INTERVIEW - Light drives photosynthesis, but an excess can harm plants. Sanchali Nanda used a novel instrument that monitors the stress levels of plants to gain new insights on their energy dissipation mechanisms. Read more in this interview with her: upsc.se/about-upsc/new…

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.” Just published a new article inspiring kids to explore the wonders of science. Saumitra Dey Choudhury, PhD, DBA Maneesh Lingwan, PhD. kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #scienceoutreach #kidsinSTEM

(1/5) Thanks for sharing this article, Deepak. It's must read, in my opinion. Some key parts from this article as a thread 🧵 rdcu.be/ee4X5

Very happy to see our latest paper by Rory Osborne et al out today in Developmental Cell. In this work we identify a role for VRN2-PRC2 in regulating light-responsive growth in Arabidopsis through the conditional epigenetic repression of PIF signalling. cell.com/developmental-…

The iPAL team at CSIR-IHBT bids a heartfelt farewell to Aparna Sreepraksh, our brilliant trainee from Kerala. She worked on plant heat stress responses with PhD scholar Vidhi Raturi. Now off to Europe as a Marie Curie PhD fellow to study HeatDDR in plants! #ProudMentor #Farewell

I'm excited to share our newly published article, and my first co-author paper in the PNAS! TCP3 is a substrate of the COP1/SPA ubiquitin ligase to regulate anthocyanin accumulation and flowering time in Arabidopsis 🌿 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Congratulations to all the authors!

🍀🎉😊❤️🙏 I am so grateful and proud to be working with Catherine, Joanna, Adrienne and Nan to create the Arabidopsis timeline! Such a landmark project, published The Plant Cell & initiated by NAASC NAASC & North American ICAR

Excited to share the latest study in New Phytologist, exploring how a B-box factor integrates light and ethylene signaling to optimize seedling soil emergence. Kudos to Nevedha Ravindran, Kavuri Venkateswara Rao, and souravdatta for the efforts! Thanks IISER Bhopal Dept of Biological Sciences (DBS), IISER Bhopal nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Heartfelt thanks to Prof. Sourav Datta (souravdatta) for the invaluable support and guidance. Big shoutout to Venky (Kavuri Venkateswara Rao) for co-authoring the paper! Grateful to PCDB Lab (PCDB Lab IISERB) for their support. Thanks also to IISER Bhopal & Dept of Biological Sciences (DBS), IISER Bhopal!

Out now in Nature Plants! Our study reveals: Water availability positions auxin response maxima to determine plant regeneration fates. 💧 High water → roots, low water → callus. Stress hormones fine-tune the switch. nature.com/articles/s4147…

Plants grow strong under pressure 🌱💪 Weight-induced stress causes wider stems+more vascular bundles. The response is driven by BRs & strigolactones via key signaling genes, boosting seed yield 📖doi.org/10.1111/tpj.70… Lorena Raminger julietacabello IAL-Comunica pilarcubas
