🧬 REVIEW 🧬 Plants have low methionine levels. Elevated methionine impacts metabolism, stress responses and epigenetic regulation. Understanding the regulation of methionine content may guide safe nutritional biofortification strategies- Amir et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
🌱💧 RESEARCH 💧🌱 Moderate water deficit amplifies molecular responses to sulfur deficiency in Pisum sativum, revealing synergistic responses at multiple layers of regulation under this stress combination - Bonnot et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
We're at #NewScientistLive - use a scanning electron microscope, see like a bee, dive into computational modelling and chat to our scientists. #PlantScience #NSL2026

🥣 Happy #WorldPorridgeDay! There's a good chance the oats in your breakfast came from a variety bred at IBERS, Aberystwyth University 🌾 Our breeding programme has developed varieties that now account for over 95% of the UK's winter oat crop. https://ow.ly/bMJh50ZV0mG #Oats #PlantScience #IBERS
In Mediterranean ecosystems, fire-sensitive species live in rocky areas, not because they prefer them, but because they are fire refugia. Yet, sometimes fire is intense enough to get there, reducing the population size Juniperus phoenicea, E Spain #IFSegorbe 🧪🌍🔥🪴🌱🍁🌳🪴 #plantsci wildfire

This #FreeAccess commentary explores new findings that CHILLING PHOENIX acts as a transcriptional hub rewiring #rice metabolism from cold defense to nitrogen-driven regrowth, potentially uncoupling #stress survival from yield penalty. doi.org/10.1111/jipb... @wileylifesci.bsky.social #PlantSci
🌱 Last week, C-SPIRIT welcomed NSF representatives to MSU for our Global Centers Site Visit! Through research presentations, posters, and discussions, our team highlighted progress and international collaborations advancing plant resilience. 🔬 #plantscience
