Pascal Martin follows at the #SOLRUB2025 with a presentation about endopolyploidy in #tomato fruit development. Endoduplication increases transcription. Changes in the chromatin accessibility contribute to ploidy-specific gene expression changes.

Several members of the #FDFE team participate in the #SolRub2025 meeting in Torino, Italy this week. 3 talks and 3 posters presented. Stimulating meeting gathering specialists of the Solanaceae and Rubiaceae communities.

🤓🌱 Two of our excellent PhDs, Loé and Emilia, took part in the “Tête Chercheuse” day at a secondary school in Dordogne This event, organized by @univbordeaux.bsky.social and @capsciences.bsky.social , aims to promote the role of women in science and inspire the next generation of scientists. 👏👩‍🎓👩‍🔬

Des membres de l'équipe #FDFE ont mis en place un essai 🍓 à grande échelle chez notre partenaire INVENIO pour étudier la qualité du fruit et développer des outils moléculaires d'aide à la sélection. #SelectionGenomique #SAM

Last week members of the #FDFE team participated to the workshop "Advancing Berry Breeding: From Phenotyping to Genomic Innovation" (part of EU #BreedingValue project) dedicated to berry genetic resources and their use in genomic approaches (GWAS, MAS, GS). Very fruitful discussions! 🍓🤓

📸 Here is the new group pic from the #FDFE team! Taken during our team building day 2025 @capsciences.bsky.social A great day of warmth, sharing and good vibes 🍃🤝 It strengthened team spirit and helped colleagues, new and old, get to know each other better✨ #FDFE #INRAE #Bordeaux

L'équipe #FDFE a le plaisir d'accueillir 3 nouveaux stagiaires de Master 1 ! 👨‍🔬 De gauche à droite, nous vous présentons: Ladislas Jug, Romain Burnereau et Alexandre Demars 👨‍🎓 Leurs projets s'inscrivent dans les thématiques principales de l'équipe: le développement du fruit et le devenir du méristème.

Impressive tour-de-force review article by @stephanwagner.bsky.social and Andreas Meyer @unibonn.bsky.social on the use of genetically encoded biosensors in plants! Fantastic resource, thank you so much for sharing this with the community, Stephan and Andreas!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Registration is open for JXB's 75th Anniversary Symposium 🌱 We have plenty of speaker slots for ECRs & lots of opportunity to network 🌳 There's a conference dinner at The Caves & workshops for ECRs 🌾 Sign up now to join us in Edinburgh in September, places are limited: bit.ly/JXB75 #plantscience 🧪

This week we’ve had the pleasure to host @pgpmartin.fr @inrae-bfp.bsky.social to launch our pilot CUT&RUN experiment on Medicago nodules! 🌱 Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, Pascal 👨‍🔬 and thanks @tulip-gs-labex.bsky.social for funding 🙏

Loved this article 😍 Make your own definition of success; don't let others define it for you: www.science.org/content/arti...

Workshop "Plant science in the Anthropocene" (PLANT), March 24th to April 4th 2025 @ University Paris-Saclay, deadline for applications 17th of December eng-saclay-plant-sciences.hub.inrae.fr/events/works... #plantscience

🚨 Exciting discovery ! Todd Blevins' team, in collaboration with J Law's lab, reveals how Pol IV uniquely interacts with CLSY proteins for TE silencing and genome stability in plants. Published in Nature Communications

🔬New innovation ! Discover a microfluidic platform designed for real-time imaging and quantitative analysis of nuclear dynamics in plant roots. Perfect for high-resolution microscopy studies ! ▶️https://link.springer.com/protocol/10.1007/978-1-0716-4228-3_13

Each component of the 🍅 epidermis can play a role in the structure of the cuticle. As part of the ANR #Coplanar project, transformants targeting pigments (flavonoids, carotenoids) have been generated by the #FDFE team. Now it's time for analysis! 🤓🔬🧪🧬

The 5 PhD students of the #FDFE team (Loé, Kilian, Eline, Emilia and Ulysse) attended the Doctoral Day of the School of Life Sciences in Talence . An enriching opportunity to share the latest advancements in their research and foster collaboration. Here Loé presenting her poster:

Un petit cocktail 🍸d’ADN 🧬ça vous dit ? Venez tester samedi 12 oct de 9h à 13h! Nous sommes prêts à vous accueillir lors des portes ouvertes INRAE ! #FDS2024 @INRAE_NA_BDX Infos portes ouvertes: bit.ly/4eBfhS9 Programme complet @inrae-umr-bf2i.bsky.social : bit.ly/4h1SvnN

The #FDFE team is happy to welcome (left to right): - Helene for her PhD on 🍅 nuclei - Thomas as a technician for 🍓 phenotyping - Maimouna for her PhD on 🍅 single cells - Juliette as a researcher on 🍓 genetics - Loreen as an engineer on 🍅 genomics All the best to you all! 🎉

During the #ANR project 3C-fruit growth 🍅, we study the localization of CNR (cell number regulator) proteins. Here 2 of these proteins co-localize when expressed transiently in N. benthamiana 🌱🔬. #FDFE #microscopy

Great lineup of speakers: Marie Barberon, Amélie Bernard, Franziska Lautenschläger, Sophie Martin, Moritz Nowack, Thomas Ott, René Schneider, Joris Sprakel. 8 talks will be selected on abstracts, as well as a poster session. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Lyon!

The 🍅 fruits of the West Virginia 106 cultivar are particularly well suited for endoreduplication studies due to their high synchronicity and homogeneity during cultivation. In our greenhouse in winter, it takes ~48 days to reach the red ripe stage and obtain a rather small 🍅 of ~2 cm in diameter.

We are recruiting an assistant engineer for 1 year at the Bordeaux Metabolome facility to work on the Metabohub project. Come join an interdisciplinary team to develop/implement mass spectrometry methods. If you are interested, please apply here: jobs.inrae.fr/en/ot-19330 🌾🧪
