@dompsfr.bsky.social is well represented at the #Rooting2026 conference! We just heard a great talk by @lauraragni.bsky.social. You can check out our posters #7 (@hengqi.bsky.social) and #4 (mine) today, and listen to my talk tomorrow.
Great gathering at the #rooting2026 symposium #roots - three of our ambassadors presented their work @sophiezoe.bsky.social @rodag.bsky.social @hhtormar.bsky.social and more are around #roots #rootphenotyping

We are now watching a nice ‘movie’ created by Sophie! She is presenting her work on lateral roots!🌱👍
How do plants reprogram growth under stress? @christatesterink.bsky.social (from @w-u-r.bsky.social) showed how salinity reshapes root branching and flowering through auxin, transcriptional regulation, and epigenetics, revealing latent pathways and developmental flexibility.

Very proud of my student @hengqi.bsky.social who won best poster award #rooting2026 #proudPI @dompsfr.bsky.social
Frauke Garbsch (from Laux group) explored how the shoot apical meristem is established in Arabidopsis. We learned about the WOX2 module and how it initiates stem cell formation, together with newly identified downstream genes involved in shoot stem cell niche establishment.

Did auxin signalling exist before plants? @n-priyadarshini.bsky.social (from @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social) studies auxin responses in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, where auxin affects growth and gene networks linked to ROS metabolism, transport, and the cell cycle.
📅 May 8 #PlantScience
From herbicides to tomato breeding: Philipp Johnen (from @basfde.bsky.social) showed how molecular plant science translates into agriculture. From identifying herbicide modes of action to breeding resistant tomatoes, and how basic research supports farmers and crop resilience.

How do plants sense competition?
Ronald Pierik (from @w-u-r.bsky.social) explored how far-red light drives shade avoidance, showing how vascular bundle structure determines auxin routes within leaves to coordinate growth.

"Development is something that happens over time."
Today @augustinsvenja.bsky.social (from @simonrdg.bsky.social, @ceplas.bsky.social) showed how CLE40 coordinates developmental timing in the shoot apical meristem, linking WUS regulation and auxin-mediated differentiation.
