If you ever wondered about the history and current state of plant Clathrin-mediated endocytosis....here is a review just for you! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Was really fun to write this with awesome co-authors! ⚽️🌱🔬

I am looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join my team to work on the interplay between endocytosis and autophagy. The 3-year project runs in collaboration with the Dagdas lab @plantophagy.bsky.social and can start asap. Interested candidates can apply via the link below. jobs.vib.be/apply/134365

In our new pre-print, we established massive single-cell RNA-sequencing for diatoms to investigate key cell fate transitions. Notably, we discovered that the diploid-to-haploid transition is regulated by Myb TFs, a process that is actively ongoing across the Global Ocean! 🌊

🌱Save the date! It’s time to plant the seeds of discovery at our 4th edition of #PlantResearch26. From roots to results, explore breakthroughs in genetics, sustainability, crop innovation, and future food systems. Let’s grow ideas together, in Ghent, 17-18 September: vibbio.tech/4s31Pg5 #VIBConf

Dear ENPER community, We are pleased to invite you to the next ENPER meeting, which will be held in my country Bulgaria, from 26 to 28 August 2026 in Sofia. Save the Date!🌱🌱🌱

#new_paper: A combined biochemical and computational approach provides evidence for membrane remodelling by the structural scaffold of the endocytic TPLATE complex DOI: 10.1038/s41477-025-02146-y @natplants.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 New preprint by @cate-giannini.bsky.social🚨 We uncover an unexpected link between auxin signalling, transcription, and autophagy — revealing how plants coordinate gene expression and cytoplasmic renewal to drive developmental reprogramming. 🌱✨ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Another PhD from the lab! Many congratulations, Dr. Andreas De Meyer!

Great work by julien Spielmann now published in @theplantjournal.bsky.social. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We're looking for a new PhD candidate to join the lab. Please share 🌱😄

New Online! Mechanisms of auxin action in plant growth and development

Tired of struggling with different tags to generate transgenic plants expressing your favorite protein ? Check out our latest preprint about ALFA technology and its MANY applications for plant biology. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @lrsv-toulouse.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the daughter cells actually identical? By combining live-cell imaging and scRNAseq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Read our full paper in Cell: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... @nvukas.bsky.social @trevormnolan.bsky.social

Yesterday, we celebrated the PhD of Julia Michaela Kraus. Many congratulations on a stellar performance!

This year’s edition of our internal PSB @psb-vib.bsky.social symposium #PSBmeets25 in full swing. Off to 2 days of seminars, poster sessions, discussions, and party!

Abstract submission open for #ICAR2025 Come join an outstanding selection of Plenary, Concurrent and Workshop speakers. We expect ~50 speakers selected from submitted abstracts… and of course plenty of posters! Www.icar2025.com #plantscience

On-site planning meeting for #ICAR2025, it’s shaping up nicely! Early bird deadline is only on April 20th, but as the meeting is filling up fast, and we’re expecting a full house, don’t wait too long to subscribe icar2025.com ! Looking forward to seeing you in 4 months‘ time in summerly Ghent!

We are delighted to bring #ICAR2025 to Gent in Belgium! Abstract submission OPEN! icar2025.com @aabiologists.bsky.social @moritznowack.bsky.social @hildenelissen.bsky.social @bertderybel.bsky.social @mehta-lab.com @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social @viblifesciences.bsky.social

Our Center had a good start of the NY!
