🌾🧬Four decades of GE crop adoption in the US show higher yields & lower volatility for corn & soybean, with partial offset of climate stress & reduced northward crop shifts

GE crops act as both productivity & climate-adaptation tools #plantsci @natclimate.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Second day of #PPATH26 begins at the @johninnescentre.bsky.social!

Yesterday's brilliant lectures have set an excellent tone for the week. #BSPP26 #plantpath #plantsci

Preview for a @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social paper - reflecting on Fusarium-bacterial interactions and their impacts on plant health. #PlantSci #MicroSky

Congratulations! Dr Sarina Niedzwiedz from @unibremen.bsky.social today at #BT2026 receives one of this year’s Horst Wiehe Prizes from DBG’s own Horst Wiehe-Foundation for her excellent #PlantSci PhD thesis in which she analysed how #ClimateChange menaces arctic #kelp forests.

Congratulations! Dr Paul Grünhofer from
@unibonn.bsky.social at #BT2026 receives one of this year’s Horst Wiehe Prizes from DBG’s own Horst Wiehe Foundation for his excellent #PlantSci PhD thesis.

He had questioned long-standing assumptions about the protecting surfaces of poplars.

Congratulations! Dr Jaccoline Zegers from @uni-goettingen.de at #BT2026 receives the Wilhelm Pfeffer Prize from DBG’s own Wilhelm Pfeffer Foundation for her excellent #PlantSci PhD thesis, in which she reconstructs what plants were already capable of before they conquered land Mio. of years ago.

Congratulations! Dr Michelle Rönspies from @kit.edu at #BT2026 receives Eduard Strasburger Prize for excellent #PlantSci. She demonstrated for the first time that the gene scissors CRISPR/Cas can be used to restructure even large fragments of plants’ genomes without impairing growth or development.
