@mbcapitao.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD today. Congratulations!

A long road to the Cover of Science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Very excited that our work on directional symplastic transport in differentiated root is now published!A developmental switch controls cell-to-cell transport in roots via pectin-linked plasmodesmata changes: Molecular Plant www.cell.com/molecular-pl...

Happy to see Kevin Robe’s work on ZIP transporters published. We found evidences that ZIP2 and ZIP8 are involved in Cu and Fe acquisition respectively and confirmed the role of ZIP3 and ZIP5 in Zn acquisition. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

🌱Congratulations to Ines Hadj Bachir for receiving an @embo.org postdoctoral fellowship! 🎉 Her project on suberin regulation will be hosted in our lab at the University of Geneva. We’re excited to support her in this next chapter!

If ChatGPT is doing this to the summer reading list, just imagine what it’s doing to the reference list for your Introduction!

Delighted to share one piece of my postdoc work in preprint: Through forward genetic screening for suberin deposition in root endodermis, we identified SUBER GENE 1 (SBG1) by GWAS as a novel regulator for suberization by interacting with Type One Protein Phosphatase. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Temperature-dependent polar lignification of a seed coat suberin layer promoting dormancy in Arabidopsis. Beautiful work from Lena Hyvärinen, Luis Lopez-Molina et al. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
