#CIBSS is happy to support our local #PlantScience community and to facilitate scientific exchange and networking.
Have a fantastic meeting full of meaningful interactions, exciting science and of course lots of fun together!
Spring is (almost) here, and #UniFreiburg labs are getting greener. Check out the greenlabshare.uni-freiburg.de for tips on how to make our labs more sustainable. #sustainability #greenlabs #CIBSS
📢 #CIBSS research highlight!
Prof. Dr. Thomas Ott @ottlab.bsky.social helped identify SYFO2, a protein that lets legumes 🫛☘️“open the door” to nitrogen-fixing bacteria. 🦠 The team even activated it in tomato 🍅 — suggesting this symbiosis could be engineered in new crops. 🌱

Dr. Daria @onichtchouk.bsky.social reveals how chromosome structure is organised at the very start of life. Using zebrafish, the team shows how DNA architecture forms as embryos activate their genomes.
