ONLINE COVER Maximum-intensity projection of a confocal image of epidermal cells from the Thale cress roots, where four colors stain different cell parts. Goldy et al. demonstrate that the protein actin allows cells to override standard division rules by stabilizing the orientation of spindles, which segregate chromosomes during mitosis. This uncovers a previously under-appreciated role for actin cytoskeletons, providing new insight into how division orientation is controlled to ensure robust tissue architecture during plant growth.

What could be more satisfying than this ?

✨️Congrats to all the authors ✨️

Could not be more proud of you 🥹

I am beyond thrilled (like the screaming and jumping type of thrilled) that my SNSF Starting Grant was funded. I will start my own lab @unibe.ch next year, studying succulent anatomy development and if and how this anatomy is required for efficient CAM photosynthesis in different Kalanchoë species 🌱

Thrilled to be among the recipients of the SNSF Starting Grants! Congrats to all the incredible researchers funded this year. Can’t wait to keep exploring how plants grow, sense, and respond to mechanical forces. Plants and biophysics rock!🌱⚛️

Congratulations 🦾

Coming to you live from #ISPLORE2025JP Fresh preprint from my lab showing that leaves progressively oxygenate and how this is important for their morphogenesis.Thanks to our collaborators from @Fra_LicO2si lab. #plantscience

It is real!!! 3 years after Joris Sprakel and I conceived the first ideas, the GreenTE Gravitation project has really started. We could not be happier after seeing all the ambition, joy and excitement among our ECR’s and PI’s. Plant Mechanobiology for the win!!! More info: www.green-te.nl

Sexual selection drives the speciation of lineages with contrasting mating systems Repeated shifts in ecological strategies often lead to consistent speciation patterns across phylogenies. One example is the transition from outcrossi…

Proud to present the first data paper from the lab, published today in @pnas.org.

We describe a new mechanism for CLE peptides as local symbiosis-amplifying signals, promoting plant interactions with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

Congratulations @sagarbashyal.bsky.social et al.!

ARF degradation defines a deeply conserved step in auxin response Nature Plants - De Roij et al. map a minimal region for auxin response factor (ARF) degradation in Marchantia and reveal that ARF instability predates the emergence of the auxin response. This...

Final version of our preprint on ARF degradation now online @natplants.nature.com. Great job by PhD student Martijn de Roij in our team @bic-wur.bsky.social @w-u-r.bsky.social with @jorgehg.bsky.social and JW Borst. Great to see this appear along @mjprigge.bsky.social paper!!!

So happy to share our most recently published work.

Indeed. I guess our papers will be published in the same issue.

Thanks, Lars!

Thank you very much!
