Hi all @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social members and other 🌽community folks, #MBP2026 🌱 is no open for registration. Please 🏄‍♀️ to: www.pflanzen-molekularbiologie.de/en/conferenc...

Our latest work is out! We set out to see if we could recreate soil-nurturing plant growth in vitro. The plants looked happy and we see microbiome-induced cell-type-specific responses! A modest step but a fun challenge 😁

Removal of Transgenes and Evaluation of Yield Penalties in Genome Edited Bacterial Blight Resistant Rice Varieties Bacterial blight (BB) of rice, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the major drivers of yield losses in Africa and Asia. Xoo secretes TAL-effectors (TALe) that induce host SWEET ....

New publication from Healthy Crops!
Our latest study in Plant Biotechnology Journal reports that our #genome-edited #rice varieties which are resistant to bacterial blight, are free of external DNA and show no yield penalties in multi-location field trials!

Next, Hannah Lepper from @franzificht.bsky.social lab in Düsseldorf is investigating the enigmatic role of trehalose 6-phosphate during land plant evolution #MAdLand2025

Congrats Franzi!

Coming out in @NaturePlants today (rdcu.be/eBScJ): The mechanism for essential amino acid transport across the chloroplast envelope. We identified RETICULATA1 (RE1) as a new type of transport protein. #PlantScience #AminoAcidTransport #Chloroplasts. @franzikuhnert.bsky.social @weberlab.bsky.social

Congrats Marcel!
