“AI provincializes Europe.” For Tobias Rees, #AI is a philosophical earthquake that destabilizes the very concepts on which #Europe has thought itself. What happens when AI runs diagonal to the foundations of European thought?

A pic from yesterday’s #hike -
The pink #snow is caused by Chlamydomonas nivalis, an algae that thrives in the cold high altitude environment. These algae release pink pigment as a protective barrier against the sun throughout the summer snowmelt & then go dormant in winter.

260 people, 88 talks, 90 posters, Chlamy 2025 in Münster is just a whirlwind of information, but its oddly comforting being surrounded by people battling the same scientific battles. Makes me feel a little less clueless, a little more fond of my own work, and dare I say, a tad proud of myself.

The Role of CO₂, Nutrients, & Heat in Algal Proliferation

Incidences of Harmful Algal Blooms are becoming more frequent, together with their impacts on food & water security. Algal blooms act as a sink for atmospheric CO2, but can also harm biodiversity & disrupt ecosystems

Great work by Li et al. (2025) on identifying the regulatory loop between #PlantTOR complex (TORC) via its RAPTOR1B subunit (Ser897) and the CBL4/CBL10–CIPK24 module in #Arabidopsis, which regulates the balance between plant growth and #SaltStress response ⚖️.

Figure 1. Target of rapamycin complex (TORC) activity is rapidly repressed by salt stress. A) Dose dependance of salt-mediated TOR repression. 35S:S6K1-HA seedlings were treated with different NaCl concentrations for 4 h. Band intensity in the immunoblots indicates the level of total protein (anti-HA in lower panel) or T449-phosphorylated form of S6K1 (anti-p-T449 in upper panel). B) Quantification of relative p-T449 intensity in A). The data represent the ratio of intensity of p-T449 over S6K1-HA, and the value for the sample “0 mM NaCl” was set as 1. C) Time course of salt-mediated TOR repression. 35S:S6K1-HA seedlings were treated with 200 mM NaCl for indicated times. D) Quantification of relative p-T449 intensity in C). The value at 0 min was set as 1. E) TORC activity was restored following salt recovery treatment. 35S:S6K1-HA seedlings were treated with 200 mM NaCl for 15 min, and then transferred to the recovery medium for indicated times. Rec, recovery. F) Quantification of relative p-T449 intensity in E). In B), D), and F), the data represent the ratio of intensity of p-T449 over S6K1-HA, data are means±SEM, n=3 (biologically independent experiments). Different letters in B) and D) represent significant difference between samples by one-way ANOVA (P<0.05, Supplementary Data Set 1). In F), *P<0.05 (one-way ANOVA, Supplementary Data Set 1) Figure 6.The salt-tolerant phenotype shown in raptor1b mutant is abolished in the absence of SOS2/Calcineurin B-Like (CBL)-Interacting Protein Kinase 24 (CIPK24). A) Representative images of Col-0, cipk24, raptor1-2, and raptor1-2cipk24 mutant under normal or salt conditions in post-germination assays. Scale bar: 1 cm. B) Chlorophyll content per 4 seedlings measured at the end of the assay shown in A). Quantitative data are mean±SD of three biological repeats. Statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA. (***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001, n.s., not significant). C) Working model for target of rapamycin complex (TORC), abscisic acid (ABA), and CBL–CIPK signaling pathways to orchestrate growth and salt stress response under changing salinity status. In response to salt stress, ABA pathway and CBL–CIPK pathway dominate, suppressing TORC by phosphorylating RAPTOR1B and slowing down the growth to facilitate stress adaptation. Upon the removal of salt stress, TORC rapidly activates to suppress the ABA- and CBL–CIPK-mediated salt stress response network and promotes plant growth.

A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and pathogen entry.
