PAPER from @vanbreusegemlab.bsky.social and @moritznowack.bsky.social in @theplantcell.bsky.social academic.oup.com/plcell/advan...

Finally, here it is: after 12 years, and driven by the incredible hard work and innovation of two Ph.D. students, Bingyan Hu and Maria Prusicki, with biomathematical support from Katarina Stahlmann (UKE) — "A cytological framework of female meiosis in Arabidopsis". academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...

Now online at @natplants.nature.com ‼️ Led by Jierui Zhao, a former PhD student @gmivienna.bsky.social & together w/ @moritznowack.bsky.social lab, we uncover how #autophagy shapes salt stress tolerance and lifespan. www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... A short 🧵👇

Registration for the International PhD School Plant Development 2026 is up and running, half the places have been already booked! So don't wait until the deadline to register raissiglab.org/plantdevosch... ! Cost: €350.- for conference, accommodation, meals, and a wine tasting in a local winery 🍷

Very interesting paper-- evolutionary redeployment of MUTE to generate unique CAM plant (Kalanchoë) stomatal complex. From Raissig Lab, Sci Adv 🌵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

In our new pre-print, we established massive single-cell RNA-sequencing for diatoms to investigate key cell fate transitions. Notably, we discovered that the diploid-to-haploid transition is regulated by Myb TFs, a process that is actively ongoing across the Global Ocean! 🌊

After a long journey, our new paper is out! 🌱 In this study, Tiina and colleagues show that cambium activation in the Arabidopsis root is triggered by the induction of auxin, cytokinin, and TDIF peptide signalling. 🧵1/x doi.org/10.1093/plce...

Registration for the 7th International Plant Protease Conference closes soon (Apr 1st)! If your research touches plant proteases (whether directly or just at the edges), don’t miss this meeting. We’re a small, supportive community and always happy to collaborate! www.plantprotease.org

Happy to share our latest work in collaboration with the lab of @pengbo10.bsky.social. Here, we describe that a formin protein mediates the polarity switch from root hair to infection thread growth during symbiotic interactions. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am happy to announce the launch of a new Arabidopsis genomics resource! Check out arabidopsislyrata.org Now you can easily look at the natural genetic variation across the entire species range of A. lyrata and A. arenosa.

A question of death ☠️ and life 🧬 Yesterday we hosted @moritznowack.bsky.social (from Ghent University and @viblifesciences.bsky.social), their research on root caps uncovers the gene regulatory and molecular mechanisms coordinating differentiation with developmentally programmed cell death.
