Here it is! Epidermal cells in the root can figure out if they are covered by the root cap or not using mechanical signals! Thanks to @ckirchhelle.bsky.social, @moritznowack.bsky.social, @nathan-german.bsky.social Annamaria Kiss and all the others!

🌿Today we had the pleasure of hearing fascinating talks from the Plant Sciences community at @bristolbiosci.bsky.social – impressive research & great updates from across the labs! Ending the symposium on the roof terrace was perfect. Thanks to organisers @martinadeangelis.bsky.social & Tadd! 👏

1/4 Delighted to share our latest preprint "Future heatwave conditions inhibit CO2-induced stomatal closure in wheat". We found that high CO2, high VPD heatwave treatment prevents stomatal responses to light, super-elevated CO2 and nitrogen fertiliser application. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#CitizenScience embedded into Borderlands 3, a popular video game. Here, it was used to crowdsource the alignment of 1M 16S rRNA sequences from human microbiome studies. The resulting multiple sequence alignments are better than state-of-the-art computational methods. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Rowe lab is recruiting a #PlantScience PhD student for 2025! You'll use our new ABACUS FRET biosensors to map the dynamic leaf #AbscisicAcid accumulations at low humidity in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice. #PhDposition www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

A grey coloured Arabidopsis leaf epidermis, with black cell walls. Each cells has a colourful blobs - a nuclear localised fluorescent ABA sensor, with warm colours indicating high concentrations, and cooler colours indicating lower concentrations.
