@TonniGrube Congratulations Tonni! Well deserved ✨✨✨

Six years ago, I started at the MPIPZ with a head full of ideas. What a journey. I’m thrilled to share that, from Jan 2026, I will be moving to Zurich as a chaired associate professor at the University of Zurich. A new chapter, and plenty of roots still to grow. Can’t wait!

Want to know more about the important YUCCA family has diversified in plants? We introduce a new classification system in our recent study, now available on bioRxiv 🌱

Our latest work on is up on bioRxiv. Read for insights into how barley metabolites respond to biotic stress. We show serotonin and novel 2-oxo-tryptamine are produced and speculated on what they do 🌱

@LabMutwil @NaturePlants 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏻

Super cool to see our petiole cross sections from our fern story make it to the cover of @NaturePlants . Cudos to our collaborator Richard Sibout and his team. nature.com/nplants/volume…

@RosGleadow Congratulations Ros! 🥳🤩

So this happened today 😌

Big news! After 7 fantastic years at SBS @ntusbs , I will start a new group at @KU_PLEN, University of Copenhagen. I look forward to reconnect with my European colleagues. I also have several positions opening in the new group: publish.obsidian.md/mutwillab/Home… #JobAlert #PlantSciJobs

How awesome is this: @PlantSpps has sponsored the English translation of the book Beyond GMO first published by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It is open for all, as a digital publication 👇 spps.se/e-book-beyond-…

Visualizing Science! I'm holding a series of free, online workshops, thanks to Johns Hopkins University. All are welcome! I plan to have fun with Danielle VanBrabant, Damond Kyllo, and Amey Zhang to introduce visualization topics and challenges. No art experience is necessary.

Many specialized metabolite classes have convergently evolved across the plant kingdom. Pleased to share our latest work arguing for why such sporadic evolution has occurred, using cyanogenic glycosides as a case study. @raqueldinamarq1 doi.org/10.1016/j.pbi.…

@ATinyGreenCell @ATinyGreenCell I always enjoy your posts, but these posts with your mum are my favorite! 🤩🙌🏻

It was a dark and stormy night, and I spent a bit of time teachin mom how to lab. She loves the nanodrop so much! I'm slowly working up her confidence to do cloning and eventually her own bioengineering projects. Cherishing these moments. MoClo with Mom is gonna be a highlight!

We have an open Post Doc position in plant-volatile interactions. Ideal if you love to use molecular tools to understand the natural world and improve agriculture. Excellent PhD in a relevant field is needed. Interested? Send your CV, grades, letter and refs to zoe.bont@unibe.ch

Two papers in @Nature present a new genome editing technique that enables the insertion, inversion and deletion of long DNA sequences at user-specified genome positions. The approach may provide an easier method of genome editing. go.nature.com/3RGkI8M go.nature.com/3RHBvIs

At today's VOLT-all meeting @ehneilson talked about her research into the chemical diversity, dynamic pathways, #VOCs etc in different #plants including #eucalyptus
