A gel electrophoresis picture. It shows DNA of different sizes.
Happy New Year!
May all your PCRs give you only specific bands of the appropriate sizes. May your gel extraction and miniprep yields be high.
May your cloning always give you at least one correct colony, and your genotyping identify the mutants you are after. ✨

A PhD position (initially 3 years) is available in our laboratory in the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), at the University of Tübingen (Germany). The position is available with an intended start date starting January 2026. Interested applicants should submit a single PDF comprising a motivation letter describing your research interests, an up-to-date CV, and the names and contact information for 2 references to timing.lab@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de ideally before July 21st.
We're looking for a new PhD candidate to join the lab. Please share 🌱😄
A grey coloured Arabidopsis leaf epidermis, with black cell walls. Each cells has a colourful blobs - a nuclear localised fluorescent ABA sensor, with warm colours indicating high concentrations, and cooler colours indicating lower concentrations.
The Rowe lab is recruiting a #PlantScience PhD student for 2025! You'll use our new ABACUS FRET biosensors to map the leaf #AbscisicAcid accumulations at low humidity in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice to understand how ABA regulates stomatal dynamics. #PhDposition

Excited to share our latest research on stomatal dynamics! We developed a microscope to image individual stomata. Maize stomata respond faster to light changes, optimizing CO₂ uptake, while chrysanthemum shows slower closure, affecting water use. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... #Stomata
TODAY is DEADLINE DAY for abstract submissions for talks and posters at SEB 2025! @casparchater.bsky.social and I have a great lineup of Keynote speakers in our #stomata session including SEB president @proftlawson.bsky.social. Please spread the word!
If you want to present your latest #stomata research at SEB 2025, there are only 4 days until the submission deadline(7th of March)!! Excitingly, @casparchater.bsky.social and I can now also announce a brand new Workshop focused on measuring gas exchange across scales with @li-corenv.bsky.social👇👇
Great work showing the multifaceted role of FAMA regulating differentiation in stomatal and myrosin cells.
Also check out my News & Views piece 📝 As a stomatal enthusiast I was especially intrigued by the potential separation of division and differentiation phenotypes 🌱🤔

In this interview, Dominique Bergmann @stanfordstomata.bsky.social talks about her research in stomatal development, her role as an Editor at Development, and how her passion for comparative biology has influenced her career:

Happy to share our preprint on negative relationship between adaxial stomatal density and yield in wheat under field conditions, especially under water and nutrient limitation.
