Read here a review about how nutrients are distributed across the woody stem. Plant physiologists, ecologists, and wood scientists need to collaborate to understand if the investment in wood nutrients, or "is a relatively fixed trait, or conversely whether under global change

An international team of researchers sheds light on what is the role of stem cells in wood formation throughout the life span of a plant. Ari Pekka Mähönen 🇫🇮 🇺🇦 helsinki.fi/en/faculty-bio…

Researchers from University of Helsinki, Durham University, and Utrecht University have identified key factors that control stem cell balance in plants, crucial for wood formation and long-term growth. 🌲 Ari Pekka Mähönen 🇫🇮 🇺🇦 Institute of Biotechnology (BI) helsinki.fi/en/faculty-bio…

Congratulations to my OEB-ResPrg colleague Ari Pekka Mähönen 🇫🇮 🇺🇦 and their team - what a great coincidence to have our papers come out in the same issue of Science Magazine😀!

Check out this awesome new collaborative paper from members of our group ECPD Kirsten ten Tusscher with Ari Pekka Mähönen 🇫🇮 🇺🇦 and J. Peter Etchells leading to the Identification of cambium stem cell factors and their positioning mechanism. uu.nl/en/research/ex… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Let’s not go back to the time before vaccines.

After checking more thoroughly, what I wrote above is not entirely true (yet) for individual posts - but we are getting a huge number of notifications from new followers on BlueSky.

I’ve lost touch with many Twitter friends for a while, but today I found almost all of them on Bluesky! It’s like losing them on Earth and suddenly finding them all on Mars. 🌌 Join me there: cyi12.bsky.social!
