We are delighted to be Silver Sponsors of #PGRP2026! Look for our Deputy Executive Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Jie Shen from the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences if you want to discuss publishing #PlantScience with us and @wileylifesci.bsky.social!

Session 4 resumes after the coffee break and poster session with Julia Bailey-Serres, who presents how high-resolution disome footprinting links translational stochasticity with mRNA turnover 🧬🎲♻️ #PGRP2026

Flash talks again ⚡ Vivek Kumar Raxwal, Tomas Maria Tessi, An Vi Ly, Manuel Gonzalez Fuente and Manvi Sharma covered UPF1 beyond NMD, actin crosslinkers in PTGS, stress-driven translation initiation, bacterial P-body hijacking, and cell type-specific translation under temperature stress 🧬 #PGRP2026

Our very own @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social is giving a flashtalk on his project „how pathogens can suppress host translation by hijacking P-body condensates“ at #PGRP2026 ➡️ visit his poster (#130) and also @seedbarrett.bsky.social poster on „how abiotic stress regulates P-body dynamics“ (#52)

Now it's Jean-Marc Deragon's turn, presenting how the loss of tRNA uridine thiolation affects mRNA translation, protein production and metabolite accumulation in Arabidopsis 🧬⚗️🌱 #PGRP2026

Session 4 continues with Daniel Gibbs, who shows how TOR–NOT4 signalling couples translation to co-translational quality control in plants 🧬⚙️✅ #PGRP2026

We continue with the translation session at #PGRP2026 with @djgibbs.bsky.social who will talk about his recent exciting paper on co-translational quality control in plants (see also the very very recent publication from his lab ➡️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

Session 4 (Translation) opens with Rémy Merret, who presents the endoplasmic reticulum as a regulator of translation-dependent mRNA fate under heat stress in plants 🧬🔥🌱 #PGRP2026

Back from lunch with Polly Hsu, who decodes translation: hidden ORFs and a new rule for maximizing protein production 🧬🔍🏭 #PGRP2026

Closing Session 3, Monika Zakrzewska-Placzek presents the functional synergy between DXO1 and XRN3 in Pol II transcription and cotranscriptional mRNA processing 🧬🤝⚙️ #PGRP2026

Seong Wook Yang on the proteolytic networks that fine-tune the miRNA biogenesis and silencing machinery, through the proteostasis of HYL1, SE, DCL1 and AGO1 🧬♻️⚙️ #PGRP2026

After the coffee break, Session 3 resumes with Pascal Genschik, who shows that DRB2 is required for efficient and accurate DCL4 processing in plant antiviral immunity 🧬✂️🛡️ #PGRP2026

Rodrigo Siqueira Reis on how RNA turnover mediates the plant growth-defense tradeoff at warm temperatures 🧬🌡️⚖️ #PGRP2026

Dorothee Staiger maps the in vivo binding landscape of Arabidopsis CFI and its interplay with spliceosomal components in cleavage and polyadenylation site choice 🧬✂️📍 #PGRP2026

Session 3 (RNA Processing & Turnover) opens with Dominique Gagliardi, who presents how a core combination of post-transcriptional processes drives the diversity of mRNA poly(A) profiles 🧬📏🌱 #PGRP2026

Day 2 of #PGRP2026 starts with Rosa Lozano-Durán and "Another one bites the dust: Geminivirus co-option of plant RNA splicing" 🦠✂️🌱

We start the second day of @pgrp2026.bsky.social with a keynote by @geminiteamlab.bsky.social who will talk about how Geminivirus is manipulating host plants by targeting the splicing machinery #PGRP2026

I am in Málaga at the PGRP conference. Nice place and nice conference, if you are here too come to see poster 25.
#PGRP2026

And to close Session 2 and an exciting first day, Arsheed Sheikh shows how Turnip mosaic virus hijacks the host's own RNA methylation machinery to orchestrate plant infection 🦠🧬🌱 #PGRP2026

Session 2 is nearing its end. Andrew Nelson presents how the mRNA covalent modification dihydrouridine regulates transcript turnover and photosynthetic capacity during abiotic stress, from sorghum in the field to Arabidopsis mutants 🧬☀️🌾 #PGRP2026
