@pik-potsdam.bsky.socialReposted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialPlant diversity = insurance against #ClimateChange.
🆕PIK-led study with @uni-kiel.de finds: grasslands with strongly reduced plant diversity could take up 15% less CO₂ through photosynthesis in 2050 than those where diversity is maintained.
@mpipz.bsky.socialReposted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social📣Paper Alert! 🥳 A new study @cp-cell.bsky.social from the Schulze-Lefert group @mpipz.bsky.social reveals how Arabidopsis adapts its iron acquisition strategy to soil pH, using coumarins & bacterial pathways to access this essential nutrient. 👏 👉 bit.ly/4yEU9Em #plantsci

@gromesroland.bsky.socialReposted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialJust spontaneously, big plant questions: * How to adapt agriculture to climate change? * Can climate change and biodiversity loss be mitigated in ecosystems? * Can photosynthesis be optimized? * How did the mosses/tracheophytes split evolve (e.g. what did early land plants do with their stomata)?
@thomasmock.bsky.socialReposted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialOur new paper co-led with the Liang group (Xiamen University) just out in "Research". What if there is a transcription factor regulating the biochemical composition (silicon/chitin) of the #diatom cell wall? @norwichmicro.bsky.social @ueaenv.bsky.social

@plantsciencedbg.bsky.social„Without funding of basic research – which is the advantage of doing research in Germany – our discoveries would not have been possible”, Nobel Prize laureate 2026 Peter Hagemann points out in German news @heutejournal.bsky.social
(starting at 19:00 minutes) – in German www.zdf.de/play/magazin...
@nobelprize.orgReposted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialPeter Hegemann and Georg Nagel – awarded the 2026 medicine prize – discovered a remarkable protein, channelrhodopsin, in a single-celled alga. Hegemann wondered how Chlamydomonas, a single-celled alga, is able to swim towards a light source.

@plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialCongratulations to biophysicist Peter Hegemann @humboldtuni.bsky.social, plant physiologist Georg Nagel @uni-wuerzburg.de, and @deisseroth.bsky.social!
…. it all started with a basic research question: how tiny alga sense light
@nobelprize.orgReposted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialBREAKING NEWS The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
@michaelraissig.bsky.socialReposted by @plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialJust wrapped the 13th PhD School on Plant Development in Neustadt! 🌱🌾 I went to this meeting as a 1st-year PhD student, so it was an honor to bring it back to life with @moritznowack.bsky.social . Amazing talks, a fantastic community, and a wine-tasting dinner at a local winery 🍷
@plantsciencedbg.bsky.socialYou, @moritznowack.bsky.social, and all participants are very welcome!
