Our new preprint with H.Soufari and @giegep.bsky.social is out! It shows how mtIF3 recruits the initiator tRNA during a pre-initiation stage of translation in plant 🌿mitochondria. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How plant mitochondria make their own proteins 🌱🔬 A new study published in @natcomms.nature.com reveals the structure of the cauliflower mitoribosome and a unique RsgA mechanism that blocks premature translation. ▶️https://nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65864-z #PlantBiology #CryoEM #Ribosome

🎉 Congratulations to Pauline Julien (@pejullien.bsky.social), Professor at IBMP, who recently defended her HDR on epigenetic reprogramming: from reproduction to defense 🌱👏

Congratulation 🍾 to Luisa Felgines on her successful PhD defense about Pol IV-CLSY-SHH1 Docking in Small RNA Biogenesis and Transposon Silencing !

Belle matinée de partage et de découvertes avec les élèves du BTS Biotechnologies du lycée Jean-Rostand, venus pour leur désormais traditionnelle visite à l’IBMP🌱 @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @unistra.fr

On Oct 7, IBMP group leaders visited the Joseph Gottlieb Kolreuter Institute (JKIP) at @kit.edu. A great day of science, discussions, and new connections — from inspiring talks by Holger Puchta & Natalia Requena to a visit of the Karlsruhe Botanical Garden and greenhouses. 🌱

Congratulations to Jean-Michel Davière and Stefan Grob, laureates of the 2025 IDEX call from the @unistra.fr 🎉 A great recognition of their innovative projects and the excellence of research at IBMP! 🌱🔬

The final version of our work on the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain is now online in @science.org 🎉 You can find the full story here www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @verenaresch.bsky.social did a wonderful job on the cover and animation, she really brought it to life 👩‍🎨
