The group photo of the 2nd Decennial Plant Science & Beyond Symposium. WebEx speakers have been added in cropped frames. The in-person attendees are in front of the screen, showing the Meeting Title and Date, "The 2nd Decennial Plant Science & Beyond Symposium - Haus der Universität Düsseldorf - September 30th & October 1st, 2024."

It has been a great #PSBS24. I planned to post a bit during the Symposium - but it's been too interesting and busy to spend time on the phone!

Fantastic talks from many #PlantScience -related fields 👍👌

Thanks to all attendees and supporters; @hhu.bsky.social, @ceplas.bsky.social, and the RSF. 🙏

Did plants repurpose parts of the nuclear pore as size exclusion barriers at #Plasmodesmata?

I have updated the #PlantScience #StarterPack. You can now include 150 accounts, instead of the initial 50.
I have tried to focus on active accounts.

On September 30th and October 1st we'll have an amazing group of plant scientists and academics from adjacent fields in Düsseldorf at the Haus der Universität @hhu.bsky.social.

#PSBS24

The latest pre-print from the lab is out! This was an epic effort over many years to make, verify, and experiment with lines in which we can close plasmodesmata outside of a physiological context. Turns out, plasmodesmal closure triggers a range of stress responses! #PlantScience #Plasmodesmata

Vittoria Brambilla and three of her colleagues from her and Fabio Fornara's labs at the University of Milano are standing in a agricultural field, holding trays with rice seedlings in their hands. They are ready to plant the rice seedlings into the prepared soil. Image from Fabio Fornara: https://twitter.com/fornaralab/status/1790034062121271655

The first gene-edited #rice 🌾 plants are currently being planted in Italy. These plants are edited to be more resistant against the #RiceBlast fungus #Pyricularia oryzae.

Fantastic effort by @vittoriab.bsky.social, Fabio Fornara and their colleagues!
