Wild rice is a perennial, creeping plant. The secret to its perennial growth habit lies in a developmental reversal directed by small RNAs. This image illustrates how combining perennial genes with prostrate growth genes allows cultivated rice to mimic wild rice. Learn more: https://scim.ag/40GOjDb

If you're following the #Coffee #PlantCellWalls work from the labs of @zhengli.bsky.social & @icesarino.bsky.social (see quoted), then here's their latest paper: 👉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... "Polysaccharides of coffee" #PlantScience

#PlantScience colleagues, please think twice before working with the new Springer Nature Discover branded journals. And then don't.

New from The Strain Team: 🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊 Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗). Gross! 😀 1/n #ResearchIntegrity #SciPub #AcademicSky

We have a PhD position available at the Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo to work on peptide signaling in plants and insects. Please share. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Never expected that this submission from LAST June is still under review after about seven months. This review time is already a personal record. Can anyone beat me?

The 2nd Decennial #PlantScience & Beyond Symposium will take place in at the @hhu.bsky.social Haus der Universität, this coming Monday (30th Sep) and Tuesday (1st Oct). Amazing line-up of speakers from #Academia #SciPub #SciComm #AppliedScience #BioTech - but always plant-related. 👍
