🚨 I'm happy to announce that Plant Reproduction (official journal of @iasprr.bsky.social) is running a special collection on Epigenetic dynamics & functions. We aim to gather a range of research on the diverse epigenetic mechanisms at play during plant reproduction.
Please share & submit your work!

Congratulations to our IASPRR member Professor Li-Jia Qu at @pku1898.bsky.social for being recently elected into the prestigious Chinese Academy of Science. 祝贺您🥂!

Altament recomanable!! 🤩🤩
Wow! Strongly recommendable🤩

Inducible RUBY expression in independent transformant lines of A.thaliana over 4 days.

Several lines (top) show induction everywhere except the petals... cool but I'd prefer the opposite!!

I just arrived home after #PlantBio2025 ❤️. Thanks to all unknown passengers that kindly help others to not miss their flights by letting them jump airport cue's after kind request. To those who don't, tomorrow could be you in that stressing situation. Be empathetic, be kind, it's very easy🙏😉

A great group of young scientists.

A whole bunch of Assistants Features Editors from @theplantcell.bsky.social and @plantphys.bsky.social getting to know each other 💚
