🌱 We were happy to sponsor the PEM2026 conference pem26.cnrs.fr held this week in Montpellier, with two TPJ editors @hatem-rouached.bsky.social & @msubrandizzilab.bsky.social on the organizing committee Samuel Laurent won the TPJ Prize for Best Talk by an early-career scientist. Congratulations! 🎉

▶️ Can metabolism directly control growth? We discovered that iron deficiency-induced coumarins directly modulate the master growth regulator TOR, uncovering a new mechanism linking nutrient-responsive metabolism to developmental growth. doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Excited to be a keynote speaker at the XVIII Meeting of Plant Molecular Biology (#RBMP2026), taking place July 1–3, 2026, in beautiful Bilbao, Spain! Looking forward to stimulating discussions, and to connecting with colleagues and friends in the plant science community.

Plant Nutrition takes center stage at #ICAR2026. Looking forward to engaging discussions, fresh insights, and innovative perspectives in today’s concurrent session.

➡️Plant flowering integrates environmental and nutrient cues, yet how mineral nutrients interface with core flowering pathways remains unclear. In this issue of @cp-devcell.bsky.social, Lyu et al. identify a N-responsive module to regulate flowering. Our preview: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mlLF5Sx5h...

➡️Plants don’t manage nutrients one at a time. Sulfur metabolism is tightly wired to nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron networks. Our new review explores the regulatory hubs (SLIM1, PHR1, NLP7, FIT) shaping this nutrient cross-talk in Arabidopsis. academic.oup.com/jxb/article/...

Phosphorus is essential for global food production, yet its supply is limited. PRI researchers have now uncovered a signaling pathway that explains how plants delay flowering when phosphorus runs low, opening doors to nutrient-efficient crops. @hatem-rouached.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social

How plants decide when to flower: MSU scientists uncover a phosphorus-responsive switch

A newly discovered signaling pathway explains how plants delay flowering when phosphorus runs low, opening doors to nutrient-efficient crops.

🚨 New in Developmental Cell @Dev_Cell Our team uncovered how plants sense phosphorus deficiency and delay flowering — a molecular “switch” that links nutrient stress to development. A step toward breeding nutrient-smart crops! authors.elsevier.com/a/1m2id5Sx5g... @MSU_PRI @MSUAgBio @MSU_PSM
