Very happy to see this review by @elizavveen.bsky.social, Jesse Küpers and myself now out in Plant Cell & Environment! About how stresses impact chloroplasts, and how this can steer plant development via retrograde signaling 🌱 @pph-wur.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pce.15664

Plastids in a Pinch: Coordinating Stress and Developmental Responses Through Retrograde Signalling

Plastids can sense environmental stress and improve whole plant adaptation through retrograde communication to the nucleus. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of integrated canonical and ...

Cytoplasmic Inheritance: The Transmission of Plastid and Mitochondrial Genomes Across Cells and Generations

Abstract. In photosynthetic organisms, genetic material is stored in the nucleus and the two cytoplasmic organelles: plastids and mitochondria. While both

Our research published in @newphyt.bsky.social titled "Unravelling the dynamics of seed‐stored mRNAs during seed priming" (nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....) explores how hydropriming affects mRNA dynamics, enhancing germination but reducing longevity. Thanks to all my co-authors!

Unravelling the dynamics of seed‐stored mRNAs during seed priming

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment that enables more efficient and uniform seed germination; however, it negatively affects seed longevity. In this work, the mRNA dynamics underlying a hydroprim...

How do potato cultivars cope with salt stress? With Rumyana Karlova (PPH-WUR) we are glad to share that our paper investigating potato plants' response to salt stress is out www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... ! with @pph-wur.bsky.social @christatesterink.bsky.social

Potato cultivars use distinct mechanisms for salt stress acclimation

Soil salinity induces osmotic stress and ion toxicity in plants, detrimentally affecting their growth. Potato (Solanum tuberosum) suffers yield reduct…

And.... the story is now out in PNAS, greatly improved with new data since the pre-print, so check it out and find out how ABA plays an unexpected role in root responses to salinity. @pph-wur.bsky.social @w-u-r.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This all started with a classic “hey, that’s funny” observation by Jasper early in his PhD, when he found that in response to salinity in Arabidopsis roots, a specific cluster of up-regulated genes showed an opposite response to Na+-containing salts compared to osmotic stress and …. ABA.

Very happy to be a part of this team work! We discovered an unexpected role for ABA in root responses to salt stress. @jasper-lamers.bsky.social @christatesterink.bsky.social @pph-wur.bsky.social @wurplant.bsky.social @epsgraduateschool.bsky.social
