The N-degron pathways move from basic to applied science. This pathway will prove to be of key importance for agricultural improvement. Very happy to have been a part of this work led by Chen Lin and colleagues. #plantscience #nendrule #hypoxia nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Tiny shoot apical meristems demand precision and patience. During my PhD, I measured oxygen directly by inserting a 3 or 10 µm microsensor into the meristem. Very happy that this work is now published in Molecular Plant. Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...

Multifaceted roles of MTL/NLD/PLA1 in plant reproduction: In addition of inducing haploid embryos, loss of OsMTL function in rice 🌾 could lead to triploid embryo formation !! @newphyt.bsky.social ▶️ doi.org/10.1111/nph....

Annual experimental plant sciences meeting in the Netherlands. Here we go!

Today it’s @epsgraduateschool.bsky.social Annual Meeting. I am happy to present one of my favorite projects developed together with @panicuccigabriele.bsky.social, @jannehageman.bsky.social, and @daanweits.bsky.social, which has resulted in a tool for studying oxygen distribution in plant tissues.

Thanks for your hospitality @thomaswidiez.bsky.social Chatting with the excellent scientists at @rdplab.bsky.social was like a breath of fresh air!

What features are required to shape hypoxic niches enclosing meristems? We @viktoriiavoloboeva.bsky.social in collab @pieterverboven.bsky.social found that a combination of cuticle barrier, densely packed tissue and metabolic activity all uniquely contribute to maintain shoot apical meristem hypoxia

Great to see this out: Plants respond very fast (within 5-10 minutes 😱) to hypoxia and the N-degron pathway can be sufficient for this rapid induction. Congrats @mikellavi.bsky.social and team!

#JobAlert #PhD 🌱 We are offering a PhD project to explore how transcription factors have shaped the evolution of plant protective barriers. We will support suitable candidates in applying to the @unistra.fr Graduate School competition. Interested? Please get in touch for more information!

🚨 PhD Position in Plant Molecular Biology 🌱 We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join our team to study root protective barriers. If you are interested in confocal microscopy, cell wall biology, and plant development, this project might be for you! Please share! #PlantScience #PlantSciJob

We are very excited to share a new resource from our team: spatial subcellular proteome maps in plants! We developed an MS-based method that registers localizations of about 8000 proteins in Arabidopsis roots in a single experiment. (1/9) www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Great opportunity!

Awesome group, supportive supervisor and a really interesting project. What's not to like? Check out this open PhD position in @dorotakawa.bsky.social team!
