I have no words, best poster @adithya1972.bsky.social 🥇and best talk @aciattoni.bsky.social 🥇on #ICPP2026 I am incredibly proud of you guys! Thanks to the organizers for this recognition and for putting together a wonderful meeting. @simonstael.bsky.social @ipbhalle.bsky.social #SNP2Prot

Our own @aciattoni.bsky.social takes the floor and shows our progress on understanding the biochemistry of SAP1-MucD interaction. #ICPP2026 #SNP2Prot @ipbhalle.bsky.social #ProudSupervisor

A photo recap of State Secretary Thomas Wünsch’s visit to the IPB. A tour of our latest projects. There was plenty to discover. See more photos here: www.ipb-halle.de/en/public-re...

Wir durften @mwulsa.bsky.social Staatssekretär Wünsch bei uns begrüßen.Nach dem Auftakt durch @atissier.bsky.social ging es zur Forschung:von Massenspektrometrie bis Tomaten. Unser Ziel: verstehen, wie Pflanzen funktionieren und daraus Ideen für die #Bioökonomie entwickeln.Danke für den Austausch!

Less Fertilizer Through Smart Alliances Working with researchers from the University of Bonn, we have discovered a molecular switch that signals for or against the maintenance of a mycorrhizal symbiosis. A study in Science Advances. More info here: www.ipb-halle.de/en/public-re...

Knowing smirks & plenty of “oh, I so feel that” while reading The Unwritten CV of a Plant Scientist by Kolesnikova & Wood. Very well put, @plantaeofficial.bsky.social!😄👏 Recommended read - plant researchers, take some lighthearted inspo to value your real skills.💪💚 #plantsci #Pflanzenforschung

#JustIn on Plantae: The Unwritten CV of a Plant Scientist. In this new piece, ASPB Plantae Fellows Anastasia Kolesnikova and Charlay Wood offer a more human picture of plant science than most people ever get to see in a plant scientist's CV. buff.ly/tOdWD3v #PlantScience

Plant immune receptors are in the spotlight! 🌱🔬 We warmly invite submissions on immune receptor research for the upcoming MPMI Focus Issue dedicated to this exciting and rapidly advancing field. Find out more here: apsjournals.apsnet.org/mpmireceptors

There are only 3 days left to nominate promising early career researchers (#ECRs) for one of our three science awards to boost their careers. Deadline for all 3 awards is already on 26th April 2026! 🧵 1/4

And that's a wrap at the 2026 Leibniz Plant Biochemistry Symposium #IPB2026!💚 Thanks to all the speakers & participants for great presentations & lively discussions.👏🏻 Safe travels home to all & pls spread the word that #Halle is a great place for science & living!🗣️ #PlantSci #ECR #HalleSaale

This year’s IPB symposium was all about science, right? Well - almost😉! It was also about Steffen Abel’s farewell. Though he didn’t want any accolades, his department followed his saying to sometimes ignore your superior’s advice & honored his contributions to science, the IPB, & career support.🥂

Finally, @dolfweijers.bsky.social & again it's about #auxin that controls almost everything. Dolf speaks about its evolution - from the birth of auxin response in land plants, to the origin & diversification of the 1st ARFs, to them acquiring activator capability as their most recent innovation.

We may disagree with Darcy McRose on whether plants or microbes rule the world 😉💚. But thanks for taking us into the world of redox-active metabolites (RAMs) in the rhizosphere. Fascinating results about microbes countering the plant RAMs, coumarins, with specific efflux pumps. #IPB2026

If you pay attention, you will most likely find a #protease story in each conference 🙃. This time Pierre Stallforth mentions their recently described and intriguing “Lips” At the IPB Symposium. Have a look to their paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Pierre Stallforth just mesmerized the #IPB2026 audience with a clip of an army of amoeba decimating a bacterial film. What #NaturalProducts do bacteria produce against such a raid? Interesting discoveries of amoebicidal compounds. Also great insights into natural products from the past #paleobiotech

#IPB2026 Love Jiří’s talk so very much😆. The optogenetic approach applied to auxin signalling from a different angle was really inspiring. More ideas coming on how to perturb auxin 💪.

@carogutj.bsky.social is our second speaker this morning. She gives an update on her work on the “most important organismic interaction” there is 😅🌱🍄‍🟫

Now, @carogutj.bsky.social is presenting her work on arbuscular #mycorrhiza in connection to phosphate starvation response, transcriptional regulation of arbuscule development, and fungal sRNAs acting on plants. 🌱🅿️🧬 #IPB2026

Brilliant start on the second day of the Plant Biochemistry Symposium 2026. Jiri Friml guides us through the journey on understanding how auxin signalling pathways work

Symposium day 2 #IPB2026 has begun and @frimllab.bsky.social is telling us the journey of researching canonical vs. non-canonical #auxin signalling, which led to revising the canonical mechanism - cAMP production is required for transcriptional activation. Also, lots of cool tools & techniques.🔬
