New Year Start Treats: Paper Published😀!
I'm so happy for publishing a paper in my ❤️#research focus area! Have a look 👇

Currently concluding an initial experiment on #salt stress responses in #local (#Greek) watermelon varieties. As #biodiversity is key for #plant #breeding we aim to dig up #genetic material that is more resistant to #abiotic stress through the application of #omics techniques !

After almost one year off twitter due to a little human's arrival in my (our) lives 😀, I think I am ready to get back on track here! Never totally away anyways but so excited for the things to come. #researchers #plants #womeninscience #motherson

A PhD position is available in my group @_SLU. Come join us in Sweden to work on plant regeneration and grafting, supported by @KAWstiftelsen. Details below. Please RT! #plantgrafting #plantscijobs

Our paper “A conserved graft formation process in Norway spruce and Arabidopsis identifies the PAT gene family as central regulators of wound healing” is now out in @NaturePlants, led by @MingFen30366917 and Ai Zhang. A short thread! #plantgrafting

Work of art or just #nature doing its job? #HydroponicFarming #aquaponics #farming #Sustainability #tomato

We are happily introducing a new term in #plant sci #research. Combination of new #sustainable hort tech with #genomics, aiming to pinpoint genes responsible for 🌱growth under diverse 💡conditions. Our new paper 👇@ntinas_

Dr. Aphrodite @Tsaballa et al. tested the impact of lower root-zone temperature on plants’ status and recorded their responses while providing energy for heating using photovoltaic solar panels: https://t.co/6gJX6stGhI

@Thomina_Gramm wow thanks! Good to hear ! So nice to know that more women get involved in science!

[Dr Aphrodite Tsaballa @Tsaballa]

Adding mentoring #highschool students to my activities. Let's see how this will go! Do you think I will get them excited about #plants and #agronomy?? Excited!

@AuditoryNerves And what beautiful weather in Athens! Hope you enjoy it, such a nice December sunny day right?

2nd phase in our #Aquaponics experiment and we are now growing 🍅! We are collecting physiology, biochemical and molecular data to monitor how #plants are coping with different nutrients coming from #trout #aquaculture

@DrHikov Congratulations Lee!

Another one, feels nice to be back to physical meetings and conferences ! #18plantbreedingcongress #PlantSci #researchers #Science #SciComm

[Dr Aphrodite Tsaballa @Tsaballa]

Last week in Athens #HAICTA2022 conference, we had the pleasure to present the first results from our smart #aquaponics system where #plants are being thorougly checked for their adaptability via gene expression studies (among other interesting things) #agriculture #smartfarming

@AuditoryNerves I wish but it's more like this

[Dr Aphrodite Tsaballa @Tsaballa]

So my plants (literally ANY plant) have these yellow leaves/this bug/wither/do not look good, what should I do?

When people find out what your job is - what annoying thing do they always say?

Happy Birthday to me! Another (difficult) trip around the sun but I'm here! And that's what counts! By the way I'm turning 27 #not
