Petit livre et texte important. Merci @thomashochmann.bsky.social pour cet éclaircissement

Happy to share our newest paper fresh from the press. Have a look, how cells prepare to host symbiotic infections. We really appreciate the reviewers comments. Enjoy the microscopy and other experiments by the lead PostDoc Morgane Batzenschlager & collaborators. elifesciences.org/articles/88588

As promised, @eveteyssier.bsky.social PhD defense starting now! If you want to learn about her work, just check her last post! Go go go Eve!

We have a new PhD in town. Congrat Dr. @eveteyssier.bsky.social. A great talk and a great discussion made a proud supervisor :) Good luck with your future projects!

The timing could not have been better. Congrats Eve!! Another great soon-to-be PhD (H-24) from the @lrsv-toulouse.bsky.social

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)

Without irony, I’d like to thank Reviewer 2 for the support.

Indeed, a very efficient way to stack up editings in Marchantia!

🔗 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]

Endophytic #bacteria discovered in oil body organelles of the #liverworts Marchantia polymorpha & Radula complanata New #AJB research by Blair Young, Barbara Thiers, James White, & Lena Struwe bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #botany #plantscience

Picked up first on BioRXiv. Nice to see this LysM-RLK story published @newphyt.bsky.social ! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

PhD day. Where is the speaker ?!? @lrsv-toulouse.bsky.social

Very glad to see #HéloïseDemont PhD work online in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! @lipme-toulouse.bsky.social #REACHteam Downstream signaling induced by several plant Toll/interleukin-1 receptor-containing immune proteins is stable at elevated temperature: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

E pur si muove...

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...

1/6 Super excited to share with you our work on Marchantia intra-specific diversity and pan-genomics, just out @naturegenet.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... Everything on the discoveries in the thread by @chloe-beaulieu.bsky.social I want to emphasize 5 additional points:

Excited to share our new publication on a novel MAMP peptide conserved across nematodes, insects, and fungal pathogens, along with the RLK essential for its signaling. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on? direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... A 🧵 1/n #AcademicSky #PhDchat #ScientificPublishing #SciPub

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/...

A fan of #Bryophytes? You are (almost) not alone! #Bryophytes rule...they can grow almost anywhere, host a fascinating world of #microbes (incl. #nitrogen-fixing #Cyanobacteria), are key in #biogeochemistry, and hold huge potential for #biotechnology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Arabidopsis WALL-ASSOCIATED KINASES are not required for oligogalacturonide-induced signaling and immunity

A immense Thank You! @plantteaching.bsky.social for the available slides on nodulation. Saved the day for an overview on the topic I could not manage myself on time :)

Have had some good chats recently about pivoting to non-profit and society journals. A point to share/underline is that such options exist across the "prestige" spectrum. Some examples in the image. All heavily subjective of course; would love to hear thoughts from others!

Delighted to present an updated version of our LysM-RLK/AM symbiosis story in Marchantia! @lrsv-toulouse.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
