Olomouc scientists have discovered how plants regulate root hair growth: Palacký University Olomouc upol.cz/nc/en/news/new…

Light sheet fluorescence microscopy reveals that SHR and SCR coordinate root patterning and growth early in the cell cycle disq.us/t/4mb4lz4

Science wins! MEPs vote in favour of supporting greater use of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) in the EU. This is a huge step toward more sustainable agriculture. Thank you to everyone who has taken action toward this outcome. 💚🎉

Interesting new preprint: Super-resolution expansion microscopy in plant roots biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Perfect lab trip to Jeseniky.

After longer gap 2 papers accepted in 2 days.🙂🙂

Thanks to the organizers from CNRS_IBMP of the wonderful PNP2024 symposium in Strasbourg for the opportunity to have an oral presentation. Great talks, inspiring discussions...

An important paper from our lab on mitogen-activated protein kinase and oxidative stress in alfalfa just published: Overexpression of SIMK in menadione-treated alfalfa enhances antioxida... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 😀

Our new paper 😃with Sebastian Bundschuh, Pavel Tomancak and Tibor Pechan shows different response of two well-known root hair mutants to drought: Actin cytoskeleton and plasma membrane aquaporins are involved in diff... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Miroslav Ovečka will present and explain beauty of light-sheet microscopy on plants, other colleagues, e.g. @CygnusPlantXray will show advanced plant imaging with other methods. Join this on line event to see more...

Dnesne prve uzasne prekvapenie v praci - najkrajsi 3D poster mojho zivota. Srdecna vdaka celemu Samaj Lab. Mam z vas a tohto krasneho darceka velku radost. Tesim sa uz teraz na splocnu vecernu oslavu.

New decoration in my office from my friends and colleagues. It is nice to be 60 years young.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Very proud of my PhD student Dr. Jirko Sojka after excellent defense of his dissertation today.

Big congratulations to two very clever PhD students Pavol Melicher and Jiří Sojka for excellently finishing their studies 🥳🥳🥳with Tomas Takac Samaj Lab

Scientists from the Palacký University Olomouc and the USA will use genetic engineering to increase the resistance of alfalfa: Palacký University Olomouc upol.cz/nc/en/news/new…

Na zvýšení odolnosti vojtěšky vůči chladu, suchu a zasolení půdy je zaměřen nový projekt katedry biotechnologií PřF UPOL ve spolupráci s Mississippi State. Samaj Lab Univerzita Palackého #vojteska #alfalfa facebook.com/share/p/18UL4T…

Check out our latest preprint highlighting the RACK1A-dependent localization of FSD1 within stress granules. This may be the first study to demonstrate that antioxidants can be sequestered in these condensates. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
