Mehta Lab

The Experimental Plant Systems Biology Lab led by @drdevangm at @KU_Leuven studies plant chronobiology for climate adaptation.

🌅Delighted to share a paper that spanned the start of not one but TWO labs, now out in @ScienceAdvances. With @LabUhrig we discovered that plants sense the duration of TWILIGHT via their clock genes LHY/CCA1!

🌱PCP sponsors the first-ever Plant Chronobiology Conference⏲️ in Leuven, Belgium on June 13th and 14th 2025.
Registration is now open!

[Mehta Lab @theMehtaLab]

🍾We're funded! Two @FWOVlaanderen grants (the max. allowed/lab) allowing us to deploy our proteomics toolkit to:
1️⃣ understand how viruses interact with insect vectors & plants
2️⃣ understand circadian clock gene regulation under changing environments!

Onderzoek van @theMehtaLab toont aan dat planten de duur van de schemering meten en hun groei daaraan aanpassen 🌅🌱 @biosystkuleuven @LeuvenPlantInst https://t.co/xEP4p4RQmu

Happening now, career transition panel! #ICAR2024

[mary williams @PlantTeaching]

#ICAR2024 Dawn Nagel from UC Riverside is introducing the concurrent session on plant circadian rhythms with an overview of the biological clock and an announcement about the "first ever" plant chronobiology conference, June 2025 (adjacent to ICAR2025 in Belgium).
