What do u use to kill the agro? I use carb 500 mg/ul, or timetin 100, but when overgrown it's impossible to remove the agro.

Am I the only one who get confused when 'CK' is used for control, isnt that for Cytokinin? #plantscience

The postdoc position is open until filled, but I will start reviewing applicants this coming Monday. If you know someone who is looking, please share.

Awesome, congrats!!! 💮🌼🏵️🌸🌺

#Petunia!!

#Petunia in Amsterdam!

What if the pollination causes changes? There's many examples of changes in pollination syndromes pre and post pollination, in other species....

Fantastic News!! Stephan David successfully defended his PhD last week!! "The regulation of winter dormancy in strawberry". What a great honour to have been be part of this. Congratulations Dr. David!!! @hortproductphyswur.bsky.social #PlantScience #Strawberry #Horticulture

Oh thats cool. I was curious if this variation is observed in the same plants.. If you play with conditions, you can also change flower size. Stress leads to smaller corolla's for example (soon to be published).
Map the trait, what do you think??

Same plant, or neighbours?

Please share! I'm looking for a postdoc. The position is to lead one of the following projects: 1) regulation of plant specialized metabolism by cell fate, or 2) foliar embryogenesis in the succulent plant Kalanchoe.

🚨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!!

@nickdesnoyer.bsky.social thanks for the shirt. Now pos(t)ing with #Petunia

So I am absolutely going to host a Flower Design symposium in 2030. This is a formal call for designers. We have @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social with his beautiful Arabidopsis roses, and I'm likely giving my life to my Alice Petunia...but we need more people. Where you at?!

Friday Flower 001: Mimulus lewisii 🌸✨

Monkeyflowers are masterpieces of design with nectar-guide spots formed by an activator–inhibitor system of MYB transcription factors. These generate reaction–diffusion patterns across the ventral petal.

Fragaria ananassa DAM4 expression correlates with vegetative growth during semi-dormancy breaking - Planta Dormancy-Associated MADS-BOX (DAM)3 and DAM4 have been described as potential regulators of winter dormancy in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.). These genes are upregulated under shor...

Proud to share that Stephan David will defend his PhD on Friday the 29th! Also, his 1st paper was published in Planta! "Fragaria ananassa DAM4 expression correlates with vegetative growth during semi-dormancy breaking". @hortproductphyswur.bsky.social #plantscience doi.org/10.1007/s004...

Dynamic Application of High and Low Red:Blue Ratios During Lettuce Development Shifts Growth and Metabolite Allocation Plants respond to light spectrum in different ways. When using red:blue (R:B) lighting during cultivation, high R:B can increase plant growth and carbohydrates. Conversely, low R:B can increase phyto...

The third chapter of the PhD thesis of Dr. Jordan VB @dr-bluesky.bsky.social is out! We @hortproductphyswur.bsky.social show that dynamic light spectra at different dev stages determine trade-offs between growth & phytochemicals. doi.org/10.1111/ppl.... #PlantScience #Horticulture #VerticalFarming

I'm sure they'll get back to you soon, almost the end of vacation. The money is partly used for maintaining the collection, so you are contributing to a very important resource. 🌺🌸💮🏵️🌼

@nickdesnoyer.bsky.social are you thinking of other species? What about #Petunia?

@nickdesnoyer.bsky.social is doing some amazing work on flower design! Check it out!

Hurry¡ Before it runs out!!

Is that a time course? Looks fantastic! What a beautiful model. Is this your cv Alice? @petuniaplatform.bsky.social
