Time-series transcriptomics sheds light on the rapid and dynamic response of the moss Physcomitrium patens to salt stress
The moss Physcomitrium patens is a well-established model organism for studying plant responses to abiotic stress. As a non-vascular plant, it provide…

After a busy month, then a lovely morning for the bicycle ride.
Although the red pigments made by flowering plants and liverworts are produced by distinct chemical pathways, here we found that they are induced by homologous complexes of transcription factors. @currentbiology.bsky.social
Replicated repurposing of an ancestral transcriptional complex in land plants
Kongsted et al. find that, while the red pigments produced in liverworts and seed plants are distinct, they are regulated by homologous MYB-bHLH transcriptional complexes. They also find that in liver...

Found this yesterday. Those 18 years ago i paid 17k € for this, not very well covered #transcriptome. Yesterday our samples arrived with our collaborator, and for less than half the price we get a T2T #genome of the same #plant species. #Sequencing is no longer expensive. #plantscience

Please share! 🌱🤖 Permanent W2 Professorship in crop & plant sciences @ PhenoRob, University of Bonn. Especially encouraged: crop genome engineering, sustainable pest control, or sustainable disease control. Expertise in one area is enough. Apply by Sept. 30, 2026. www.uni-bonn.de/en/universit...
#moss meeting, small communication. @seemachaurasia.bsky.social Presented her work in a flash talk. Great job representing @lbvpam.bsky.social
#MolecularMossWorkshop2026 is in full swing. Not so many pictures since a lot of unpublished results is presented. But nice to see how #moss can be used from anything from cell division, cell wall, cell signalling and small molecule biosynthesis. Thanks to @moodytomato.bsky.social for hosting.
Tomorrow @moodytomato.bsky.social has invited a lot of #moss people to Oxford for a three day Molecular Moss Workshop. A very interesting meeting. Looking forward to see a lot of mossy friends.
The future is finally here. Thanks to all who helped with this.
🌱 A big step for plant breeding in Europe The EU has approved the #NGT Regulation — creating “clear conditions for applying modern breeding approaches”, says our CEO Felix Büchting. A step towards more resource‑efficient, sustainable agriculture 🌎 Our Press release: www.kws.com/corp/en/medi...
Today, the European Parliament voted in favour of new regulations for NGT-derived plants! 🌱💚🧬 This is a huge success, since these technologies can help accelerate plant breeding for increased stress resistance and contribute to more sustainable agriculture. www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...
