The #flowerworkshop2024 is starting. Really excited to be here and to catch up with former colleagues, collaborators and friends. 🌷🌺🌾🌸🌼🪷Colombo Lab PlantDev UNIMI Ignacio Ezquer @CeciZumajo Gregis_Lab Marta A. Mendes🌱 bioseba 🌱


We are back to #flowerworkshop2024 with Barbara Ambrose (Barbara Ambrose) talking about evolution and development of sporangia. C. richardii is a fern used as model. RNASeq + Arabidopsis comparative genomics pointed usual candidates like SPL/NZZ. SPL is conserved in land plants.


Lisa Rotasperti from Masiero&Pesaresi Lab closes the session at #floweringworkshop2024 presenting a novel silique senescence regulator, GERAS. NAC100 gene regulates silique growth. Most NAC’s genes are involved in silique expansion except GERAS which is involved in silique senescence


Mauricio Di Marzo (Colombo Lab PlantDev UNIMI) presents the contribution of starch metabolism in sperm fertilization at #floweringworkshop2024. STK & ABS are expressed in maternal tissue during fertilization. Double mutant affect it with an important contribution of starch genes (eg, RE1).


Silvia Manrique (Silvia Manrique (@tank-silvia.bsky.social)) closes the session at #floweringworkshop2024 talking about andromonoecy (AMecy) in eggplants 🍆. Axillary eggplant flowers present functional AMecy. Heat stress also produces it. RNASeq experiment showed metabolism genes associated with HT & AMecy.


Natalia Pabón Mora (Natalia Pabon Mora 🇨🇴🌿🌷) justs blew our minds with an amazing presentation of the flowering biology of the holoparasitic plant Pilostyles, who “steals” a whole range of transcripts of flowering genes from its host plant 🤯 #flowerworkshop2024


Beautiful talk by Teng Zhang Teng Zhang | 张腾 🟦 about flower phyllotaxis. He ended by comparing the rhythm of primordia initiation with music. Very eloquent metaphor! 🌻🎼🌸🎵🍓#flowerworkshop2024



Lucia Colombo Colombo Lab PlantDev UNIMI shared with us the latest work of her group about regulatory pathways controlling megasporogenesis #ICSPR2024 🌼


The Institute of Molecular Biosciences at Goethe-Universität is looking for a ProfessorIn for the position of Molecular and Cell Biology of eukaryotic microorganisms #professor #academia



Thank you Manuela Rigano for the invitation to speak about Ovule Development in the Recrop CA 22157 Workshop and to chair the amazing session of the young researchers🔬great scientific discussions and new collaborations were born in Portici!
