In Utrecht we celebrate #FascinationOfPlantsDay for the entire month!
Our fantastic 🌸Mariana Vega Blanes🌸 made an exhibition about various ways how plant research impacts society 🌽🌱🌾.
We will conclude on June 12 with an event for the UU Botanic Gardens visitors.

I expect to announce 1 PhD position and 1 Postdoc position in the spring of 2026 (April-May).
Stay tuned!
New preprint! Text by Bram van Eijnatten:
Happy to share a collaboration between @binfutrecht.bsky.social and the Plant Stress Resilience Group from @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social and the Quint lab.
We present the Arabidopsis thaliana 'EcoCore panel':

Thanks for your hospitality @thomaswidiez.bsky.social
Chatting with the excellent scientists at @rdplab.bsky.social was like a breath of fresh air!
I am excited to announce that we have two open positions on our recently funded MYBstery M-WEAVE (NWO-DFG) project!
1) Postdoc in my team at Utrecht University (NL). www.uu.nl/en/organisat...
2) PhD in the team of @lauraragni.bsky.social at University of Freiburg (DE). (See thread)
What features are required to shape hypoxic niches enclosing meristems? We @viktoriiavoloboeva.bsky.social in collab @pieterverboven.bsky.social found that a combination of cuticle barrier, densely packed tissue and metabolic activity all uniquely contribute to maintain shoot apical meristem hypoxia
How are we to argue with the likes of @PlantEvolution? 🌱
“Fantastic and important study” — we’ll happily take that 😊
The formatted PDF of our paper is now online! academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...
@utrechtpmi.bsky.social VICI! The Plant-Microbe Interactions group will hug this guy to pieces! Roeland Berendsen received a prestigious VICI grant from NWO (Dutch Research Council). Congrats Roeland! Looking forward to some very nice #NPEC experiments!

The posters in this exhibition present the perspectives of 9 researchers (from MSc students to Professors) on science communication related to their own fields of study within plant sciences.

Great discussions today with @daanweits.bsky.social who visited our @rdplab.bsky.social in Lyon, France.
Plenty of fresh ideas on plant oxygen sensing, the room definitely had good O₂ levels! 🌱🫧
