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😉🌺

Brassinosteroids promote pollen tube guidance by coordinating gene expression in male and female reproductive tissues Brassinosteroids (BRs) were originally isolated from pollen grains, but their role in plant reproduction remains a mystery. Matsuura-Tokita et al. show that biologically active BRs are detected in rep...

The beauty of Arabidopsis lies in the depth of knowledge we’ve gained from it- a collective achievement of thousands of scientists 🔬

These flowers showcase that knowledge and the power of biotechnology 💚

Yeah, EC1 is rather strong. What about a promoter in the male side? E.g. GEX2 promoter? You can also have a look to our evorepro database to check expression level and specificity of genes in several tissues and species evorepro.sbs.ntu.edu.sg
Hope it helps!👍

Many thanks, Mary!

I'm really happy and thankful for being selected as Plant Physiology Assistant Features Editor. Very excited to join the team and make the most of this great editorial experience. Let's go!🌱

Happy Friday everyone!

Introducing Arabidopsis monstrosa 🧙‍♂️

While not conventionally beautiful, she brings to life the imaginative possibilities of engineered flowers✨

Petal size and shape is generally determined by a period of cell proliferation followed by cell growth. Extending the period of proliferation results in much larger petals without compromising shape.

The robustness of plant development is admirable.
