ASPB announces Anna Amtmann (University of Glasgow) as the next Editor-in-Chief of Plant Physiology, succeeding Yunde Zhao. Anna brings a strong vision for scientific rigor, inclusive publishing, and innovation in scholarly communication. bit.ly/4sQzpGY

Congratulations Jake @mediocre-jake.bsky.social, Bekky Feltham and team on their phenomenal effort in putting together the E3-ome, published in Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex.... An extremely valuable resource for ubiquitin researchers.

New Article: "Rice false smut fungus hijacks rice lipid signalling to manipulate floret development and immunity" rdcu.be/e9Dlf Fungus disrupts floret development and suppresses immunity by secreting the effector Sxp1, which targets a lipid transfer protein. #PlantScience

New OA Article: "Stress drives plasticity in leaf ageing transcriptional dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana" rdcu.be/e80cP Single-nuclei atlas. Drought advances leaf maturation in a dose-dependent manner. Mesophyll-specific FRO6 overexpression partially restores growth.

Be intellectually humble — if you are studying an interesting question, remember that the question is bigger than one’s intellect.

My review “Co-translational control of protein stability and quality in plants” is now online at @jxbotany.bsky.social, in which I describe how co-translational processing and ribosome-associated quality control together establish protein stability and fate early in synthesis. tinyurl.com/5dhhz9h6

🚨 Positions available in Plant Science! Please share. We’re hiring: 1. Postdoc 2.PhD (UK applicants only) Focus: root oxygen dynamics, developmental signalling. Come help us uncover how O2 shapes root development. More info here- sites.google.com/view/root-re... #plantscijobs #plantscience

Are authors fairly judged by assessing the #journals in which their work is published? @bihutchins.bsky.social &co reveal that most influential papers are published in lower tier journals, and more authors would be better recognized with #ArticleLevelMetrics #ALMs @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oV58Ed

Folks, our research group is looking for a new recruit. A research technician position is available (48 month contract). Please repost. durham.taleo.net/careersectio...

Single-cell RNA-sequencing based on combinatorial barcoding is pricey and lacks sensitivity. USPPAR is a novel #scRNAseq approach that combines split-pool #barcoding & optimized polydeoxyadenylation, outperforming existing methods without specialized equipment @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3XUsleH
