Today’s @cosheidelberg.bsky.social seminar is on 🍃 given by @hildenelissen.bsky.social from @psb-vib.bsky.social Really cool work all the way from mechanistic science to translation!!!

Thanks, @hildenelissen.bsky.social. Was great to have you at COS. A day of good discussions and a stimulating seminar.

Congrats! Beautiful as usual.

New preprint!
SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations —reshaping how we think about axis formation.

We’ve built this virtual plant scientist PlantScience.ai to grow alongside human researchers🌿. It thinks like an expert, cites like a scholar, and never stops learning. Come and have a chat with it! @yiliangding.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social

Congratulations and chapeau! This is so good to see.

A graph showing violin plots. On the y axis is the perceived morality of people from 0 to 8. On the x axis the time points 40 years before my birth, 20 years before my birth, at my birth, 20 years past my birth, today. The morality value is constant until birth, and then declines.

People: "Things used to be better."

Scientist: "When did it start getting worse?"

People: "When I was born."

From "The illusion of moral decline" by Adam Mastroianni.

How meristems shape plant architecture in cereals—Cereal Stem Cell Systems (CSCS) Consortium (Thomas Dresselhaus , Martina Balboni , Lea Berg , Anika Dolata , Frank Hochholdinger , et al) doi.org/10.1093/plce... #PlantScience

Chapeau! This is simply beautiful.

Plants monitor the integrity of their barrier by sensing gas diffusion - Nature A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and pathogen entry.

How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. @treebiocoe.bsky.social‬ @erc.europa.eu‬ 1/x 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Scheme of meristem development in maize embryos, highlighting the expression domains of key regulatory genes.

The Cereal Stem Cell Systems Consortium published a comprehensive review in Plant Cell on how meristems shape cereal architecture.
If you are not a fan of cereals except for breakfast, your teaching will still benefit from the amazing figures!

Starting the scientific program of #ICAR2025 with an amazing keynote by Jane Parker @parkergroup.bsky.social on the structural basis of plant immunity! Looking forward to 5 days of fantastic Arabidopsis and plant science at the #Bijlokesite in Ghent!

Vascular Development meeting

Kick off Vascular Development satellite meeting by @bertderybel.bsky.social. #icar2025

Warming up to #ICAR2025 🌱with two days of cool vascular science at our Vascular Development satellite meeting at @psb-vib.bsky.social.

The GreenRobust cluster of Excellence is now live on Bluesky @greenrobust.de
Follow to be informed of the great things coming up 🌱

Really, you better make sure that this ends smoothly!

Thanks! A good day for plant sciences.

Congratulations!

Since today, the GreenRobust Cluster of excellence is indeed alive: greenrobust.de! Pure joy in light of this team achievement!

Wonderful collaboration with the Wolf, Greb and Prevedel labs!

Thus, collectively, we think that the SL signaling pathway is one tool by which plants can modulate their water transport capacity to withstand water deficiency conditions.

Lastly, we saw that drought-induced reduction of vessel element size is hardly happening in SL signaling-deficient mutants and that, thus, drought-induced adjustments of vessel elements is SL-dependent.
