@plantphys.bsky.social is 100 years old! We are celebrating this accomplishment with a symposium at #PlantBio2026 We start with a look back at the first and current issue.
A research team led by Prof. @gatsogia.bsky.social has gained new insights into the workings of a cellular transporter — a protein essential for pathogenic fungi to absorb vital nutrients. These findings could contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies against fungal infections.

The algal pyrenoid turbocharges global CO2 fixation. Central to its function are specialized membranes that deliver CO2. We discovered that the protein RBMP2 makes these membranes—and found that the mysterious minitubules appear to enhance CO₂ delivery! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Metabolic design considerations for recycling of respiratory CO2 in leavesThe loss of assimilated carbon as CO2 due to respiration and other metabolism is an overlooked target for improving plant productivity. Here, we report the use of a constraint-based modelling approac...onlinelibrary.wiley.comBiologist Angelica Coculla is researching the internal circadian clock of fruit flies. A recent paper published in the journal Science shows that the insects can reset their internal clock through their behaviour. With the molecular rhythm, the sleep-wake cycle returned. #Biology

PERSPECTIVE: organelle positioning as a principle of metabolic regulation and stress toleranceUnderstanding how plant cells coordinate metabolism remains a major challenge, particularly at the level of intracellular organization. This perspective proposes that dynamic organelle positioning ac...doi.orgHow plants form their stomata – and are thereby able to save water, was described in May by a team of plant scientists around Christopher Grefen and Khushbu Kumari , from @ruhr-uni-bochum.de DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koag150 news.rub.de/english/pres...
