Today, a decision to increase ERC support for researchers moving to Europe was adopted. On top of normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories/research teams in Europe. This extra is now x2 (up to €2 million!) europa.eu/!6Vdgmp

Congratulations and thanks to Michael Paries, all lab co-authors and our fantastic collaborators Nitzan Shabek, Angelica Guercio. We report smex-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/… that the GRAS TF RAM1 interacts with WRI TFs to regulate genes essential for nutrient exchange in arbuscular mycorrhiza.

🌿🌱We are thrilled to share that Prof. Miltos Tsiantis MPIPZ Cologne has been elected as Fellow of the The Royal Society in recognition to his work on plant organ development. 👏👏Huge congratulations! 🥳🎉 👉mpipz.mpg.de/5687512/tsiant… royalsociety.org/news/2025/05/n…

We are proud to continue our journey of scientific excellence with CEPLAS! Thank you to everyone who was involved in the preparation and evaluation.

🌱 New in PNAS! A single receptor, LalbCCR1, controls both nodulation & cluster root development in white lupin via the NIN/LBD16–NFYA module. A unified systemic signaling mechanism: AoDev. 🔗 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #PlantScience #PNAS

Postdoc call in Mechanistic Biodiversity Modelling (up to 6 ya) at my lab Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. We focus on modelling terrestrial plant communities, island biogeography, range dynamics, eco-evolutionary feedbacks, tropical forests, vascular epiphytes. Pls rt! shorturl.at/CL1ny
