🌾From fate establishment, through within-file patterning to dumbbell formation🌾
Congrats to
@lbmountain.bsky.social
on getting two publications out in a single day - a first for the lab!

#ThrowbackThursday to last week Thursday at #ISPLORE2025JP where we took a group picture of our fantastic community. Missing those conferences vibes? Scroll back through the #ISPLORE2025JP hashtag for some of the best moments 🌱🌊

ERFVIIs as transducers of oxygen-sensing in the evolution of land plant response to hypoxia Short summary:This study investigates the evolution of the low-oxygen response in land plants mediated by group VII Ethylene Response Factors (ERFVIIs). We identified conserved transcriptional signatu...

How did oxygen-sensing evolve in plants?
In collaboration with @syno2xis.bsky.social Great work from @lauradc.bsky.social et. al. #plantscience @leverhulme.ac.uk

Happy to share that our multi-omic analysis comparing two Arabidopsis accessions is now published 🌿 The first story from our @ukri.org BBSRC sLoLa #plant #proteostasis project. A great collaboration between @rothamsted.bsky.social @richardmott.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk and Kathryn Lilley at Cambridge.

Join us at the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht to start your research group! Fantastic scientific environment, strong support, and nice colleagues :) Apply and please share broadly in your network.

Great to see the hard work of Dani Amat, Janne Hageman and @viktoriiavoloboeva.bsky.social is appreciated by the #ISPLORE2025JP community!

Incredible location ✅
Excellent science ✅
Amazing community ✅
Perfectly organised ✅

What more could we ask for!?

Safe travels to everyone!

Very grateful that my team was represented by three talks at #isplore2025jp and two posters 🇯🇵🌱🫚

Cool talks!

Excellent initiative!

Comprehensive physio-biochemical and transcriptomic characterization to decipher the network of key genes under waterlogging stress and its recuperation in Prunus persica Abstract. Waterlogging is a major abiotic stress that plants encounter as a result of climate change impacts. Peach is very sensitive to hypoxia during wat

The #ISPLORE2025JP poster session is in full swing 🌱🌊

We finish this #ISPLORE2025JP session with talks by PhD students Stephanie Frings, @rimchaudhury15.bsky.social and Gabriele Panicucci. 🌱🌊☔ Check out their recent review and preprint:

ERAD machinery controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES in plants Plant ERAD machinery governs the turnover of auxin transporters involved in developmental and stress responses.

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.

Very cool work from the @syno2xis.bsky.social lab by first author @ximenachirinos.bsky.social . Also very well presented at #ISPLORE2025JP!

The second day of #ISPLORE2025JP starts with a great overview talk by @theplantlab.bsky.social on hypoxia regulation. Hypoxia is everywhere! #plantscience 🌱🌊

We link the PCO N-degron pathway to acquisition of specialized cell fates and cell expansion, resulting in an altered leaf shape. A detailed RNAseq analysis led us to identify key genes downstream of the oxygen sensing pathway involved in the formation of specialized cells in leaves.

Coming to you live from #ISPLORE2025JP Fresh preprint from my lab showing that leaves progressively oxygenate and how this is important for their morphogenesis.Thanks to our collaborators from @Fra_LicO2si lab. #plantscience

Opening keynote lecture of #ISPLORE2025JP is by Genshiro Sunagawa about hibernation, the role of oxygen, and potential application in medicine. Very cool!

Here we go! My team is fully represented at #ISPLORE2025JP #plantsciences . Yesterday we had lovely ramen together with Livia Merendino :)

How did plants evolve how to sense oxygen? Recently unraveled in an extensive and elegant analysis by @lauradc.bsky.social @syno2xis.bsky.social ‪@n-end-rules.bsky.social‬ All land plant lineages induce glycolysis and fermentation, but the ERFVII evolved in vascular plants with roots #plantscience
