First EPS annual meeting as a PhD student! Was so nice to witness the advancement of plant sciences, and seeing researchers at their different career stages coming together sharing their work. ❤️Big thanks to the EPS office and annual meeting committee 2024 for their hard work.

[Graduate School EPS @EPSGradSchool]

A fantastic annual meeting on a new location in Egmond aan Zee. Thanks 🙏 everyone for a great event. We hope to see you next year. 1/2

It's online! Our latest study on plant temperature signalling.

In the 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑡, temp signalling tightly overlaps with light.

Here we show that in the 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡 there's a lot of overlap with water availability signalling.

There are no more borders in the European Union.

However, you will always know where the Netherlands begins.

We show that salt activates LBD16 independent of auxin-ARF7/19: a ZAT6-dependent pathway enables root branching while the canonical pathway is inhibited by salt! @zhang_yanxia @KilianDuijts @PPH_WUR @dorota_kawa @vandijkadj @WURplant & many others
