Zembla bewijst dat RWE-centrales geen resthout of afval verstoken maar complete tropische oerwouden. Die worden fijngemalen en tot houtpellets geperst. https://t.co/B87jVK5ot2 Zal de regering nu de waarheid over biomassa onder ogen zien en stoppen met die miljardensubsidies?
Arabidopsis thaliana was thought to be entirely absent from Crete.
We finally found it, though it's rare and elusive! 🌿
Given Crete's isolation, we hope to be descendants of the very first lineages that arrived in Europe 120k years ago? Stay tuned 🔬 🧬⏳

We are thrilled to announce that @nobolly has been awarded a highly competitive @ERC_Research Starting Grant for his new project ImmuneCellStates, which will allow him and his team to study immune cell states as the building blocks of plant immunity 🌱

🚨 BREAKING:
Obama: "Sir, I'm not currently the President of the United States, so there's no point in yelling at me. I'm not responsible for foreign policy right now."
Root-knot nematodes pose a substantial threat to tomato production in high tunnels. Vijay Kunwar et al. found that Mi-1-virulent Meloidogyne incognita isolates from resistant tomato rootstocks fail to reproduce on susceptible and resistant peppers: https://t.co/KEoye7Htld
Plants can synthesize mimics of the insect molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) to defend against pests. In this preprint, we discover that two plant families independently evolved biosynthetic gene clusters to make 20E. Amazing team effort by my lab!

Take a look at our new paper on the structure of the EHD2 that, upon oligomerization, forms rings that remodel the plasma membrane and form caveolae.
Beautiful work by Elena, Vasya @v_mikirtumov, Jeff & Oliver Dumke's team; take a look: https://t.co/C23q4ayvdy
Op dagen met weinig zon & wind leveren WKK's in de NL tuinbouw 20% (!) van de NL stroomvraag.
De (kwetsbare) NL stroomvoorziening kan deze WKK's niet missen, terwijl de opeenstapeling van maatregelen de continuering van deze WKK's bemoeilijkt. Bron: BlueTerra.

Paper alert!
The host range paradox of Meloidogyne incognita.
Does an obligate biotroph with >2000 species host range "know" its on different plants?
Seems so (at least in terms of gene expression), but basically we don't understand what it knows.

Z for Zinc Finger: This video features the zinc finger protein ZNF260. As it interacts with genetic material, its fingers insert into the major groove of the DNA to recognize and bind specific nucleotide sequences.
1/ Diese Grafik zeigt die Verteilung von über einer Million z-Werten aus medizinischen Studien. Der z-Wert gibt an, wie viele Standardabweichungen ein Ergebnis vom Mittelwert entfernt ist.
Fällt etwas auf?
Hier even #boerderijvlogje als reactie op het krantenartikel van @ministerLVVN en een vooruitblik op de brief van as vrijdag.
2 Jaar gespendeerd, eigen tijd, boeren op 1 lijn en klinkend plan.
Met gewenste doelen en realiseren opgaven..
Plan kan na vrijdag waarschijnlijk 🚮🤬
