I've got something to "TORC" about! 😅 After 4 years building this project at @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social, I'm so excited to share that my first independent preprint is now online! ✨ I hope you like it: doi.org/10.64898/202... A short thread... 🧵 #PlantSci #PlantScience

The TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR) kinase controls shade-mediated hypocotyl elongation responses in Arabidopsis.

Plants perceive neighboring vegetation through an enrichment of far-red light (shade) in the environment. These changes in light quality trigger molecular and physiological responses aimed at outgrowi...

🚨📢 Excited to share our back-to-back publications in @natcomms.nature.com! 🧬🌡️ In a fantastic collaboration between @casallab.bsky.social and @luciastrader.bsky.social, we’ve showed how plants "re-tune" the auxin pathway to regulate growth in response to warmth. 🌡️🌱 🧵 rdcu.be/fayYC, rdcu.be/fay0X

Thermosensory reconfiguration of the auxin transcriptional pathway to drive root cell growth

Nature Communications - While auxin typically inhibits root cell growth, elevated temperatures reconfigure the auxin transcriptional pathway to promote elongation. This study reveals how plants...

“Laboratory Rotations”: the new teaching unit in the Research track of the M2 in Plant Sciences at Paris-Saclay, https://www.master-sciences-du-vegetal.fr/eng/news/lab-rotations-master-in-plant-sciences

“Laboratory Rotations”: the new teaching unit in the Research track of the M2 in Plant Sciences at Paris-Saclay

Starting next academic year, the M2 in Plant Sciences @Paris-Saclay, will introduce a new, innovative teaching unit for its Research track: the “Laboratory Rotations”.   This teaching unit includes two two-week internships conducted within research teams, including those of the SPS network. These internships allow students to become familiar with the design and execution of experiments, refine their technical skills, discover new research topics, and expand their scientific network. The “Laboratory rotations” embody the “training in and through research” approach, an innovative pedagogical method that teachers are gradually integrating into all SPS master’s programs, and which SPS strongly supports.   This teaching unit has already proven successful in another SPS master’s program, the international M1 in Plant and Microbial Molecular Biology (PMB), established in 2023. This master, which has served as an excellent testing ground for pedagogical innovation, will merge with the M1 in Plant Sciences from the 2026-2027 academic year.   We  interviewed Hoc Nguyen and Jacob Van Buskirk, international students in the M1 PMB program, who recently completed their lab rotations: Hoc Nguyen “The lab rotations were fun, exciting, and intellectually satisfying, playing an important role in my academic development by allowing me to observe how scientists think, solve problems, and conduct independent research. I had the chance to meet many kind and interesting people while experiencing different working environments, which increased my exposure to diverse teams and created opportunities for networking and potential future positions. What I enjoyed most was analyzing results and interpret them. I find the process of making sense of the data both rewarding and stimulating. The most exciting part was discussing these interpretations with my supervisors, as their perspectives often revealed blind spots or flaws in my reasoning, helping me sharpen my critical thinking skills.” Jacob Van Buskirk “The lab rotations offered me an enriching introduction to the research environment, particularly suiting my hands-on learning style. My rotation at IPS2, focused on dry lab work, was extraordinarily helpful; I gained invaluable skills by processing the full pipeline of ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and Hi-C data, a resource I will rely on well into the future. Equally impactful was my time at IJPB, where I made strong connections and felt deeply involved with the institution. Receiving such guidance from both teams was illuminating, reminding me why I chose this career path.” See also Master in Plant Sciences Program of the M2 in Plant Sciences - Research track Teaching Unit « Laboratory rotations »  International M1 Plant and Microbial Molecular Biology (PMB)  Research in SPS Research teams in the SPS perimeter

Avoiding the shadow: how plants perceive neighbors and reshape the crop light environment

Abstract. Plants in typical agricultural stands inevitably experience mutual shading. As the canopy develops, neighbor cues progressively reduce the activi

Our work now on its final version. We mapped the mechanical properties of roots at tissue and single cell levels using Brillouin microscopy and molecular rotors. Additional mutants and stress measurements from what we previously showed in the preprint are included. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The mechanical properties of Arabidopsis thaliana roots adapt dynamically during development and to stress

Brillouin microscopy reveals in vivo dynamics of mechanical properties during plant development and response to stress.

This is unfortumately very true! I know too many stories, too and have not done enough. A toxic environment burns creativity, passion and enthusiasm and we damage and loose talented minds. I share your anger Katharine (at the system and myself) We all need to do better!
