We have two open Post-Doc positions in my group at the interface with: 1- @ataly.bsky.social for molecular dynamics 2- Bruno Guillotin from protein mobility Apply by sending CV, two ref letters and a short motivation letter to me : [email protected]. Deadline 15 sept.

This is a fantastic talk by Chris Hawes @nhm-london.bsky.social. He speaks about #PlantMicroscopy in particular, but also the History of #Microscopy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAFZ... Have a look at this Obituary of Chris, too: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PlantScience

One of the key aspects influencing morphogenesis is mechanics. We mapped the mechanical properties of living roots at the tissue and cellular levels using Brillouin microscopy and molecular rotors. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Evolutionarily diverse caveolins share a common structural framework built around amphipathic discs, say Bing Han, Sarah Connolly, Melanie Ohi (@umich.edu), Anne Kenworthy (University of Virginia) and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/... #StructuralBiology #Membrane #lipid

I set out to review the evolution of eukaryotic intracellular traffic, but along the way a new hypothesis came into focus: maybe the earliest membrane carriers were tubules, not coated vesicles! New preprint: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... Here’s the idea. 🧵

Very proud to share our latest preprint: postdoc/LRSF fellow Yue Rui studies the mechanisms regulating attachment of the cell wall to the plasma membrane. The Cellulose Synthase Complex and REMORINs determine the extent of attachment and root osmotic stress tolerance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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...

Super interesting work on hydrotropism and gravitropism www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Out First Release in @science.org today, nice work finding that redox regulates multimerisation of Aux/IAA proteins during root xerobranching: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher! Join the Ma Lab in exploring the the intricate interplay between plant development and defense signaling. Link below. #jobs #research #plantbiology #vienna

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...

MTMR regulates KRAS function by controlling plasma membrane levels of phospholipids, say Taylor Lange, Kwang-jin Cho @wrightstateu.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Cancer #Membrane #lipid #CellSignaling #Biochemistry

We are excited to update you on two distinct auxin oscillations (local & systemic), revealing how root architecture adapts to fluctuating conditions! @cibss.bsky.social @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Rho of Plant are signalling HUB and GEF behave as signal specific switches. We found that GEF14 specicaly activates ROP6 during osmotic signal. by 2 excellent young researcher L.Gorgues and M.Smokvarska One more great collaboration with @yvonjaillais.bsky.social www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Great theory paper by @hadrienoliveri.bsky.social & I. Cheddadi: a Hydromechanical field theory of plant growth treating tissue as a growing poroelastic medium. It's a nice bridge from cell biophysics to tissue-scale growth. arxiv.org/abs/2409.02775 & tinyurl.com/22n9ykdo

🌱 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
