Reflections from a great Arabidopsis meeting #ICAR2025

Congratulations to @aroessling.bsky.social for her Prize-winning poster at #ICAR2025 🍾💐

Nasrin Sabooni Presents Poster at ICAR2025 in Ghent (Belgium) | Green cell wall dynamics lab Exploring evolutionary insights into transcription factors with potential for sustainable fibre production

Nasrin Sabooni presented her poster at #ICAR2025 in Ghent🇧🇪 on transcription factors shaping cell wall integrity in Arabidopsis & cotton🌿🧵
From evolution to stress & fibre development—she’s got it covered!

🎉 Huge congratulations to our own @aroessling.bsky.social for winning a poster prize at this year’s #ICAR2025 conference!
A great example of the strong early-career science coming from @cibss.bsky.social bsky.social and @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social @uni-freiburg.de

Thanks, Geraint, and to your amazing local hosts and organizing committee for an excellent #icar2025!

Late post, but had an amazing time at the #ICAR2025 🪴. Met some inspiring people, heard and learnt some exciting science :). Above all Ghent was lovely…

And last but not least at #ICAR2025, the Marc Van Montagu Prize for Sustainable Agricultural Systems ipbo.vib-ugent.be/en goes to Cecilia Adhiambo Shinda
from the lab of Steven Runo spas.ku.ac.ke/department-o... at Kenyatta University for her work on Striga resistance in Sorghum. Congratulations !!

#ICAR2025 Poster Prize winners are @aroessling.bsky.social from @elkebarbez.bsky.social lab @uni-freiburg.de, Wouter Smagge from @dejaegerlab.bsky.social @psb-vib.bsky.social @universiteitgent.bsky.social and Alexis Lebecq from @stanfordstomata.bsky.social @stanford.edu ! Congratulations!!

Amazing conference ! See you in the next #ICAR2025

#ICAR2025 meeting in Ghent 🌱

Fantastic venue filled with inspiring science!
I had the pleasure of helping in the organisation as well as presenting a poster and engaging in insightful discussions that sparked new ideas and valuable connections for the start of my postdoc.

An amazing #ICAR2025 ended - was so great to catch up with old friends and to find new ones! so many highlights! Great science, people and an awesome place 🤗 see you in Singapur #ICAR2026

All the good stuff comes to an end... It's time to head back to @rdplab.bsky.social after a fantastic week at #ICAR2025

And just like that #ICAR2025 is over! With our prize winners, a special appearance from the legendary Marc Van Montagu & a thank you to our hosts Tom Beeckman & @moritznowack.bsky.social, we can now hand over the baton to Singapore for #ICAR2026! See you all there for more excellent #plantscience!

Thanks to @theplantcell.bsky.social for being a primary sponsor of #ICAR2025

Great session with amazing talks! Using single-plant omics on naturally occurring (Wild) Arabidopsis populations is a powerful and underutilized approach for uncovering gene-phenotype relationships in an ecological context. #icar2025

In case you were wondering, it’s a great jar opener. #icar2025 #swag #notAmousepad

Tired but happy.

Thank you for all these interesting talks, inspiring conversations, delicious vegetarian food, best sunny weather, fun party, amazing people, and of course lots of plant science at #ICAR2025 in Gent.

Closing Keynote: Jiri Friml: Let’s talk about auxin signaling- what we know after all of these years (1972-now) and what we don’t, the canonical model is very good and has room for exploring roles in root growth and tropism
#icar2025

Closing Keynote of #ICAR2025 by Jiří Friml taking us on a journey through the saga of auxin signalling

Invited plenary speaker Anna Stepanova (NCSU) gives a great talk at #ICAR2025 on hormones, sensing and using complexed sensors in both Arabidopsis 🌱 and tomato 🍅

#ICAR2025 Plenary 6: Translational Research, last talk by Anna Stepanova, North Carolina State University, on synthetic ethylene promoter-reporter sensors in Arabidopsis and their application in crops

Plenary 6: Translational Research:Anna Stepanova: starting out with ❤️ for Arabidopsis as a model system. Using biosensors with different synthetic ethylene promoters (EBSnew is the 🌟) to monitor ethylene activity. Super cool technology!
#icar2025

Today at the #ICAR2025 my super talented student Gloria presented our work at @alaingoossenspsb.bsky.social lab on the phosphoregulation of JA signaling! Great work, Gloria! Congrats! 🥰🐣

Plenary 6: Translational Research:Julia Buitink: Digging into seed longevity - Learning from Threophrastus (~300 BCE) till 2025. The M. truncatula and A. thaliana systems are complimentary in understanding this process. 🌱
