1/3 What happens when a fly gets persistently infected by a virus? In our latest work, we established persistent infections to examine their impact on this model organism. By tracking four natural, persistent RNA viruses...

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining @imbmainz.bsky.social in February 2026 to start my own group!
We will explore new mechanisms in eukaryotic gene expression, leveraging ‘evolutionary play’ to uncover how regulation, repurposing, and hijacking shape RNA biology.
PhD positions available!

Thrilled to see this out! SalicS is a beautiful new tool to monitor salicylic acid activation live in plants.

Kudos to @xanderjones.bsky.social and @bijuntang.bsky.social for spearheading this work and to @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social for using SalicS in viral infections🌱

It was wonderful to have Bijun with us @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social & @incavirus.bsky.social to finally "use our microscope to its full potential" as our core-facility put it! 🔬

Congrats to all, esp. @bijuntang.bsky.social and @xanderjones.bsky.social ! Super happy to be a part of this great story!

🌞🔬 Big step for #sustainability in science: Today the Max Planck Campus at @potsdamsciencepark.bsky.social inaugurated new #SolarPower systems – including a 6,000 m² agri-PV plant.

Thank you to @manjaschuele.bsky.social & @patrick-cramer.maxplanck.de for making this milestone possible!

New research: With ancient origins & surprising flexibility, #BrownAlgae reveal a compelling story of sex chromosome evolution. This could rewrite how we view sex determination. Learn more: s.gwdg.de/YDoZ3L

Fantastic new paper by @reeserichardson.bsky.social et al.

An enormous amount of work showing the extent of coordinated scientific fraud and involvement of some editors.
The number of fraudulent publications grows at a rate far outpacing that of legitimate science.

How can we better understand the plant immune system? In my new @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social piece, I propose “immune cell states” as a framework for uniting molecular and cellular perspectives.

From initially finding botany classes boring to leading cutting-edge seed development research at the Max Planck Institute. Dr. Duarte Figueiredo's journey shows how the right mentors can transform your relationship with plant science.

A researcher wearing glasses and a gray t-shirt carefully tends to young tomato plants in a greenhouse laboratory. He is examining or adjusting a plant with small yellow flowers while standing at a work bench with organized plant specimens in containers. The modern greenhouse facility has glass walls and metal framework visible in the background.

Nous proposons un sujet de stage de Master 2 à Strasbourg @ibmp-cnrs.bsky.social @unistra.fr pour étudier les conséquences de l’uridylation, une modification post-transcriptionnelle, sur le métabolisme des ARNm au cours de la germination des graines. www.ibmp.cnrs.fr/app/uploads/...

Bringing home seeds or plants from your holiday? 🌿✈️
You might also import something smaller !
🦠 Some viruses travel light... but cause heavy damage.
Don’t plant trouble.
