Looking forward to be there !

I have a great idea for a post-doctoral project on earwig population genetics/genomics. If anyone with these skills and an interest in earwigs is considering applying for an MSCA fellowship (in my group), please get in touch!

By optimizing tissue permeability, we have developed an enhanced method for whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization, enabling cell segmentation. With this method, we demonstrate that multiple ways lead to shoot meristems during root conversion.#ijpb biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am delighted to share this new paper with you. In this issue of the Annual Review of Entomology you'll find all you need to know about the "Biology and Social Life of #Earwigs"... and its #openaccess annualreviews.org/eprint/PZRMB4P…

The 2nd edition of the xylem book (already in paper and with all editorial corrections on it) is finally a reality. Thanks to all contributors. It’s been a pleasure to work with you all!

Scientists from CNB in Madrid say yes! to #NGT #CRISPR !

VACANCY REMINDER - Submit before 1 March 2024 - Together with the Inge De Clercq lab we have a funded position for a postdoctoral researcher to work on nature's genetic engineer, Agrobacterium tumefaciens. More info: lnkd.in/euQTDUNN

#Plants 🌱💦 | Almost one-quarter of all irrigated farmlands are affected by salination. Therefore, WUR researchers have discovered a local regulator protein that allows plants to develop in such stressful situations. Do you want to know more? ➡️ bit.ly/3IgZnxy

The final version of the ggPlantmap is out at JXB academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar… Come for the information, stay for the beautiful figures! We hope it can encourage people to create their own eFP-viewer!

Join the online PlantGENE workshop on how to start with gene editing in crops this Wednesday!

Wondering if there were more people listening to Taylor Swift’s concert outside the stadium than in it ? 🤔

En España, se calcula que en los últimos 20 años hemos perdido casi 7 millones de gorriones. No podemos permitirlo, firma la petición de SEO/BirdLife para protegerlos bit.ly/3UxiGsb

I am happy to share the last chapter of my PhD thesis with you through this beautiful publication in New Phytologist 🌱 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

📢#plantscijob alert!🧐 We have one PhD (Prof. Leónie Bentsink group) and one Postdoc position (mariana-artur.com group) open to work on mechanosensing in seeds as part of the GreenTE consortium (green-te.nl). 🔬🌱💧🥼🧪 Please share! Links for application below👇🏾

Are you interested in Plant Development? Our group at Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CSIC) is looking for a motivated student to carry out a PhD project investigating the molecular mechanisms controlling plant shoot branching, a process with great agricultural impact. Write to me or to Michael Nicolas

Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share this work from my postdoc time with Christine Beveridge and new data from HHU and CEPLAS We show that trehalose 6-phosphate is downstream of strigolactones but independent of the known BRC1 pathway. please check it out nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/VPVJIGCW… #T6P #Tre6P

Our small contribution to celebrate the Nobel prize for microRNAs. 🎉🍾🎊.

✨ The less fertilizer, the better ✨   🌍 Is it possible to cultivate potatoes with less fertilizer? Reducing environmental impact while feeding millions? 🥔 Our research published today in New Phytologist, led by Salomé Prat and Maroof Shaikh, is turning this into reality! 🧵
