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!
Plant cells at the organ surface use mechanical cues to activate a specific growth control programme https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.25.672229v1

🌿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! 👏

It is out! CLAVATA in moss: not only meristems! Big thanks to @jillharrison.bsky.social , @ilichenmoss2.bsky.social and @newphyt.bsky.social
Diversification of CLE expression patterns and nonmeristematic roles for CLAVATA receptor‐like kinases in a moss
The CLAVATA pathway controls meristematic cell proliferation and multiple nonmeristematic processes in Arabidopsis development. While CLAVATA ancestrally regulates meristematic proliferation in nons.....

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.
