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 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?
