The Rise of Polyploids During Environmental Catastrophes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🌱 Plants use little pores (stomata) to respond to environmental changes. Work by Ive De Smet and colleagues (@PSB_VIB UGent) reveals the mechanism regulating the stomata response to heat & drought, especially relevant in the context of climate change: vibbio.tech/49gIfEP

Polyploid fitness isn’t just about growing fast—it’s about outcompeting their progenitors! 🌱 We had neopolyploid duckweed and their progenitor invade each other, revealing how stress & frequency-dependent growth shape WGD success... or failure. #polyploid doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Europe made a colossal mistake: They banned genetically modified organisms (GMOs) while the rest of the world embraced them. Now we rely on imports, pay more for food, and miss out on sustainable agriculture. Here’s the story of Europe’s GMO debacle 🧵:

To address ag’s biggest challenges, plant breeding “has to be a science.” That’s our CSO Catherine Feuillet in Nature Biotechnology. Read more to learn how breakthrough tech makes this possible – and how Inari is at the center of this crucial progress: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Please share: We're hiring up to FIVE Postdocs or PhD students for a number of #plantsci #proteomics #genomics projects between my lab and that of Hervé Vanderschuren at KU Leuven & Université de Liège! Come join us in the land of 🍫 & 🍻 for some exciting science!

Take a look at our article "Comparative transcriptomics in ferns reveals key innovations and divergent evolution of the secondary cell walls" rdcu.be/eiV1x. We resolved the fern phylogeny and revealed unexpected features of fern cell walls.

Super cool to see our petiole cross sections from our fern story make it to the cover of Nature Plants . Cudos to our collaborator Richard Sibout and his team. nature.com/nplants/volume…

The May 2025 issue is now fully online, with a cover highlighting the cell wall of ferns, from: "Comparative transcriptomics in ferns reveals key innovations and divergent evolution of the secondary cell walls" rdcu.be/enhGp
