What a treat ! Wonderful to see our students and their community together, lots of new ideas, discussions and encouragement. Hope we can reiterate in 4 years! #TRR341

That’s a wrap on the Cologne Spring Meeting 2025! A huge thanks to all participants, speakers, and organizers for making this event a wonderful success. Stay tuned for more news and discoveries from TRR341 and the world of plant science. #CologneSpringMeeting2025 #PlantScience #TRR341 #DFG

Cologne Spring Meeting continues with “Resurrecting plants for climate change research” by Niek Scheepens from @unituebingen.bsky.social Innovating plant resurrection techniques to study climate adaptation. #ClimateChange #PlantResurrection #TRR341 #DFG

Cologne Spring Meeting continues: “Evolutionary genetics of mimicry, balanced polymorphisms and adaptive novelty in swallowtail butterflies” by Krushnamegh Kunte. Insights into genetic diversity and adaptation in butterflies. #Mimicry #EvolutionaryGenetics #TRR341 #DFG

Next session: “Evolutionary responses to historic drought across the range of scarlet monkeyflower” by @seemasheth.bsky.social Insight into plant adaptation under climate change. #Evolution #ClimateAdaptation #TRR341 #DFG

Excited to start the second day of the Cologne Spring Meeting 2025! Another day packed with insightful sessions, inspiring talks, and engaging discussions. Let’s continue exploring cutting-edge research together! #CologneSpringMeeting2025 #TRR341 #PlantEcology #DFG

Wrapping up today’s sessions with “The curious world of seaweeds and their viruses” by Susana Coelho from @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social revealing fascinating insights into marine biodiversity. #MarineBiology #SeaweedViruses #TRR341 #DFG

“Japanese Knotweed invasion genomics: what we know and future directions” by Christina Richards @drclrichards.bsky.social Insights into genomic strategies against invasive species. #InvasionGenomics #PlantInvasion #TRR341 #DFG

The #TRR341 meeting has kicked off! A very interesting talk from @evodaveo.bsky.social about GxE interactions and how to separate them from individual G and E effects using a gene network with cliques.

He also shared some important and inspiring believes that are now more relevant than ever! 👏

Continuing the symposium: “Using ABC approaches to compare dynamics of reproductive isolation among groups of organisms: comparing speed of speciation in plants vs animals” by Xavier Vekemans. A deep dive into reproductive isolation. #Speciation #EvolutionaryBiology #TRR341 #DFG

Cologne Spring Meeting continues with “When do genotype by environment interactions matter for evolution?” talk by David L. Des Marais, exploring genetic dynamics and environmental interactions. #Evolution #Genetics #DFG #TRR341

TRR341 is excited and ready to welcome all participants to the Cologne Spring Meeting 2025: Plant Ecological Genetics! Join us for insightful talks, engaging discussions, and valuable networking. Let’s explore plant evolution together! #TRR341 #EcologicalGenetics #CologneSpringMeeting2025
