And now for something completely different in co-translational targeting In two recent papers in Cell, Zhu et al. and Luo et al. use selective ribosome profiling to identify the substrates and timing of co-translational protein targeting to mitochondria. The results sugges...

And that’s a wrap on #ISPLORE2025JN 🇯🇵 🌱 🫧

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

It’s been a great opportunity for our lab to deliver four talks on different aspects of plant hypoxia and flooding research at #ISPLORE2025JN! Well done @linazhou.bsky.social @gunjansharma88.bsky.social & @drosborneplantsci.bsky.social for the great presentations! 🌱 💦 🌾 🦠 🌺 🫧 🇯🇵 #plantsci

Very nice - congratulations to you and all co-authors!

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.

We finish this #ISPLORE2025JP session with exceptional talks by @mikellavi.bsky.social, Daai Zhang, @vinayshukla.bsky.social and Lina Zhou 🌱🌊 Check out @beagiuntoli.bsky.social's recent preprint #plantscience

After the lunch break, the hypoxia signalling session continues with talks of @djgibbs.bsky.social and Peter Geigenberger, check out Dan's recent paper! #ISPLORE2025JP 🌱🌊

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

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

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

#ISPLORE2025JP is about to start in beautiful Nagoya! We're excited for a full week of low-oxygen and flooding #plantscience 🌱🌊

After a fantastic week exploring Tōkyō and Ōsaka, today it’s the Shinkansen 🚅 to Nagoya ahead of ISPLORE 2025 tomorrow 🌱 Looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues and hearing the latest in plant low oxygen and flooding research! #ISPLORE2025JP

See you soon - safe travels!

Congratulations Anne-Marie - best of luck as you settle into your new position!! 🌱

Wonderful to be back at Queen’s College in Oxford for the annual @gpsep.bsky.social network meeting! 🌱

Amazing to see so many plant science projects funded! (And special congrats to @vinayshukla.bsky.social and @tinaschreier.bsky.social !!) 🌱

🚨Job Alert!! Assistant professor vacancy ‘plant abiotic stress resilience’ in our group @uuplants.bsky.social Come for the science, stay for the amazing colleagues 😀More details here www.uu.nl/en/organisat... Please share!!

Congratulations Travis et al!

Nice one guys!!

I'm tired of people saying that they don't care that a photo or video is AI because it's "still cute." No, it isn't. None of it is. It's all soulless and takes away from the beauty and rarity of things in real life. 😩

Large group of diverse scientists and researchers gathered outside a modern building for a New Phytologist next generation scientists symposium.

Thank you to our brilliant delegates, mentors, speakers, the organising committee and our hosts at the University of Birmingham for making New Phytologist next generation scientists 2025 a great success!

The evolutionary rise of oxygen sensing in land plants Land plants evolved from aquatic green algal ancestors to dominate terrestrial ecosystems approximately 480 million years ago during the Ordovician period (Hammarlund et al., 2020). This major event i...

Our 'Spotlight' discussing an excellent recent paper by @lauradc.bsky.social @n-end-rules.bsky.social & @syno2xis.bsky.social et al on the evolution of oxygen signalling in land plants is now online at Molecular Plant.
