A GreenRobust-associated project on the cover of Genome Biology and Evolution!
Super stimulating talk by Olivier Hamant from @rdplab.bsky.social on the tradeoff between efficiency and systemic robustness in biology and beyond. And on how we define societal progress.
Congratulations, Juan Carlos! Another Junior group supported by @dfg.de within the GreenRobust cluster.

NEW PAPER: this review by @chemodiversity.bsky.social, introduces the concept of a chemodiversity landscape, and compiles evidence for emergent properties arising from the mixing of chemical blends from different sources with consequences for ecological functions.

An intertwined network of cytokinin, auxin and peptide hormone signaling activates secondary growth in the Arabidopsis roots.
We could also say that two @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social junior PIs and three @greenrobust.de PIs won the 2018, 2026 and 2027 @biochemsoc.bsky.social
awards ๐ We are good at recruiting biochemists! ๐

Tropaeolum tuberosum is a tuber-forming crop native to the Andes, but remains an underutilized and little-known species - Ruiz-Mateus et al. now assemble a highly complete genome of this species as a foundational resource.

New paper from the Yasin Dagdas (@plantophagy.bsky.social) group, this time in @science.org, on how plant cells cope with viral infection and how selective autophagy delays cell death to give plants a chance to survive. Chapeau and congratulations to all the authors!

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.
Abstract. Tropaeolum tuberosum is a tuber-forming crop native to the Andes, valued for its nutritional content, pest resistance and adaptation to high-alti
Absolutely โค๏ธ this slide from Olivier Hamant about the role of inefficiency in biological robustness. Thx @maizel-lab.org for bringing him to @cosheidelberg.bsky.social
@thesainsburylab.bsky.social is on a roll! Awards from 2025, 2026 and 2027 went to current or former TSL members! @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social, myself and @mpcontreras.bsky.social
And also @plantophagy.bsky.social in 2018 ๐คฏ
