Genetic of plant architecture, dormancy, abiotic stress. potato lover. senior scientist @pilarcubas @CNB_CSIC. Former post-doc @PPH_WUR

Ever wondered why tubers only grow underground? Our last paper shows how BRC1b prevents aerial tuberisation by promoting bud dormancy #TCP #Bud_Dormancy #ABA #Plasmodesmata #Sugar_allocation with @pilarcubas @CNB_CSIC Salome Prat and many others https://t.co/37QfBRy4yZ

How do potato cultivars cope with salt stress? With @KarlovaRumyana we are glad to share that our paper investigating potato plants' response to salt stress is out https://t.co/KalSDvIL5h ! with @PPH_WUR and @TesterinkC

✨ The less fertilizer, the better ✨ 🌍 Is it possible to cultivate potatoes with less fertilizer? Reducing environmental impact while feeding millions? 🥔 Our research published today in @NewPhyt, led by Salomé Prat and @MarufSh84795688, is turning this into reality! 🧵

Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis! https://t.co/78tRPra1yz

Happy to share this work from my postdoc time with @cabeveridge29 and new data from HHU and @ceplas_1 We show that trehalose 6-phosphate is downstream of strigolactones but independent of the known BRC1 pathway. please check it out https://t.co/jug4cGrOtU

Shoot branching is determined by a balance between factors that promote axillary bud dormancy and factors that release buds from the quiescent state. The TCP family of transcription factors is cla...

#Plants 🌱💦 | Almost one-quarter of all irrigated farmlands are affected by salination. Therefore, WUR researchers have discovered a local regulator protein that allows plants to develop in such stressful situations. Do you want to know more? ➡️ https://t.co/gTDblsOx6a

By optimizing tissue permeability, we have developed an enhanced method for whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization, enabling cell segmentation. With this method, we demonstrate that multiple ways lead to shoot meristems during root conversion.#ijpb

Looking forward to be there !
What 's the link between Architecture & Biology 🤔? In both cases the challenge is about interplaying with the 3D space for the sake of functionality. This Fri @livingarchitect @MklNicolas @AMartinezArias J. Macia, A. Prieto & @AngelGMoreno will discuss these matters in @CNB_CSIC
