Stomatal transpiration and rapid programmed cell death ☠️ triggered by lowered ambient humidity causes anther tissue collapse for effective pollen release !

Happy to be part of this great PNAS story with @kampova.bsky.social, Matyáš Fendrych, and @svosolsobe.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🌱🌻Finally out! All ICIPS PIs had their say in a seminal 31 page review on the evolution of land plant sexual reproduction. With lots of fine figures to share! Thanks to @icips.bsky.social and @dfg.de for funding our work.

„Transport of phenoxyacetic acid herbicides by PIN-FORMED auxin transporters“ www.nature.com/articles/s41.... A collaboration between my group and @bjornppedersen.bsky.social led by the magic duo @lukas-schulz.bsky.social and @unglam.bsky.social

Thanks to all our sponsors (@dfg.de, @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social, @novogene-europe.bsky.social & CLF PlantClimatics), we were able to attribute 6 international and national travel grants to early-career researchers to come to Berlin and participate to the ICIPS symposium

A surprising discovery in the world’s most studied plant can make seeds bigger.

A pick for your next journal club? We discovered a gene regulatory network involving RALF12 and ROS leading to PCD of a single cell (synergid) within the ovule. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The image shows the three cells of a maize egg apparatus (synergids on top and egg cell below).
