🌾🧬 Biofortification needs a new strategy. Two approaches: mine crop diversity for better nutrition and use genome editing to boost micronutrients. A unified framework for cross crop biofortification. #plantscience @jipb.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌽🧬ZmMS1 controls ROS and lipid balance for male fertility in maize. Loss gives recessive sterility. Early expression gives dominant sterility. Both work across backgrounds with no yield penalty New tools for hybrid maize breeding #plantsci @jipb.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🍊🧬 First magnetic nanoparticle transformation in loquat. Pollen apertures allow entry. Transgenic and gene edited lines produced. Bypasses tissue culture. New platform for recalcitrant woody species. #plantscience @jipb.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌱🧬RACK1A and FSD1 team up in stress granules to manage salt stress. Under salt stress, both move into cytoplasmic condensates where FSD1 activity drops. RACK1A knockout blocks this recruitment A new mechanism for antioxidant defense regulation @plantphys.bsky.social academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...

Social Identity Matters in Mentoring: Applications are NOW OPEN for the Fall SI-MI Mentoring Course. A free online training for plant scientists on how social identity shapes mentoring relationships #plantscience @plantteaching.bsky.social @abioticstress.bsky.social rootandshoot.org/simi2026/

🌿🔬Growth or defense? Plants constantly balance both. Immunometabolism links development, signaling & defense metabolites. Stress triggers metabolic reprogramming. New multi‑omics tools are finally revealing how this trade‑off works #plantsci @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/27...

🧬Plant genomes have blind spots: tandem duplications. Short-read assemblies collapse them. Annotation pipelines make it worse. The fix? Graph pangenomes from long-read, haplotype-resolved assemblies restore tandem arrays as discoverable, measurable objects www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The May Special Issue celebrates 30 years of @cp-trendsplantsci.bsky.social with “Big concepts – shaping the future of plant science”. Also introducing a new series on “Women in plant science around the world” featuring 30 women scientists from 30 countries #plantscience www.cell.com/trends/plant...
