🌱 From FEBS Letters: Mass spectrometry quantifies free protein pools in phycobilisome (PBS), photosystem I (PSI) & photosystem II (PSII), revealing roles in assembly, photoprotection & energy transfer. (Steven M. Theg) ▶️ febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

So cool!

#UnPopularOpinion 😱

We need to invest more in understanding how to grow plants in unstable water availability lands. Here’s why: #PlantScience #DroughtStress #StressRecovery

Earlier this week I visited elementary school to talk about plant biology and how plants deal with stress, after the kids read the book #ArbitheModelPlant To my surprise, after I left the kids made me a bunch of drawings, can’t wait to see them all! The book: a.co/d/eERYItE #PlantScience #ScienceEd

Finally! An important step to #GiveGenesAChance was taken today: the member states of the European Union have agreed on a mandate for the further negotiations on the regulation of New Genomic Techniques like #CRISPR. Next step: Trialogue of Commission, Council and Parliament.

We are looking for a 2y postdoc in multi-omics data integration & analysis for Camelina sativa (an oilseed crop, close to Arabidopsis). Work with many international partners and profiting from our intensive IT and tool infrastructure. Please ReBluesky www.fz-juelich.de/en/careers/j... #plantjobs

WE’RE HIRING! Funded 3-year postdoc looking at the impact of chilling on maize 🌽 The project will be looking at chilling responses in roots and shoots 🌱❄️ including the role of ABA and photoinhibition. Applications close 28th March. More details below www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50591/

To plant scientists, from David Attenborough (by way of @somssich.bsky.social): #PlantScience

What a great resource, take a look!

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇

We are pleased to announce registration for RNA 2025 - the 30th Annual Meeting of the RNA Society - is now open! www2.rnasociety.org This year’s meeting will be held at the beautiful Town and Country Resort & Convention Center in sunny San Diego, California, USA from May 27th - June 1st, 2025.

Another insightful webinar part of the wonderful @plantcellatlas.bsky.social Plant Cell Identity Webinar Series. This time @keikoutorii.bsky.social and @justinwwalley.bsky.social gave us a perfect ratio of biology and technology excitement! youtu.be/rE-JP2T0SoA?... #PlantScience #PlantPostdocs

It’s no secret that we do our best work when it's less like work and more like a joy. That’s what we have in mind for the Woodstock Night Science conference. The idea is to have the most fun conference possible so that the good ideas flow and we all get inspired. That’s needed now more than ever!

*Please apply through TSL website. We will begin reviewing applications on March 24, 2025.

Recently, two papers showed the potential of population genetics in Marchantia from @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social and Dolan's lab. Here is my dispatch for Current Biology talking about them. www.cell.com/current-biol...

a great thrill and a great honor- thanks to all the great people who've passed through my lab over the last >30 years, and for the friendship and "mutual potentiation" of my co-honorees Jeff Dangl and Brian Staskawicz!

TSL is thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievement of @jonathandgjones.bsky.social, now a 2025 Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture along with Jeffery Dangl and Brian Staskawicz "for groundbreaking discoveries of the immune system and disease resistance in plants" www.tsl.ac.uk/news/jonatha...

Anything involving @itaiyanai.bsky.social? Count me in—no questions asked here either!! #MaybeIShouldHaveReadTheFinePrint

Congratulations! Can’t wait to dive in 👏🏻

Congratulations to the Wolf prize winners of 2025! #PlantScience #Agriculture

Michigan 🍒 plant scientists sequenced the sour cherry genome in 2023 to protect crops & save farmers money. Now, Food Innovation science, once funded by USAID, is being cut — explains Michigan scientist Madison Plunkert 🧪🏠 @madisonplunkert.bsky.social lansingstatejournal.com/story/opinio...

What I love most about science are unexpected discoveries-finding what was thought not to exist or imagined differently, even against our hypotheses. We uncover them by following curiosity & intuition. That’s why we’re hosting WoodstockNightScience, to spark bold ideas. Join us! #Science #Innovation
