Hatem Rouached

Honored to be invited as a keynote speaker at the International Conference on Plant Physiology (ISPP), taking place 15–18 December 2025 at TNAU, Coimbatore.
Grateful for the opportunity to engage with the plant physiology community in India. isppsociety.in/about-icpp/

Looking forward to RBMP 2026 in Bilbao, where I’m honored to join as a keynote speaker.
A central meeting for plant molecular biology in Europe. Don’t miss it.

How plants decide when to flower: MSU scientists uncover a phosphorus-responsive switch A newly discovered signaling pathway explains how plants delay flowering when phosphorus runs low, opening doors to nutrient-efficient crops.

Phosphorus is essential for global food production, yet its supply is limited. PRI researchers have now uncovered a signaling pathway that explains how plants delay flowering when phosphorus runs low, opening doors to nutrient-efficient crops.

Thank you, Greg!

🚨 New in Developmental Cell @Dev_Cell
Our team uncovered how plants sense phosphorus deficiency and delay flowering — a molecular “switch” that links nutrient stress to development. A step toward breeding nutrient-smart crops! authors.elsevier.com/a/1m2id5Sx5g...
