Thanks to the EVO Fruland project @EVOfruland_RISE and thanks to @DiBio_UniPD @UniPadova @UniPD_Research and @ortobotanicopd

Thanks to all the authors: @silvia_moschin , @Sebastiano_N Elisabetta Offer and @BarbaraBaldan1 from @DiBio_UniPD @ortobotanicopd , Nicola Babolin from @LaStatale and Leonardo Bruno and Adriana Chiappetta from @UniCalPortale

𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑎 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑎 belongs to Nymphaeales, one of the three early diverged lineages of angiosperms. Looking at these flowers is very important for evo-devo studies!!

New paper from our lab!!! link.springer.com/article/10… Look how tiny these little Trithuria flowers are and what a curious arrangement of its flower organs! We studied its MADS-box floral development genes and mapped where they are expressed!

@CeciZumajo and @Sebastiano_N from @DiBio_UniPD @UniPadova @UniPD_Research presented their research at @UdeA in the context of @EVOfruland_RISE great opportunity to share and discuss ideas about future perspectives on plant evolution with @NataliaPabonMo1 colleagues and students

Cecilia Zumajo @CeciZumajo e Sebastiano Nigris @Sebastiano_N of the @DiBio_UniPD and @ortobotanicopd @UniPadova @UniPD_Research are attending the II symposium on Colombian ferns (helechos de Colombia) at the Botanical Garden of Medellin @jbotanicomed

First day of fieldwork for @Sebastiano_N and @CeciZumajo of @DiBio_UniPD and @ortobotanicopd together with @NataliaPabonMo1 in a paramo in Cundinamarca, Colombia, in the context of @EVOfruland_RISE project. This environment offers an amazing biodiversity of unique plants!

We want also to acknowledge the funding agencies that support our research and participation @DiBio_UniPD @ortobotanicopd @UniPadova STARS@UNIPD UNIPhD UNIMPRESA @UniPD_Research @EVOfruland_RISE @MSCActions

@plantbotsci @YasamanRanj @the_kunsze @yesmadrigal @antonelli_lab And many other people that made this experience unforgettable!! #IBC2024 @ibc2024

We thank all the friends that shared with us this amazing experience: @PlantEG_unipd @PlantEvoDevo @VSondervan @NataliaPabonMo1 @UCDflowerpower @vdistilio @javierfaguilar1 @Lepidodendron @tank_silvia @aubombarely @annette_jlu @rafadscruz @ange_cibrian @pedoconnective @soltislab

It has been an exciting and intense week, full of amazing talks on the best research in botany! a great opportunity to interact and discuss with many botanists, students and eminent scientists. We take home a lot of new ideas, new questions to address and a lot of new friends! 🌱

4. Sebastiano Nigris talked about how compost can shape plant microbiotas giving the talk“The use of compost improves biodiversity in the bacterial community of the rhizosphere of tomato plants” (Nº613/1464) in the symposium BENEFICIAL PLANT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS @Sebastiano_N

3. Giulia Ghirardello presented her work about plant-microbe interactions with a talk entitled “ Molecular mechanisms involved in rhizobacteria-plant interaction in Solanum lycopersicum” (Nº613/897 ) in the symposium BENEFICIAL PLANT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS 🌱🦠🧫

2. Cecilia Zumajo Cardona presented her work on Gnetales with a presentation entitled “Untangling the developmental genomics of the unique reproductive structures in Gnetales” (Nº613/530) in the Evo-Devo symposium @CeciZumajo 🌱🌳🌿
