Just in time for the weekend: our latest paper is out in Plant Biology! Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best-supported model doi.org/10.1111/plb.... #PlantBiology #Evolution #Anthocyanins #Betalains @puckerlab.bsky.social @unibonn.bsky.social

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported modelAnthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co-occurrence, arguing that ...doi.org

We are looking for a Bachelor's or Master's student to develop a functional annotation tool for large plant gene families. If you are excited about this opportunity, please get in touch. Details are available here: www.izmb.uni-bonn.de/en/pbb/news#... #Python #Bioinformatics @puckerlab.bsky.social

Looking for an excellent conference to present your latest plant research or to meet @puckerlab.bsky.social : International Conference of the German Society for Plant Sciences (DBG) 6–10 September 2026 botanik-tagung.de #PlantSciences #Conferences @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social

Final week of our Python course for Plant Sciences Master’s students 🌱🐍🖥️ Covered fundamentals (data types, control flow), file handling, and modules, plus discussed the risks and benefits of AI in scientific research. 🔗 github.com/bpucker/PyBo #Python #Bioinformatics @puckerlab.bsky.social

🌸 Into cherry blossoms? We are looking for someone to help uncover how cherry flowers & fruits get their colors 🍒 Focus: genetics + tissue-specific gene expression in ornamental plants & crops 🔗 www.izmb.uni-bonn.de/en/pbb/teach... #PlantScience #Genetics #CherryBlossom @puckerlab.bsky.social

Visited the Department of Biochemistry & Biotechnology at the University of Thessaly to give lectures on Long Read Genomics. Great discussions and fantastic hospitality - thanks for having me! 🔗 www.izmb.uni-bonn.de/en/pbb/news#... #Bioinformatics #AcademicTravel #iGEM @puckerlab.bsky.social

Excellent networking opportunities and inspiring conversations at the 12th Bioeconomy Science Center (BioSC) Forum! I had the pleasure of presenting @puckerlab.bsky.social ’s research activities and exchanging ideas with so many brilliant minds 🔗 Learn more: www.biosc.de/forum_2026 #Biotech

Are scientific papers always right? Not necessarily. Our students revisited a study on quinoa leaf pigmentation. Here is what they found: doi.org/10.64898/202... #OpenScience #Reproducibility #PlantScience @puckerlab.bsky.social

Starting Monday: Python course at the University of Bonn 🚀 Teaching Plant Sciences master’s students how to handle big data with Python & apply AI to real-world problems 🌱💻 Slides & materials: github.com/bpucker/PyBo #Python #AI #DataScience #PlantScience @puckerlab.bsky.social
