New Webinar "Winners and losers: Climate change effects on forests and crops" We will explore how climate change is shaping the future of our forests and crops with Prof Danielle Way (ANU) 📅 11 April 2025 🕐 09:00 a.m. CEST To register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
NEWS - Adjusting trees’ internal clocks can help them cope with climate change. This is one of the finding from a meta analysis done by Bertold Mariën in a collaborative project @IceLab_umea led by Maria E. Eriksson and Jun Yu. Curious? Read more here👇: upsc.se/about-upsc/new…
PAPER - How does the circadian clock integrates with tree growth & phenology? In a meta-analysis, Mariën et al showed that modifying clock components can reprogram trees to new photoperiodic regimes. Read more in @Nature_NPJ biological timing and sleep: doi.org/10.1038/s44323…
Building connections and showcasing UPSC - especially the engagement with group leaders was greatly appreciated by the participants of the Umeå Early Career Plant Scientists Symposium. Thanks to the organisers and to all participants👏! Read more here: upsc.se/about-upsc/new…
🎉 Congratulations to Alice Marcon! She successfully defended her PhD thesis on Friday last week. Well done, Alice 👏 🎊!
INTERVIEW - How is seasonal growth and flowering regulated in trees? PhD student Alice Marcon investigated this in poplar and provided valuable genetic insights that might be interesting for tree breeding programmes. Read more in this interview with her: upsc.se/about-upsc/new…
PAPER - How do the two closely related splicing factors PCP and PCPL differ? Dikaya et al show that the main difference lies in their transcriptional regulation and this is linked to intronic sequences. Take a look on their recent article in @PLOSONE👇: doi.org/10.1371/journa…
PAPER - There are still unknowns in understanding of auxin/IAA metabolism and its interactions with other pathways. @GroupLjung and @emateobonmati developed a strategy to identify new IAA mutants. Read more in @RubnCasano56147 et al @PPLplantarum: doi.org/10.1111/ppl.70…

Dyk ner i mikroorganismernas spännande värld i höst! Nu ger vi en distanskurs med kvällsföreläsningar och två helgträffar med labbar och föreläsningar på plats i Uppsala. Anmälan senast 15 april: slu.se/ew-nyheter/202…
PAPER - Why do conifers unlike angiosperms show enhanced lignin synthesis under shade? Sonali Ranade's and Rosario García-Gil's metabolic profiling showed similarities between conifer and monocot lignin biosynthetic pathways. Read more in @PPLplantarum: doi.org/10.1111/ppl.70…
NEWS - A new regulatory link between cell walls and hormones controls differential growth in plants. Rishikesh Bhalerao's group & collaborators showed that the cell wall component RG-II pectin interacts dynamically with plant hormones. Read more here👇: upsc.se/about-upsc/new…
