Registration for our ISPLORE conference in Nagoya, Japan is now open. Hope to see you there! 🌱🌊

Save the date! The website for our #plantscience conference on hypoxia and flooding from September 22-26 in Nagoya, Japan, is now live. Registration opens soon (April, 2025). We hope to see you there 🌾🌊. For more info, check: sites.google.com/view/isplore20…



Excellent work by the Gibbs lab! VRN2 regulates leaf growth through PIF.

Very happy to see our latest paper by @ROsborne_93 et al out today in @Dev_Cell. In this work we identify a role for VRN2-PRC2 in regulating light-responsive growth in Arabidopsis through the conditional epigenetic repression of PIF signalling. cell.com/developmental-…
