(🧵 7/7) This paper reflects the combined effort of scientists committed to advancing science-based innovation, enabling policies that promote the development and responsible use of biostimulants and plant growth regulators in agriculture.

(🧵 6/7) The group formed to examine how plant hormones, biostimulants, and microbial interactions can enhance crop resilience under climate stress.

(🧵 5/7) Ranging from Ghent University, University of Liège (Belgium), Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (Italy), & the University of California, Davis (USA), the team integrates academic and applied perspectives to explore plant stress responses and regulatory frameworks for sustainable agriculture.

(🧵 4/7) The authors of this review are a collaborative group of researchers with expertise in plant physiology, molecular biology, agronomy, soil science, and biostimulant regulation.

(🧵 3/7) The review calls for updated rules to support faster, more flexible solutions for sustainable farming.

(🧵 2/7) In this Review, Li et al. explore how biostimulants, plant hormones, & microbes can help crops better withstand climate stress. Although these tools work through the same natural processes as traditional methods like breeding, they face stricter regulations—despite being safe and effective.

(🧵 6/6) Five years of collaborative research into decoding the biophysical and structural determinants of phase separation are now converging on the goal of applying phase separation principles to engineer temperature-responsive gene networks in different plant species.

(🧵 5/6) The France–China collaboration (Stephanie Hutin, Mark Tully, Chloe Zubieta, Xuelei Lai, and Jiawei Li) tackles a fundamental question: how do transcriptional regulators assemble into functional condensates and tune temperature response?
