@VGeshkovski @Cristel_Carles congratulations! 🙌

Yesterday I successfully defended my PhD 👨‍🎓 Big thanks to my thesis directors @Cristel_Carles and Gilles Vachon, and the jury for evaluating my work 😎🎉

#PRIMASynergies🌱Trilled to see five PRIMA projects—PROSIT, OPTIMUS-PRIME, RESCHEDULE, REVINE, and Benefit Med—joining forces at today's event"Agriculture and Microbiomes Towards the Future: New Perspectives between Research and Innovation."

It was an honour to be invited to #NanoInnovation2024 in Rome! I would like to thank my tutor, Cristina Bonza, and all the collaborators who have constantly supported me!

Congratulations to Roxane Doireau for publishing her first PhD article in New Phytologist! Well done! AtALMT5 mediates vacuolar fumarate import and regulates the malate/fumarate balance in Arabidopsis doi.org/10.1111/nph.20… Thanks to all the authors!

Even during the holidays, we continue to explore evolution with Marchantia 🌱 @lab_costa @nastasisarap @Cosmicomica

Our new paper is out: "Knock-out of SlDMR6-1 in tomato promotes drought-avoidance and increases Late Blight tolerance" 🌱🍅 Discover how gene editing boosts tomato resilience. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #PlantGenetics #TomatoResearch #DroughtTolerance #NewGenomicTechniques #CRISPR

In the from of @Prosit04952735 , at the @LaStatale University of Milan, prelimary experiments have started to investigate the localization within Arabidopsis thaliana tissues of some endophytes isolated from Sicilian grapevine varieties. 👇

⚠🌾 Distrutto il campo sperimentale di #riso “RIS8imo”, sviluppato con le Tecniche di Evoluzione Assistita #TEA presso il #DiSAA. Un atto vandalico che come dipartimento e comunità scientifica ci lascia sconcertati e indignati. 👉 lnkd.in/dWgq3Rxx @vittoriabr @LaStatale

Today edited rice lines (hopefully) more tolerant to blast are being planted in a field in Italy. First trial of an edited crop in the country. A project born many years ago with @KamounLab, @ThorstenLangner and @vittoriabr. Fresh hope for scientists and farmers.

The hypothesis of GABA involved in CO2 signaling is disproven; decreased stomatal CO2 sensitivity of a commonly used GABA-deficient mutant is attributed to an independent mutation in CO2 sensor MPK12. academic.oup.com/jxb/article/do…

@NickDesnoyer yet, many congratulations in advance nick! it looks super cool!

Fellow scientists and plant enthusiasts, I invite you to my public PhD defense and first ever art exhibition, Plant Models, on April 29. The defense and exhibition will be at the UZH Botanical Gardens starting at 11:00 and 17:00 CEST respectively. Exhibition details below 🧵

Excited to announce that our protocol “Noninvasive In Planta Live Measurements of H2O2 and Glutathione Redox Potential with Fluorescent roGFPs-Based Sensors” is now live! link.springer.com/protocol/10.10… Huge thanks to everyone involved in making this happen...

Many thanks to all speakers and attendees for this wonderful SIBV Workshop on Plant Biology 2024. 😀😀

MEPs, science did its part. Now it's your turn. #NGT

Our first limited batch of Firefly Petunias is set to bloom in Spring 2024 — and we cannot be more excited to announce the start of orders in the US! Order your Firefly Petunia at light.bio
