Shoutout to yesterdayβs guest @eswallner.bsky.social, who visited us from @gmivienna.bsky.social for her talk βLessons from sporeling development: How to form plant organs and meristems de novo?β - fascinating perspective on plant development!π±

Duckweeds are an important plant research model but have been challenging to modify genetically. A study published in @newphyt.bsky.social by the MarΓ-OrdΓ³Γ±ez group at the GMI, presents a new and highly reproducible method for genetic transformation in the duckweed species Spirodela polyrhiza.

Preprint alert! It is my great pleasure to announce the first manuscript from the lab, a story that started @gmivienna.bsky.social and was mainly accomplished by the intrepid @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. A brief thread with our findings

We are looking far and wide for this position! So if you are motivated, interested in academia, and want to explore the world of plant-virus interaction, we are ALSO happy to host you for a PhD! More detail belowπ½βοΈπ¦

Think vacuoles are just plant cell dumpsters? Think again.
They sense. They signal. They reshape. They fight back! βοΈ
Vacuoles are emerging as central hubs for plant resilience and adaptation. π±

Drosophila follicle showing retrotransposons (pink & yellow) expressed in somatic cells infecting the oocyte
1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. π§¬
But did you know they can also jump π£π¦π΅πΈπ¦π¦π― cells? π€―
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.
