I would like to announce that a new Research Topic "Hormone-Induced Plant Stress Adaptation: Brassinosteroids and Beyond" has just been launched in Frontiers in Plant Science and is open for submissions. Please, visit the Research Topic website: www.frontiersin.org/research-top...

I am so proud 😁to announce that my PhD Student, Karolina Żółkiewicz, has just received financial support from the National Science Centre (NCN) for her PRELUDIUM project. Competition was very tough (as usual), so Congratulations, Karolina! Well done! 👍Thank you, NCN! 🧬🌾

My new "object of cult". A fabulous journey 📖❤️. Thank you, Prof. Tim Coulson

I am proud to be a witness of this development from the very beginning 🧬🌾👍

I have read the hardcopy version📚. Highly recommended👍

Counting down the last days of this cold weather 😏. Spring is my favourite season😎

Our new original research www.frontiersin.org/journals/pla... by Karolina Zolkiewicz, Jana Oklestkova, Beata Chmielewska, and @damiangruszka.bsky.social has just been accepted for publication in Frontiers in Plant Science. Final version will be released soon - STay tunEd! 🌾🧬

I love the season when I can spot the first signs of Spring. #Spring #Bielsko #Cieszyn

Our review doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... by Karolina Zolkiewicz, Sunny Ahmar, and @damiangruszka.bsky.social has just been made available online in Biotechnology Advances as a Journal Pre-proof. Final version will be published soon.

TOPICAL REVIEW: Take a Deep BReath: Manipulating brassinosteroid homeostasis helps cereals adapt to environmental stress (Karolina Zolkiewicz, Damian Gruszka)

Happy to announce that our article doi.org/10.1093/plph... by Karolina Zolkiewicz and @damiangruszka.bsky.social has just been published (OA, pre-proof) as Topical Review in Plant Physiology @plantphys.bsky.social 🌾🧬

😀Just been notified that our manuscript on #brassinosteroids by Karolina Zolkiewicz and @damiangruszka.bsky.social had been accepted for publication as #TopicalReview in Plant Physiology @plantphys.bsky.social Details will be revealed ASAP.

Sex on Steroids: How Brassinosteroids Shape Reproductive Development in Flowering Plants Abstract. Since the discovery of brassinolide in the pollen of rapeseed, brassinosteroids (BRs) have consistently been associated with reproductive traits.

🌱Sex on Steroids…

Lima and Figueiredo explain how #Brassinosteroids could hold the key to improving crop traits and yield through their multifaceted regulation of the plant reproductive cycle (incl. fertility, hybridization barriers & seed development) 🌼🌱

What a beauty! 😃 It seems that there is still a child deep in my heart

I have just learnt that today is the International Day of Black Cats. 🥳

Highly recommended short 😉 history of information (from the Stone age to A.I.) by Y.N. Harari 🩵

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.
