Congrats @lifescimunich.bsky.social PhD thesis awardees. Terrific job! @lmu.de

My lab has received an NSF CAREER Award funding for the next 5 years! Grateful to the NSF for continuing to support my lab's research and training (Award #2544620). The project asks the question: how do legumes differentiate between and select the best symbionts? Positions coming soon!

Finally out! Explore how vascular T6P modulates root growth 🌱 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

We have an open position for lab technician to support our research @uni-muenster.de : stellen.uni-muenster.de/jobposting/9... Experience in molecular biology, laboratory management, and strong communication skills are required. The position is initially offered at 50% for one year. 🌱🍅🧪

1/ Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint! "4D spatial transcriptomics reveals nodule identity emerges through stacked parallel developmental programs" 📄 doi.org/10.64898/202... Using Xenium, we generated a 4D (3D space + time) atlas of nodule development in Medicago truncatula.

How plants form their stomata – and are thereby able to save water, was described in May by a team of plant scientists around Christopher Grefen and Khushbu Kumari , from @ruhr-uni-bochum.de DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koag150 news.rub.de/english/pres...

I do not want our preprints being „ranked“ in the future by AI. We preprint to foster #openscience sharing it with our community and to make the research of early careers more visibile to help them for future positions etc. We do not need more competition bias and pressure.

1/7 New preprint: we found that Chlamydomonas carries a giant and unexpectedly elaborate chloroplast RNA polymerase with 12 previously unknown subunits, overturning the idea that the complexity of this organellar enzyme emerged during plant terrestrialization! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Always the biggest treat for the advisors: 1st author profile of the PhD students you get to work with.
