Assistant Professor Plant Physiology at Wageningen University & Research, trying to find out how chloroplasts contribute to environmental (stress) signaling 🌱
Very happy to see this review by @elizavveen.bsky.social, Jesse Küpers and myself now out in Plant Cell & Environment! About how stresses impact chloroplasts, and how this can steer plant development via retrograde signaling 🌱 @pph-wur.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pce.15664
Plastids in a Pinch: Coordinating Stress and Developmental Responses Through Retrograde Signalling
Plastids can sense environmental stress and improve whole plant adaptation through retrograde communication to the nucleus. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of integrated canonical and ...

Very happy to be a part of this team work! We discovered an unexpected role for ABA in root responses to salt stress. @jasper-lamers.bsky.social @christatesterink.bsky.social @pph-wur.bsky.social @wurplant.bsky.social @epsgraduateschool.bsky.social
And.... the story is now out in PNAS, greatly improved with new data since the pre-print, so check it out and find out how ABA plays an unexpected role in root responses to salinity. @pph-wur.bsky.social @w-u-r.bsky.social

New paper: of 5000 PhDs awarded at large Dutch uni, men were about twice as likely to receive a cum laude degree even if they had same supervisor. Difference most severe with all male PhD committees & reduces with more female members.
