@starmorph-syg.bsky.socialReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.socialThe last day of #auxin2026 featured more of the STARMORPH crowd. @nowako76.bsky.social referred to one of our mentors Karin Ljung @umeaplantsciencecentre.se and Sophie Zoe Farkas from the @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social
@umeaplantsciencecentre.seReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.social🌾🧪What determines the puzzle-like shape of cells on an aspen leaf?🔬
In this short video, @siamsadoyle.bsky.social explains how researchers investigate this question and search for genes controlling cell shape. 🌿
The latest results from this research are now published in @newphyt.bsky.social 👇
@starmorph-syg.bsky.socialReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.socialDay two of the #auxin2026 was a blast with more STARMORPH members on stage! @kleinevehnlab.bsky.social
@srobertgroup.bsky.socialWhat a fantastic meeting and amazing oppotunity to meet the @starmorph-syg.bsky.social crowd!
@starmorph-syg.bsky.socialReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.socialSTARMORPH groups are all at the #auxin2026 meeting in Portugal! First day @srobertgroup.bsky.social and @xanderjones.bsky.social were giving invited lectures and Markéta Budérova gave her first (ever) flash talk!
@srobertgroup.bsky.socialThe best reasons to work on auxin are the auxin meetings!
@embo.orgReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.socialAs the EMBO Fellows' and Members' Meeting #EMBOFMM26 comes to an end, Tanmay Bharat is handed over the EMBO Gold Medal. 🧪
@srobertgroup.bsky.socialI will arrive tonight (late)!

@umeaplantsciencecentre.seReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.social🧪🌾NEWS: Aspen leaf cells change shape during drought
Cells on an aspen leaf surface look like a jigsaw puzzle under the microscope.🔬
@srobertgroup.bsky.social identified a gene controlling this shape and found that drought affects both its activity and cell shape.
@srobertgroup.bsky.socialOff we go! First day of @embo.org fellows and members meeting!
@slcuplants.bsky.socialReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.socialA huge thank you to everyone who attended #SLS26 & our concluding keynote speaker @apmahonen.bsky.social for a fascinating talk and exciting new insights into how stem cell fate decisions are regulated in the vascular cambium.

@srobertgroup.bsky.socialAnd the end of an amazing meeting! One of the best I have ever attended! Thank you @robinsonsci.bsky.social and News bâtis for the organization! @slcuplants.bsky.social #SLS26
@slcuplants.bsky.socialReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.socialAnd that's a wrap for our Flash Talk speakers and poster presenters for Day 2. A huge diversity of really interesting research showcasing the importance of combining molecular genetics, biochemistry, genomics, live imaging & computational modelling
@slcuplants.bsky.socialReposted by @srobertgroup.bsky.socialAnd if this looks like fun research that you would like to be involved in, @mc-caillaud.bsky.social has 2 postdoc positions. Applications close: 1 November 2026
