1/ ✨ New preprint alert ✨ It is my pleasure to share: "Stepwise evolution of the developmental and symbiotic functions of DELLA in land plants" Here we investigated the role of the single GRAS transcription factor DELLA in #MyMarchantia doi.org/10.64898/202... #PlantScience A thread...

CPK28 was already present in the first land plant, and presents a paradox: the Marchantia version can perfectly replace the Arabidopsis version for immunity, but does not seem to participate to immunity in Marchantia ... A lot more molecular data here => www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

1/9 Our latest paper on immunity mechanisms in Marchantia just out @pnas.org ! 🔽 Close collaboration between our former PhD students @karimaelm.bsky.social and @chloe-beaulieu.bsky.social ! and the old gard @jacquet-chris.bsky.social @maximebonhomme.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD! 🎉 We introduce a novel Aeschynomene evenia – Aphanomyces euteiches pathosystem to explore links between quantitative resistance and symbiosis in legumes. 🌱🔬 🧾 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... 🧵 Thread: 1/9

Come work with us!! 2.5 year postdoc on HGT in plants. Please share and get in touch if interested www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPQ418/r...

1/ It is my pleasure to share the latest preprint of the team: "Symbiotic diversification relies on an ancestral gene network in plants" doi.org/10.1101/2025... Here, we identified and functionally validated a novel master regulator of intracellular symbioses! A thread ... #PlantScience

Want to see ferns under attack and how they respond to pathogens? Check out our latest paper! doi.org/10.1186/s129... Congrats on this huge team effort to @baptistebio.bsky.social @madeleinebaker.bsky.social @kellerjeanphd.bsky.social @maximebonhomme.bsky.social @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social

So happy to see the latest preprint of the team out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... The continuation of a long standing project started by @oswaldovaldesl.bsky.social in @jeanmichelane.bsky.social‘s lab. 1/7 🧵

Latest #preprint from the lab @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social Please welcome Nissolia brasiliensis, the new non-nodulating model legume ☘️ developped by Camille Girou in the team! Work led by Tatiana, with input from many! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I’m very happy that my main PhD work, under the supervision of @malick-mbengue.bsky.social, found a home in @pnas.org Two days before my PhD defence! 🎉 (1/6)

Join us in Stockholm! PhD student position on Madagascar’s biome history & plant phylogenetics @deepsthlmuni.bsky.social. You will join my new evolutionary plant biogeography group. 4-year job with salary & benefits. Contact me for questions – infos & application here: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

[🚨Pre-print alert🚨] Excited to share our findings on the enigmatic ericoid mycorrhizal symbiosis. 🔴For the first time we provide evidence that ericoid mycorrhizae evolved from ancestral arbuscular mycorrhizae through the co-option nutrient-dependent regulation 👇! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🔗 Preprint alert: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 New insights into plant immunity: using ferns to understand evolution! 🌱✨🌿 Excited to share my first (but not last) published research at @lrsv-toulouse.bsky.social. A THREAD … [1/9]

Excited to share our recent work on the evolution of ectomycorrhizal plants! 🌳 🧬 🖥️ doi.org/10.1111/nph.70054 With: Yvet Boele, @puginiercamille.bsky.social, @mbianc.bsky.social, Cyril Libourel, @maximebonhomme.bsky.social, @kellerjeanphd.bsky.social, @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social A thread: (1/5)

I’m super happy to have a great part of my PhD work (under the wonderful supervision of C. Libourel @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social & @maximebonhomme.bsky.social) now out in @naturegenet.bsky.social ! Here’s a little thread (1/18) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really pleased to transition from 2024 to 2025 with Tatiana Vernie's work on the evolution of the common symbiosis pathway published @pnas.org 🔽 We finally demonstrate that ☘️ have maintained a genetic pathway to engage with🍄for half a billion years! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very happy to see this out! A big thanks to everyone involved, especially Jan Hackel, Bat Vorontsova, Toby Kellogg, Robert Soreng, Bill Baker and P-A Christin! doi.org/10.1111/nph.... +
