The “Rolls Royce” of Tomatoes Is Coming to Australia
Purple Bliss tomatoes are purple – but they’re also remarkable for being the first genetically modified fresh food approved for sale in Australian grocers.

Epidermal hydrodynamics controls water homeostasis of shoot meristems for plant adaptation to terrestrial environments
Zhu et al. uncover an evolutionarily conserved water transport pathway in the epidermis of plant shoot meristems that maintains water homeostasis and regulates stem cell activity. This epidermal hydro...

🧪🌱 Interesting study using hypoxia-activated fluorescent probes to detect low oxygen in Arabidopsis cells & tissues. These chemical tools open new ways to study oxygen dynamics in plant development & stress responses. #PlantScience #Hypoxia #Arabidopsis nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Hypoxia‐activated fluorescent probes as markers of oxygen levels in plant cells and tissues
Low oxygen signalling in plants is important in development and stress responses. Measurement of oxygen levels in plant cells and tissues is hampered by a lack of chemical tools with which to reliab.....

New preprint! We present SSC, a semi-automated method to extract fungal hyphae and their microbiota from natural soils - no glass beads, no artificial conditions. Enables hyphal density quantification & NGS of surface-attached microbes. Read more: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Streamlining the isolation of fungal hyphae: A semi-automated approach for soil substrates
Extracting fungal hyphae with their natural associated microbiota from soil samples presents a significant challenge due to their small size, typically in the micrometer range, and the formation of dy...

Marie-Noëlle Rosso closing the session explored how fungi break down recalcitrant plant tissues, revealing a diverse enzymatic arsenal shaped by 180 million years of evolution. Her team showed that gene family expansions/contractions drive lignocellulose degradation across fungal clades. #ECFG17
good news: Trump has refrained from sending arms and ammunition to Russia for now. 👍🏻😂🥲🙏
Great talk by Aaron Vogan on Starship superfamily and it’s Captain!
At #ECFG17, like at all major scientific conferences worldwide, the talks highlight how science thrives on global collaboration. Borders don’t define discovery - diversity and cooperation do. Meanwhile, U.S. policies seem to be moving in the opposite direction.

Germany's debt brake ensures low national debt - but at the expense of the EU: low wages and export surpluses are driving neighbouring countries into debt. Time for more investment and higher wages to bring Europe back into economic balance. #Schuldenbremse #EU

1/The debt brake is slowing down university construction in 🇩🇪: renovation backlog, delayed new buildings and outdated infrastructure are jeopardising education and research. Without exemptions for investments, the science location 🇩🇪 loses competitiveness. #Schuldenbremse
