Fun side-project: We, @TesterinkC and @ronaldpierik, have launched a website with time lapse videos of plant movements. Still work in progress. Feel free to use them for your teaching, outreach, or what more.

@AndruRomanowski @SanneMatton in our lab helped showing that nitrate modulation of shade avoidance occurs through different developmental stages and in other species, such as tomato.

Our latest preprint: postdoc Pierre Gautrat devoted his EMBO fellowship to resolving how nutrient & light cues interact to control shade avoidance. The answer is PIF-dependent regulation of cytokinin response regulators. Read all about it in this preprint. With @AndruRomanowski
