@sarahjose.bsky.socialThis #WorldFoodDay, I'm showcasing some recent @plosone.org papers to explore how we might make crops more resilient to #climatechange, with insights into #plantscience, #fungi interactions, and importantly the #socialscience of farmer acceptance! everyone.plos.org/2026/10/15/w... #farming

@newphyt.bsky.socialWhat a fantastic few days exploring forest interactions!
Thank you to everybody who joined us for the 48th New Phytologist Symposium in Leysin, Switzerland.
@plant-sci.bsky.social🌾🧬The qCR8 locus holds two linked nitrate reductase genes, CR8.1 and CR8.2. Their additive activity boosts nitrate uptake, grain yield, and nitrogen use efficiency.
Alleles from cultivar 9311 are favorable for breeding. #plantscience @jipb.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
@plant-sci.bsky.social🌾🧬 A dual-layer allele engineering framework pairs protein design with regulatory tuning. In rice, it produced herbicide-resistant OsHPPD variants tolerating four times the field rate—and worked in wheat. #plantscience @natplants.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@jxbotany.bsky.social📚 FROM THE ARCHIVE 📚
The ascorbate–glutathione cycle sits at the core of redox regulatory networks. Ascorbate, glutathione and reactive oxygen species link energy metabolism to signalling pathways but also serve many other functions.

@oddlytruejp.bsky.social🌸 Japanese researchers decoded the cyclamen genome: 1.48 billion base pairs, 83% of them repeats.
Shop cyclamen once had almost no scent. Breeding it back took Saitama 21 years. Next goal: finding the scent genes.

@ucdavisplants.bsky.social🌱 From UC Davis: A mutation that keeps bean pods from splitting open helped enable domestication in Mexico, revealing genetic clues for breeding improved crops. (Burcu Celebioglu, Travis Parker, Paul Gepts)
@ucdavisplants.bsky.social🌱 From Molecular Plant: Mutations in PvMYB26 reduced pod shattering in common beans, tracing their domestication to west-central Mexico and possibly a third origin in Peru. (Burcu Celebioglu, Xingyao Yu, Xiaosa Xu, Paul Gepts, Travis A. Parker)
