We're looking for a few more speakers for the Arabidopsis Bioinformatics session at #ICAR2026 in Singapore. #plantbiology Reach us either @bar-plantbio.bsky.social or us by DM. Deadline: April 30th!

It began with a single seed. A question, a trial, a discovery waiting to happen. In quiet labs and open fields, ideas grow into impact. Now it’s your turn, share your discovery with the #PlantResearch26 community.

Submit your abstract by 25 June: vibbio.tech/4dwdQ9O

Quercus pyrenaica, postfire resprouts from roots

In Quercus pyrenaica woodlands, when fire intensity is high, it often resprouts from the roots rather than from the trunk or root crown.

Organ‐specific terpenoid responses in Tanacetum vulgare are chemotype‐dependent Common tansy varieties defend differently: some boost root chemicals against soil pests, while others release stronger leaf scents against aphids.

This paper provides a phytochemical framework for understanding above- versus belowground herbivore interactions.
