Happy to be at my first #ASPB meeting in Ottawa. If you’re interested in #evolution & phenolics in the closest algal relatives of land #plants, come to my poster #100-042 today from 5:30 pm to 6:15 pm and tomorrow (Monday) from 6:15 pm - 7:00 pm #PlantBio2026 #algae

The evolutionary origins of #streptophyte multicellularity #TansleyReview by Tatyana Darienko, et al. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @jandevries.bsky.social @caeciliafkunz.bsky.social Summary also available in German. #PlantScience

🌱 We are very thrilled to announce our Invited Speakers for this year's MAdLand Meeting. Join us in Göttingen, Germany, from September 29 to October 2, 2026, if you are interested in #plantsci & #evolution, and (re-)connect with an amazing scientific community. Register here: madland-meeting.de

Als die ersten Pflanzen ihren Lebensraum im Wasser verließen und an Land siedelten, waren sie völlig neuen Gefahren ausgesetzt. Besonders bedrohlich war UV-Strahlung. Wie haben sie das überlebt? Eine winzige Alge gibt darüber nun Aufschluss. Mehr erfahren: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html...

When a protist engulfed a cynaobacterium, Earth changed forever! @jandevries.bsky.social, @caeciliafkunz.bsky.social, @heche.bsky.social & colleagues review the origins and evolution of archaeoplastids, the lineage that arose from this event, including plants & co www.cell.com/current-biol...

Happy to be part of the special issue of @currentbiology.bsky.social on #plant #evolution with @jandevries.bsky.social @caeciliafkunz.bsky.social @heche.bsky.social! Check out our review on the evolution of Archaeplastida:

Phylogenomic frameworks from deep archaeplastid evolution to embryophyte diversification

Baştürk et al. review the major progress that has been made in our understanding of Archaeplastida, the primary plastid-bearing photosynthetic eukaryotes that include the land plants, highlighting lon...

Our latest issue just dropped! It's green & special! And super meaty, even though it is about #plants #evolution! 🌵🌿🫛🍃🌱 This is all you need to read this week! www.cell.com/issue/S0960-...

Very excited to be presenting at @official-smbe.bsky.social in Copenhagen. I'll be talking about evolutionarily conserved mechanisms in UV acclimation in the context of plant terrestrialization. Looking forward to connecting with other researchers interested in #evolution. #SMBE2026

Honoured to present my latest paper at the Mendel Early Career Symposium at the @gmivienna.bsky.social! It's been two days of engaging talks, posters and very diverse science. #PlantBiology #Mendel_ECR_26 #plantsci #algae #evolution #PlantTerrestrialization #transcriptomics #metabolomics

Day 1 of the Mendel Early Career Symposium! 100 international researchers gathered for networking, engaging talks & posters, keynote by @emmanuellebayer.bsky.social, & workshop on ChimeraX/AlphaFold. Thanks to the sponsors for supporting expanding horizons in #PlantBiology. #Mendel_ECR_26

Well done to everyone involved in this week's systems biology course; we cannot wait to see what you do with your new skills and the community you've created. Looking for your own systems bioinformatics training? Why not start with our free on-demand related training: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/on-...

www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... Thrilled to see the final chapter of my thesis now publish on Cell! It's been a long journey. @yvdp.bsky.social @almeidasilvaf.bsky.social @stevenmaere.bsky.social In this study, we try to tackle a "polyploid paradox".

The rise of polyploids during environmental upheaval

From the dating of 132 ancient whole-genome duplication events across 470 angiosperms, paleopolyploidization events cluster around pivotal periods of environmental upheaval and extinction, notably the...

Excited to present my poster today at @training.ebi.embl.org's course “Systems biology: from large datasets to biological insight”! I’ve learned a lot throughout the course — the trainers are excellent at making complex concepts approachable and combining them with hands-on training. #bioinformatics

Very happy to share our recent publication in @currentbiology.bsky.social, showcasing the cell systems response of a close relative of land plants to UV-B light by utilising a multi-omics approach. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @jandevries.bsky.social @watertoland.bsky.social
