🚨📢 Excited to share our back-to-back publications in @natcomms.nature.com! 🧬🌡️ In a fantastic collaboration between @casallab.bsky.social and @luciastrader.bsky.social, we’ve showed how plants "re-tune" the auxin pathway to regulate growth in response to warmth. 🌡️🌱 🧵 rdcu.be/fayYC, rdcu.be/fay0X
Huge congratulations, Heike, Michael et al. !!! Very pretty cover as well!! 🎉🤩
Our first Kalanchoë laxiflora story found its perfect home @Science Advances with a beautiful cover image of Kalanchoë thyrsiflora leaves. I am grateful that I can continue working with this incredible new model to learn more about succulent development 🤩

The authors of the two papers. Carlos O. Miller standing on the left, looking down upon a couple of glass beakers. Opposite him, from the back to the front, are Malcolm H. van Saltza, Francis Shigeo Okumura, Folke K. Skoog and Frank M. Strong. Below the photo are the headers of their two papers describing kinetin, the first cytokinin: “Kinetin, a cell division factor from desoxyribonucleic acid” by Carlos O. Miller, Folke K. Skoog, Malcolm H. van Saltza and Frank M. Strong, and “Structure and synthesis of kinetin” by Carlos O. Miller, Folke K. Skoog, Francis Shigeo Okumura, Malcolm H. van Saltza and Frank M. Strong. Both published in 1955 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

It's tomorrow! Don't miss out!
Calling all Master students! We have two PhD positions open, one in molecular plant science on robustness, and one in plant cell biology of light signaling. For more details see: www.cos.uni-heidelberg.de/en/light-sig...
Securing two group leader positions at the same institute is no small feat.
From IMP postdocs to group leaders: Laura Lorenzo-Orts and Ulrich Hohmann started their labs at IMB Mainz this year:
New #Sci #Job !
Together with six other PI’s we are looking for two PhD students and a Postdoc for our LEAP project, which is part of @greenrobust.de

I’m excited to announce that Dan (Danna) Zhang will present her paper on ER stress and Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) in thermomorphogenesis regulation in our next JC.
Our Review "Development, Anatomy and Integrated Function of Grass Leaf Veins and Graminoid Stomata" is out doi.org/10.1146/annu...
Alec Baird and I discuss the development and function of the anatomical structures that regulate water supply (leaf veins) and water demand (stomata) in the grass leaf.

15 PhD positions in Marie Curie Doctoral Network ‘AGILE’
Looking to work with and learn from world-leading experts in plant cell imaging? MSCA DN 'AGILE' has got 15 open PhD positions: www.msca-agile.eu
Please check out the website and apply there
Deadline: 15th of April, start date September 2026.
Four histograms with red, blue, pink, and yellow colors.
Poster of the anime "Bocchi the Rock", featuring 4 female characters with distinct color designs.
6 colors of the "bocchi" color scheme, with simulated deuteranopia on the bottom for comparison.
Re-upping this post: I took this color palette from an anime "Bocchi the Rock". The colors look nice, and the set is red/green colorblind friendly.

There is still much to learn about HASTY! 🌿
In our latest study in Plant Communications, we identify HASTY as a key regulator of systemic immunity in Arabidopsis.

aha! thanks for sharing that reference. I see it now, root/shoot partition is a lot more complex than I thought
Congratulations Tonni, Octavia et al ! I didn't realise that most GSL in the root actually comes from the shoot!
It's tomorrow!! Don't miss it!
It's next week!!
Don't miss out!!
Congratulations, Charlotte!!!
Proud, grateful & still in disbelief to share that I got a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoc Fellowship on my first try at @unibe.ch! Couldn’t have done it without @michaelraissig.bsky.social & @heikelindner.bsky.social support and trust 😚
