We are launching Boum, a @uniofbern spin-off that combines innovations in biology and technology to make plant cultivation in urban areas more effective and efficient. We need to make our cities green, and Boum will facilitate this important transition. Exciting times ahead.

Congratulations to all!

Professorship (W3) in Evolution of Plant Biotic Interactions @WWU_Muenster. Apply to join our faculty until 30th of September! Please RT. uni-muenster.de/Rektorat/Stell…

Go lean for discovery and wide for translation.

Happy to shared our review about plant volatile perception fresh in the Essays in Biochemistry Portland Press doi.org/10.1042/EBC202… In this review, Matthias Matthias Erb and I summarize the latest research about what defines a plant's nose 1/5

Plants that are exposed to light cues from neighbors respond more strongly to stress volatiles- and then release more volatiles themselves. A booster for plant-plant interactions! Cool discovery by @RocioEscobarBr1 et al., funded by the Velux Stiftung. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Among the academic institutions that are showing presence on #Mastodon #MastodonScience, @[email protected] is one of the first here! From what I learned these two last days, there are many good reasons to be in this space! Follow us!

It's a proof-of-concept in one field, but does feel important. If we let plants pump benzoxazinoids into the soil, the next crop gains 4% in yield, without additional inputs. Now, if such effects compound, and if we can learn to engineer them...

If you are on mastodon and feel that we should connect, you can do so via mastodon.green/@matthias_erb .👋

Regular reminder that abundance ≠ importance in chemical ecology.

The new issue of CHIMIA , published by Swiss Chemical Society, covers advances in #Chemicalecology with 8 beautiful reviews. All open access. Happy reading! chimia.ch/chimia/issue/v…

Old leaves are good at releasing stress volatiles, young leaves are good at perceiving them. A noteworthy pattern of within-plant volatile signaling. Study led by Lei, now out in Current Biology.

We have a PhD position open in plant volatile interactions. Interdisciplinary project, from molecules to biological interactions. Position is open until filled. Thanks for spreading the word. ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jobs…

We have an open Post Doc position in plant-volatile interactions. Ideal if you love to use molecular tools to understand the natural world and improve agriculture. Excellent PhD in a relevant field is needed. Interested? Send your CV, grades, letter and refs to [email protected]
