Fascination of Plants celebration is here! 🌱 Check out all 8 posters of our exhibition through this website. fopd-utrecht.nl/en/exhibitio... 🌱 Can plant research also have other purposes? See what UU Plant researchers honestly think! #plantscience

New preprint! Text by Bram van Eijnatten: Happy to share a collaboration between @binfutrecht.bsky.social and the Plant Stress Resilience Group from @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social and the Quint lab. We present the Arabidopsis thaliana 'EcoCore panel': www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

In Utrecht we celebrate #FascinationOfPlantsDay for the entire month! Our fantastic 🌸Mariana Vega Blanes🌸 made an exhibition about various ways how plant research impacts society 🌽🌱🌾. We will conclude on June 12 with an event for the UU Botanic Gardens visitors. www.uu.nl/en/events/fa...

I am excited to announce that we have two open positions on our recently funded MYBstery M-WEAVE (NWO-DFG) project! 1) Postdoc in my team at Utrecht University (NL). www.uu.nl/en/organisat... 2) PhD in the team of @lauraragni.bsky.social at University of Freiburg (DE). (See thread)

How are we to argue with the likes of @PlantEvolution? 🌱 “Fantastic and important study” — we’ll happily take that 😊 The formatted PDF of our paper is now online! academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

#transgenerational transmission of a core #microbiome that protects against downy mildew from soil to #phyllosphere Fantastic and important study by @jellespooren.bsky.social @rlberendsen.bsky.social @cornepieterse.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc... #plantscience

@utrechtpmi.bsky.social VICI! The Plant-Microbe Interactions group will hug this guy to pieces! Roeland Berendsen received a prestigious VICI grant from NWO (Dutch Research Council). Congrats Roeland! Looking forward to some very nice #NPEC experiments! For more: lnkd.in/eyr9a-tP

The Jo Lab website is up! thejolab.org I expect to announce 1 PhD position and 1 Postdoc position in the spring of 2026 (April-May). Stay tuned!

Thanks for your hospitality @thomaswidiez.bsky.social Chatting with the excellent scientists at @rdplab.bsky.social was like a breath of fresh air!

Thomas WIDIEZ@thomaswidiez.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Great discussions today with @daanweits.bsky.social who visited our @rdplab.bsky.social in Lyon, France. Plenty of fresh ideas on plant oxygen sensing, the room definitely had good O₂ levels! 🌱🫧

What features are required to shape hypoxic niches enclosing meristems? We @viktoriiavoloboeva.bsky.social in collab @pieterverboven.bsky.social found that a combination of cuticle barrier, densely packed tissue and metabolic activity all uniquely contribute to maintain shoot apical meristem hypoxia

We reviewed one of our favorite proteins Phytoglobin1 and its crucial role in hypoxia acclimation and development for the @isplore.bsky.social special issue in @jxbotany.bsky.social @uuplants.bsky.social check it out!
