Plants can measure both substrate volume and root density using mobile signals allowing them to modify their shoot growth and avoid resource limitations later in life by Dr Cara Wheeldon et al. @ScienceLeeds doi.org/10.1111/pce.13…

Our latest work is out in Science Magazine now! Plants roots sense soil compaction through restricted ethylene diffusion. Congrats to Bipin Pandey et al, and for the beautiful video by Hounsfield Facility @stu_rock @PlantSciNottm Faculty of Science, Utrecht University .

We have three postdoc positions available on crop genomics and breeding in AGIS at Shenzhen. The positions offer a competitive package (~$ 50K after tax with other benefits). Send an email with your CV attached to [email protected] if interested. EvolDir PlantPostdocs (@plantpostdocs.bsky.social)

Amazing!

Very best wishes to all members of the plant science community who celebrate the lunar new year! We hope you happiness, success, and "accepted with minor revision" in the coming year.

Happy to share our work on cell wall modification by salt to alter root growth !

Our paper is out today in Science Magazine! We created huge collection of tools for constructing/tuning synthetic genetic circuits in plants and used them to engineer root structure 🌱 So excited for the future of #plantsynbio! 🌱💻 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

15 important unknowns The Plant Cell ! Story compiled and led by Paul Verslues with contributions by many of us interested in understanding plant responses to abiotic stress. @JoseDinneny julia serres Phil @wigge.bsky.social Lucio Conti Hilde Nelissen Scott Hayes and many more

If you want to know how the roots of halophytes deal with saline environment, please check it out in our new preprint!

This is still so sad to hear though I have heard many similar experiences. What can we do to change this as a student or postdoc ? Nothing, we are not in a powerful position.

Just one more day to go until we reveal the biggest questions about plants across the globe. How has the landscape evolved over the past decade? Find out tomorrow in New Phytologist

very happy about this fruitful collaboration about roots of halophytes!!
