How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Very excited that our work on directional symplastic transport in differentiated root is now published!A developmental switch controls cell-to-cell transport in roots via pectin-linked plasmodesmata changes: Molecular Plant cell.com/molecular-plan…

After checking more thoroughly, what I wrote above is not entirely true (yet) for individual posts - but we are getting a huge number of notifications from new followers on BlueSky.
I’ve lost touch with many Twitter friends for a while, but today I found almost all of them on Bluesky! It’s like losing them on Earth and suddenly finding them all on Mars. 🌌 Join me there: cyi12.bsky.social!
Read here a review about how nutrients are distributed across the woody stem. Plant physiologists, ecologists, and wood scientists need to collaborate to understand if the investment in wood nutrients, or "is a relatively fixed trait, or conversely whether under global change…
Congratulations to my @OEB_Helsinki colleague @AP_Mahonen and their team - what a great coincidence to have our papers come out in the same issue of @ScienceMagazine😀!
How cool is this? Publishing in @ScienceMagazine is a dream for many researchers - today this dream has come true for not just one, but two of our researchers! 🥳🎉🍾 Congratulations @annaliisalaine & @AP_Mahonen @helsinkiuni! Read the news about their publications👇
An international team of researchers sheds light on what is the role of stem cells in wood formation throughout the life span of a plant. @AP_Mahonen helsinki.fi/en/faculty-bio…
Researchers from @helsinkiuni, @durham_uni, and @UniUtrecht have identified key factors that control stem cell balance in plants, crucial for wood formation and long-term growth. 🌲 @AP_Mahonen @BIOTECH_UH helsinki.fi/en/faculty-bio…
Check out this awesome new collaborative paper from members of our group ECPD @khwjtuss with @AP_Mahonen and J. Peter Etchells leading to the Identification of cambium stem cell factors and their positioning mechanism. uu.nl/en/research/ex… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
