Check out our new review on peptide ligands in plants, published in @annualreviews.bsky.social : 🌱🧬 @melinkab.bsky.social www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Still need a name for these… Ara-Roses?

openRxiv has arrived! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of openRxiv as an independent, researcher-led nonprofit to oversee bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world’s leading preprint servers for life and health sciences. openrxiv.org/introducing-... #openRxiv #OpenScience #Preprints #bioRxiv #medRxiv

Would you like to speak at an upcoming Development presents… webinar? We're looking for self-nominations from postdocs – based outside of the US and Europe – looking to transition to an independent position within the next year or so. #DevBio #StemCell #FuturePI @dev-journal.bsky.social

*Tenured full Professorship in Genetics and Molecular Cell Biology* at the University Of Cologne, Germany It's an opportunity to rebuild the place that used to be home to luminaries including Benno Müller-Hill, Max Delbruck, Campos-Ortega, Diethard Tautz Maria Leptin, Thomas Langer

New round of the Lise Meitner Excellence Program for tenure track group leaders in @maxplanck.de institutes opened today -- please consider applying! The program aims to recruit and promote exceptionally qualified female scientists. Because diversity increases excellence! www.mpg.de/lise-meitner...

Great collaboration with @yvonjaillais.bsky.social 🌱 Plants use membrane contact sites (MCS) for cell-to-cell signaling! ➡️ MCTP tethers & PI4P regulate ER-PM contacts in plasmodesmata, impacting trafficking. ➡️ MCS roles span intra- and intercellular communication. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

It has been nearly 20 years since I lived in the US, but I still have strong ties, friends and family there. The last month (has it only been a month?) has been hard to watch from the outside, and I can only imagine how much more difficult it is on the inside. @eseb.bsky.social sums it up well.

Our methods paper made it to bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2025... Full #cryoET workflows for #plant tissues. Plus some general tricks and tweaks on serial Lift-Out and cryo-FLM. 🧪🧵1/5 #teamtomo #PlantScience #Physcomitrium #Arabidopsis #cryoEM #CLEM

I have resigned my Fellowship of the #RoyalSociety due to their Council's inability to act proportionately on #ElonMusk. See fediscience.org/@A_J_Millar/...

Congratulations Marc @somssich.bsky.social 🥇🎊 He receives this year's #SciComm Award of @molplantsci.bsky.social for explaining #plantsci results by putting them into the respective historic contexts and for portraying plant scientists. Read more: www.pflanzen-molekularbiologie.de/en/sci-comm#...

😍 Welcome @molplantsci.bsky.social , our Section Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology who organises the well-known conference Molecular Biology of Plants #MBP2025 in Hennef, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, 10 - 13 February 2025

New paper alert! The Dagdas group @plantophagy.bsky.social discovered that the molecule ATG8 protects the vacuole when the cell wall is damaged. This mechanism ensures that the highly pressured vacuole, essential to the plant cell, remains intact. Read more: bit.ly/4aLCZK9

Volker Wissing wurde die letzten Jahre (zu Recht) hart kritisiert. Dieser Tage sollte er gefeiert werden. Als stabiler Demokrat, als Liberaler mit Herz und Verstand, der sich dem Tabubruch von Merz und Lindner erfolgreich widersetzt hat. Vielen Dank! 👏🏳️‍🌈✊

Have you ever wondered how plants pattern their dehiscence zone when they don't have components of the Arabidopsis network? We tried to find out in California poppy and...., SEEDSTICK is not involved! But required to restrict endocarp growth. tiny.cc/ythzzz #PlantScience #EvoDevo #Ranunculales

Our latest paper is finally out, showing that it is (somewhat) possible to derive phylogenies from protein sequences with long stretches of intrinsically disordered regions, like for the exciting C1-1i zinc fingers. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #PlantScience #PlantEvoDevo #Bryophytes #Ferns

We are very happy to welcome Yasin Dagas soon starting as a Heisenberg professor at COS. Yasin's topic is evolutionary cell biology focusing on autophagy in plants and beyond. www.oeaw.ac.at/gmi/research... @dfgpublic.bsky.social
