be-cosmopolite) and organized by the MAdLand EDI Committee. We look forward to engaging conversations! #MAdLand2025 #EDI #AcademicEquity

Starting our short talk sessions with Deepti Varshney @dvarshney.bsky.social from Freiburg, sharing insights on inferring the nature of the most recent common ancestor of plants #MAdLand2025

Growth Switch Uncovered That Enhances Plant Adaptability scienmag.com/new-growth-s...

Dear @dfg.de & @erc.europa.eu Why don't you do the same? What's stopping us from adopting this model to all tax-payer funded research in Europe? journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Here's 123 new bryophyte genomes for you! Apparently, bryophytes time and again include microbial genes in their genomic repertoire, and occupy a langer gene space than vascular plants. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Proteins can form condensates to boost interactions and gene control. This week @gjjang.bsky.social (from @mpi-ie.bsky.social) shows how plants use them in transcription and epigenetics, and how super-resolution microscopy reveals them in vivo. 📅 Fri, Sep 26 | 🕥 10:15 |📍KS 00.009 #PlantScience

News on PILS & ERAD! Big congrats to @seinabnoura.bsky.social @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social and colleagues!

It’s official. Today I was appointed as full professor for Plant Physiology at the University of Würzburg. Looking forward to the challenge and many interactions.

🌱 Wie steuern Pflanzen ihr Wachstum? Ein Team der BOKU University und @uni-freiburg.de hat einen neuen Mechanismus entdeckt: PILS-Proteine wirken wie ein molekularer Schalter und regulieren das Hormon Auxin. ℹ️ short.boku.ac.at/p94g8p000000... Publiziert in Science Advances: doi.org/10.1126/scia...

1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources. In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The future of @cibss.bsky.social @uni-freiburg.de is about teamwork, curiosity, and collaboration across disciplines. We are thrilled to be in this together @kraftlabfr.bsky.social @archaellum.bsky.social @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social !

11 years ago I did experiments which contribute to the cool story from @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social @seinabnoura.bsky.social about how the ERAD machinery controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES for acclimative growth. Science often requires quite some time: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
