Job alert 📢 We are looking for a new Independent Junior Group Leader in plant molecular biology at the ZMBP in Tübingen! 🌱 Submit your application by December 8th as a single pdf Please share

I have updated the #PlantScience #StarterPack. You can now include 150 accounts, instead of the initial 50. I have tried to focus on active accounts. go.bsky.app/8Zfmwf7

To supplement this great #PlantScience #StarterPack of active individuals, I made a starter pack of journals, departments, institutes, and professional societies related to plant science. go.bsky.app/Q9QiX9C

There is also a second #PlantScience / #Botany #StarterPack put together by @botany.one: go.bsky.app/3ckM52B

Excited to see my latest project finally published! 🎉 We identified BSK proteins as regulators of IDA signaling and abscission 🍃. Our genetic work also points at a generalized mode of action for BSK1 across RLK pathways (HAE, FLS2, ERECTA, BRI1). www.cell.com/current-biol... #PlantScience
