Altament recomanable!! 🤩🤩
Wow! Strongly recommendable🤩

Inducible RUBY expression in independent transformant lines of A.thaliana over 4 days.

Several lines (top) show induction everywhere except the petals... cool but I'd prefer the opposite!!

I just arrived home after #PlantBio2025 ❤️. Thanks to all unknown passengers that kindly help others to not miss their flights by letting them jump airport cue's after kind request. To those who don't, tomorrow could be you in that stressing situation. Be empathetic, be kind, it's very easy🙏😉

A great group of young scientists.

A whole bunch of Assistants Features Editors from @theplantcell.bsky.social and @plantphys.bsky.social getting to know each other 💚
#PlantBio2025

Happy to finally meet in person some AFEs of @plantphys.bsky.social and @theplantcell.bsky.social at #PlantBio2025 Thanks @aspbofficial.bsky.social for making it happen, for the nice t-shirt present, and to Mary @plantteaching.bsky.social and colleagues for helping us to improve our writing skills✍️❤️

Some representatives of the #PlantReproduction field at the amazing #PlantBiology2025 🌱! Time to catch up😉🌺
