Great to be part of Day 2 at #SLS26 and to share my work alongside such a diverse range of plant science. Really enjoyed the discussions and the mix of molecular, imaging and quantitative approaches 🌱🔬

So nice to talk at #SLS26 about learning gene regulation dynamics from spatial data, learning interpretable mechanistic models from the flower atlas at the scale of the whole dataset!
Kicking off #SLS26 Day 2 is @weibingyang.bsky.social talking about how cell walls guide stem cells in the shoot apical meristem including new research on pectin methylesterification & its influence on cell division patterns and stem cell maintenance.

What an amazing opportunity to present my work at #SLS26 at @thesainsburylab.bsky.social! Already the first couple of hours were worth the trip!
I’m looking forward to the next 2 days of inspiring talks on plant morphogenesis. 🍀
Wow, what a day! 👏 A huge shout-out to our amazing Flash Talk presenters and poster presenters. The poster session was packed with exciting science, thoughtful questions, and great conversations. A brilliant start to the 2026 Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium #SLS26! 🌱🔬
So many inspiring talks today at #SLS26! It was great to present my and @tadseymour.bsky.social work on carpel development and have many interesting chats. Thank you so much, looking forward to tomorrow!
@mromeiromotta.bsky.social presents findings at #SLS26 that suggest that mechanical stress damages microtubules in ways that recruit MAP65-1, triggering the formation and bundling of new microtubules to reinforce the cytoskeleton

Bénédicte Sanson's (@pdncambridge.bsky.social) talk at #SLS26 explores the mechanisms by which tricellular junctions control dynamics during cell rearrangements and other cell behaviours. Really cool reseach also relevant to plants!

@mc-caillaud.bsky.social's talk at #SLS26 suggests actin-mediated regulation allows flexible implementation of a shared core strategy, favouring division perpendicular to the growth axis and symmetric partitioning, while avoiding lateral wall anchoring.

Martina de Angelis (University of Bristol) shares fascinating research at #SLS26 studying how carpels are shaped, showing that dorsoventral patterning genes that shape other plant organs are also expressed during carpel morphogenesis, suggesting a partially conserved developmental program.
Paz Merelo Cremades (@upv.es) discusses how interaction between abscisic acid & key shoot apical meristem regulators plays a major role in meristem homeostasis at #SLS26
Very excited to be takin part in the Sainsbury Lab Symposium 2026 🙂

Utpal Nath from Indian Institute of Science #SLS26 talk on "Divide, expand, open: How coordinated growth drives cotyledon development" featured fascinating research findings. Nath team members will also present additional aspects of their research at the poster sessions.

Transcription in plants more complicated than what we teach in 1st year biology! @luciastrader.bsky.social provides insights into her team's development of plant transcription activation domains libraries & future work on AD evolution and prediction/test on additional species during #SLS26 keynote
Keynote by @luciastrader.bsky.social from Salk Institute opens #SLS26 with 'Transcription in plants' & invites the audience to Choose Your Own Adventure! Condensates won!
Welcome to #SLS26 by symposium coordinators @robinsonsci.bsky.social and Neha Bhatia
We're getting ready to welcome everyone to #SLS26! Make sure you've checked the programme and packed your poster (if presenting). See you soon!
