How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

It is out! We identified the stem cell factors of the vascular cambium. This work is a result of fruitful collaboration with @khwjtuss and @peter_etchells labs. @ERC_Research @TreeBioCoE @SuomenAkatemia @BioEnvHelsinki @helsinkiuni @durham_uni @UniUtrecht science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Today we gather to honor the memory of Professor Jaakko Kangasjärvi. An inspiring leader, mentor, and driving force in our Center of Excellence in Tree Biology. His visionary work shaped our research and our community. We carry his legacy forward, with gratitude and admiration.

A GWAS study with non-model species can be challenging, as the population demography needs to be understood first. Jiming Liu's work on Chinese Sapindus species is out: doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70058 Great collaboration between @ntusbs and @BFU_IC with Profs Liming Jia and Zhong Chen!

Have you ever wondered how pectin acetylation affects cell adhesion? Together with @BreeannaUrbano1 we have the answer! Check our our joint preprint! @TreeBioCoE researchsquare.com/article/r…

Researchers from @helsinkiuni, @durham_uni, and @UniUtrecht have identified key factors that control stem cell balance in plants, crucial for wood formation and long-term growth. 🌲 @AP_Mahonen @BIOTECH_UH helsinki.fi/en/faculty-biolo…

Yesterday marked the start of the Centre of Excellence in Tree Biology conference in Helsinki. Super interesting talks on a variety of topics in a beautiful location! #coetreebio #tree #plant #conference #plantsinachangingworld

Third and final day of “Plants in a changing world” with brilliant talks on plant development

Day 2 of our meeting with many presentations and discussions on plant adaptation and plasticity 🌳🌱

Day1: all set and ready to start!

First day of our meeting “Plants in a changing world” cohosted by @viikki_plants and us. We have a fantastic lineup of speakers and poster presentations. More info helsinki.fi/en/researchgroup…

Looking forward to today’s session of TreeBio meets Forest Science. From weeds to trees we will discuss contemporary challenges in studying plant development and adaptation from genes to the environment, and back. #Viikkicampus
