miR825‐5p‐regulated TNLs govern Arabidopsis resistance to Tetranychus urticae and Pieris brassicae MicroRNAs are essential regulators in plant resistance to biotic stresses, but their specific roles in the plant–herbivore context require deeper investigation. Here, we studied how the Arabidopsis .....

And now for something completely different!

Very proud to have contributed to this work on molecular plant-pest interaction led by Isabel Diaz Rodriguez at CBGP

Y si este era tu primer proyecto (track A), debes saber que este año fue más difícil que el anterior: tasa de éxito del 30%, frente al 37% del PID2023.

Join Andy on the road to unravel seed evolution using a cute fern (a seedless plant)! Deadline is tomorrow, hurry!

Nice round figures is all this is about, data is just a byproduct, right?
Hahaha, poor student! We both know more is not necessarily better, and less is many times enough...can be a tough realization. That piece felt a bit like patchwork of two different chapters that were regarded as 'not enough'.

Sounds like the best workshop ever, I'd love to witness it! Enjoy!

On the wrong use of ancient or early diverging for extant plants: are we still in 2010? what would @stuartmcdaniel.bsky.social think?

We (a large community of groups using Streptophyte algae) hope to unite and inspire others to join forces and learn from this amazing group of organisms!!!

Thanks Tamara! 😁

A roadmap to developing unified streptophyte algal model systems Carrillo-Carrasco and colleagues highlight the importance of the establishment of streptophyte algal model systems and the community efforts towards this goal.

We've tried to gather and unite the streptophyte algae community all around the world to join forces and develop tools and methods for these critters. Learn more about it on @currentbiology.bsky.social!
With @jandevries.bsky.social, @dolfweijers.bsky.social, and (many) others!

Growth arrest is a DNA damage protection strategy in Arabidopsis - Nature Communications This study demonstrates that growth arrest under stress in Arabidopsis protects meristem cells from DNA damage, challenging the idea that it is merely due to energy trade-offs and highlighting its rol...

Feeling incredibly proud of Antonio Serrano @ibmcp.bsky.social — thank you for bringing me on board! Growth arrest is a DNA damage protection strategy in Arabidopsis @jorgehg.bsky.social @dalabadi.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@maitesaura.bsky.social spotted! wish I could join.
Enjoy the conference and Ghent @ignaciorubiosomoza.bsky.social

I am honoured to have been awarded the Spanish Society of Plant Biology Premio Sabater for young researchers. Even more to share it with my colleague and friend @noelponte.bsky.social. This award-sharing has never happened before, making this (even) cooler. www.sebp.es/premio-sabat...

Sandy's talks are always a pleasure to attend, amazing science brilliantly disseminated. Looking forward to seeing you soon @sandyheth.bsky.social. Maybe in Vienna 😁

Next talk is by @jorgehg.bsky.social from @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social talking about the evolutionary origins of auxin induced transcription

Happy to share our recent publication on our favorite protein! Work led by the fantastic PhD student Yajiao Cheng @cragenomica.bsky.social. Thanks to co-authors and collaborators! @ibmcp.bsky.social

Has anyone tried/seen/failed using ATTO 643 for STORM? Probably does not switch, does it? Works great for STED though. #SMLM

Spread the word! We are looking for a lab technician to join our emerging group at @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social. Please check here: tinyurl.com/bdev9y6t. Essential to have a FP/technical degree diploma, regardless of having higher degrees.

Just out in Cell @cellpress.bsky.social. Amazing collaboration with @flowerwhatelse.bsky.social, Renaud Dumas, Matias Zurbriggen, Ken Birnbaum and François Roudier. And spearheaded by two amazing scientists: Raquel Martin-Arevalillo and Bruno Guillotin

Synthetic deconvolution of an auxin-dependent transcriptional code How developmental signals program gene expression in space and time is still poorly understood. Here, we addressed this question for the plant master …

In a few months @dolfweijers.bsky.social and team has provided an unbelievable amount of details on ARF/auxin evolution 😯

We should probably make a summary of all that!

We had a lot of dough in the oven for a long time, now it feels sort of empty. Hope I can keep a portion of it up.

Dolf is the fastest poster alive. Please go and check our latests from @poletc.bsky.social. It's been an intriguing and unexpected journey, but this opens the door for new questions in the evolution of signalling molecule response specificity. TL;DR: IAA response in our algae is 'not specific'!
