Nice work from Bhalerao group @umeaplantsciencecentre.se showing how FT1 and GAs via GA20ox1 form a temperature‑processing system—responsive to both cold and warm spells—that controls plasmodesmata opening and the timing of bud dormancy release.https://rdcu.be/e2mgs

Comment in @nature.com: "Food will be more affordable — if we double funds for agriculture research now" www.nature.com/articles/d41...
A global drop in public and private investment in agricultural science in the past four decades is partly to blame for high food prices, an analysis reveals.
#PlantResearch Enjoyed writing with @beverleycubg.bsky.social a perspective about wonderful paper by Valencia-Montoya et al. in this week's Science. Cycads use thermal radiation to affect pollinators. Is this why Cycads are not as diverse as angiosperms? share.google/Xj8iH9E4tqvN...

🧪🌾NEWS - Nitrate affects wood development, not just growth
PhD student Anna Renström showed that nitrate specifically affects wood formation and wood properties - adding some of the missing pieces to a better understanding of how trees respond to nitrogen.🔬

☀️🍅 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🍅☀️
Heuvelink et al. examine how light intensity, photoperiod, spectrum, directionality and energy regulate whole-plant physiological processes including morphogenesis, source–sink interactions and assimilate partitioning.

Three people sit at the end of a pier and watch a northern lights display over a river.
Teaching at @icelabumu.bsky.social Camp (multidisciplinary research proposal workshop for early career researchers) last week. One night planned electrical work in the town of Granö afforded us rare dark skies. Here you see three students enjoying the light show. Amazing. #northernlights #photosky

Here is looking at trees🌳 and cultivation of local truffles #Tuber_aestivum on #Gotland recently! Truffle goes very well with oaks and hazel and these was part of research conducted by the expert and senior lecturer Dr. Christina Wedén, Uppsala Univ. (host of visit).
Thank you! ✨
