So happy and proud to share our lab’s first #plantscience research article, revealing that angiosperms have the capacity to encode memory of flooding stress.
A heroic effort by @aidamaric.bsky.social in collaboration with @djgibbs.bsky.social and others. A brief 🧵

Over the past year, @biologyopen.bsky.social has expanded its Fast & Fair initiative to accelerate peer review. The results are impressive - take a look at their latest preprint to find out more: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
I am starting a selection of papers dealing with the plant TOR kinase on biomed.news (plus related papers) since there are not so many :).
Here is a first selection:

Enjoy!
Very interesting paper on the role of lipid droplets for viral propagation !
Paying peer reviewers works.
Expanded Fast & Fair experiment @biologyopen.bsky.social:
• 5.5 vs 37.7 working days to decision with reviews
• ~3 vs ~9 reviewer invitations per manuscript
• no reduction in editor-assessed review quality
• similar acceptance rates

We are happy and proud to share our preprint describing an Arabidopsis mutant (named loki:) that develops cell clusters when TOR is inhibited. The mutated gene codes for a component of the conserved eukaryotic RAVE complex regulating V-ATPase activity.

@scourbier.bsky.social from @uni-freiburg.de @cibss.bsky.social is one of the invited speakers of #pem26. She will give a talk on the role of TOR in shade mediated hypocotyl elongation
Join us in Montpellier next july
