Breakthrough in crops! 🌱 🔥💥 Using prime editing, Xu Lab engineered heat-responsive genes to optimize source-sink relations in tomatoes & rice. Higher yields (+33% 🍅, +25% 🌾) & climate-smart crops for a warming world!#CROCS Cell Link: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

At 09.20 GMT this morning the northern hemisphere reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. From then on we will be heading towards spring, & southern hemisphere toward autumn. A spiritual moment our ancestors marked with midwinter festivals, & latterly colonised by consumerism

Ukraine today.

The journalistic lesson from Germany’s history? You don’t ‘expose’ enemies of democracy by giving them a platform. You only normalise them.

Happy to share the PhD work of Maolin who did a remarkable project tagging all the Arabidopsis HSFs and discovering their mode of activation by heat via prion-related domains. cell.com/molecular-plan…

Glad to share our latest work (preprint)! FaRIF at the Core of Strawberry Fruit Ripening: Deciphering its Targets and Interaction Networks biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Excellent work by Carmen Martin-Pizarro, applying ChIP-seq and TurboID to decipher FaRIF 's GRN and interactors in 🍓

I will be leading the session on biomolecular condensates that is open for all fields 🙌🌱🐭💁‍♀️not only for plant cells ☝️two days of fascinating LLPS! 😀 join us!!! Stress Granules The Plant Journal Molecular Plant & Plant Communications Abiotic stress in plants (Green Survivors) Nature Communications

Great article (in which I am quoted) about biomolecular condensates—in my field of cellular stress responses, “the revolution we have been waiting for.” Many thanks to author Philip Ball for going deep. scientificamerican.com/article/myster…

We are delighted to announce the publication of our manuscript " Temperature-driven changes in membrane fluidity differentially impact FILAMENTATION TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE H2-mediated photosystem II repair" as a Breakthrough Report in The Plant Cell.  academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

You can't understand the damage done to Europe/US relations without watching the German Foreign Minister's speech today, essentially saying that the US has fallen to Russia.

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Here’s a paper that was many years in the making. The idea that the climate can affect the thermodynamic mechanism of binding due to the temperature dependence of the entropy term is interesting- we see gradual shift in binding mode along evo trajectory

Take a look at our new pre-print: ELF3 controls trait heterogeneity in Arabidopsis and barley. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Our work is finally out in volume 246:4 of New Phytologist! We are honored to have our work published alongside other excellent papers in this issue. We are also especially happy to be able to contribute to the cover with the beautiful Andean-Patagonian forests. 🌳🗻
