When AI meets hormones: opportunities and challenges of AI for advancements in plant hormone research and agriculture <p>Advancements in plant hormone research have significantly deepened our understanding of their roles in plant physiology. However, there are still knowledge gaps in the complex regulatory networks t...

🙌AI keeps pushing plant science forward, but what about the study of plant hormones? 🌱🤔 interested in some perspectives and ideas?

🎉It took me some days to process the news.. Super grateful to announce that I have been selected for a MSCA postdoc. This summer I start working on plant stress and the roles of organelles in UB in Barcelona with Sergi Munné-Bosch! Super excited! @ub.edu @ec.europa.eu

The heat shock factor HSFB1 coordinates plant growth and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis Plants have to execute strategies to adjust their growth when plants experience environmental stresses. Due to the antagonism, plants must finely balance their growth and environmental responses. Her....

The older the wiser, unless you are a banana: The NAP1-MADS1 network in the regulation of banana ripening If you are a banana bread lover, having overripe bananas is hardly a problem. However, for manufacturers, overripe bananas pose significant challenges in t

Happy (and a little sad) to share my last contribution as Assistant Feature Editor at @theplantcell.bsky.social @aspbofficial.bsky.social

In the original work, the authors describe the hierarchical molecular cascade involved in banana ripening 🍌🍌

💐Not all flowers are pleasant to the nose. The infamous titan arum heats up during flowering to produce a pungent blend of volatiles.
🧬What genes drive this process?

Check out this new study by the Schaller lab! Teaser by me in latest #PSRW !

It has been 5 years since I last crossed Arabidopsis. Honestly, even if it relaxes me the first few plants, I haven’t missed it all that much 😅

Excited to become a part of the Assistant Features Editor team next year!!

My second favorite mutation in A. thaliana goes to immutans 🌱

We’ve all seen variegation—the striking appearance of different colors in plant parts, often forming fascinating patterns. While several A. thaliana mutants show variegation, immutans is unique… 🧵

Tools to understand hypoxia responses in plant tissues Abstract. Our understanding of how low oxygen (O2) conditions arise in plant tissues and how they shape specific responses has seen major advancement in re

one of my labmates is a genius, behold her tiny arabidopsis farm made from a 96-well plate and pcr strip lids 🤩😆

A surprising discovery - a role for lineage in leaf development. Great work by @chiaraperico.bsky.social
