The group photo of the 2nd Decennial Plant Science & Beyond Symposium. WebEx speakers have been added in cropped frames. The in-person attendees are in front of the screen, showing the Meeting Title and Date, "The 2nd Decennial Plant Science & Beyond Symposium - Haus der Universität Düsseldorf - September 30th & October 1st, 2024."

It has been a great #PSBS24. I planned to post a bit during the Symposium - but it's been too interesting and busy to spend time on the phone!

Fantastic talks from many #PlantScience -related fields 👍👌

Thanks to all attendees and supporters; @hhu.bsky.social, @ceplas.bsky.social, and the RSF. 🙏

Did plants repurpose parts of the nuclear pore as size exclusion barriers at #Plasmodesmata?

I have updated the #PlantScience #StarterPack. You can now include 150 accounts, instead of the initial 50.
I have tried to focus on active accounts.

The latest pre-print from the lab is out! This was an epic effort over many years to make, verify, and experiment with lines in which we can close plasmodesmata outside of a physiological context. Turns out, plasmodesmal closure triggers a range of stress responses! #PlantScience #Plasmodesmata

Vittoria Brambilla and three of her colleagues from her and Fabio Fornara's labs at the University of Milano are standing in a agricultural field, holding trays with rice seedlings in their hands. They are ready to plant the rice seedlings into the prepared soil. Image from Fabio Fornara: https://twitter.com/fornaralab/status/1790034062121271655

The first gene-edited #rice 🌾 plants are currently being planted in Italy. These plants are edited to be more resistant against the #RiceBlast fungus #Pyricularia oryzae.

Fantastic effort by @vittoriab.bsky.social, Fabio Fornara and their colleagues!
