Our new experimental evolution study across 30+ locations using the plant Arabidopsis thaliana —— we direct "see" adaptation and extinction to different climates at the genetic as it happens!

Back in the field: Eneza @enezer.bsky.social, Maria, and this year’s students are on Spiekeroog again in 2026, continuing to phenotype wild Arabidopsis in 2026. The dataset grows, and the story continues: Watching climate shape plants - in real time, in real environments.

Excited to share that our work on VIH2-dependent inositol pyrophosphate signaling and arbuscular mycorrhiza is now out in Science Advances!
In this study, we explore how VIH2 contributes to the regulation of AM in Lotus japonicus.

Inositol pyrophosphate messengers regulate arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and phosphate uptake in Lotus japonicus.
New #preprint 😍‼️ led by 2 incredible postdocs @ninizhani.bsky.social & Ranj Papareddy: transforming #UFMylation from a local ribosome rescue pathway to systems level regulator of mRNA splicing www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A short 🧵
Excited to share our latest preprint. Arabidopsis thaliana has been the leading model for plant genetics - but most of what we know comes from growth chambers.
Can this model also help us understand how climate shapes plants in the wild and reveal gene functions under real environmental variability?
