My department is seeking an Assistant Professor of Plant Systems Biology or Biotechnology. We'll start reviewing applications in about a month. Come join a fantastic group of colleagues! aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF02016

🌿 Today, we remember Salk Professor Joanne Chory, a visionary plant biologist and a force for climate action. Her research revolutionized how we understand plant biology and inspired solutions to fight climate change. Joanne’s brilliant mind and passion will forever impact the

Happy to share our new paper -- HOT3/eIF5B1 confers Kozak motif-dependent translational control of photosynthesis-associated nuclear genes for chloroplast biogenesis. Congrats to all authors, Xuemei Chen lab Meng Chen nature.com/articles/s4146…

Insightful work by Xuemei Chen lab and Runlai Hang shows the selective translation of nuclear-encoded photosynthesis genes via preferred Kozak motifs for chloroplast biogenesis -- doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

A big thank you to the amazing Wigge lab group members, past + present. Their breakthroughs continue to be cited and important to the temperature sensing community. This work is possible because of long-standing support from the European Research Council, Leibniz Assoc. and DFG.

We will miss you. watch.salk.edu/media/t/1_xd0r…

The Wall Street Journal honors Joanne Chory's lasting legacy -- "Joanne Chory (pronounced Cory), the third of six children in a family of Lebanese descent, was born on March 19, 1955, in Methuen, Mass...... The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia earlier this year awarded Chory

Excited to share our new review on plastid transcription and its regulation by anterograde signaling during chloroplast biogenesis. Congratulations to Nora Flynn Nora Flynn and Xuemei Chen lab. --doi.org/10.1007/978-3-… or plasticgenome.org/wp-content/upl…

Thrilled to announce our work in Science! 🧪 We reveal GAME15, a bifunctional protein critical for steroidal glycoalkaloid biosynthesis in plants, linking metabolism & defense. Great collaborative work! asaph aharoni SAYANTAN PANDA Science Magazine 👉 doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Happy to share the PhD work of Maolin who did a remarkable project tagging all the Arabidopsis HSFs and discovering their mode of activation by heat via prion-related domains. cell.com/molecular-plan…

We're excited to welcome plant geneticist Detlef Weigel back to Salk as a Nonresident Fellow! Weigel served on our faculty before becoming a director at the Max Planck Institute in Germany. NRFs are a group of eminent scientific advisors who guide the Institute’s leadership.

We are delighted to announce the publication of our manuscript " Temperature-driven changes in membrane fluidity differentially impact FILAMENTATION TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE H2-mediated photosystem II repair" as a Breakthrough Report in The Plant Cell.  academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

A Joanne Chory memorial symposium will take place on July 25-26 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, WI, right before the Plant Biology 2025 conference. Email [email protected] for Chory Symposium-only registration -- plantbiology.aspb.org/joanne-chory-m…

📢 Thermomorphogenesis community 📢 Excited to announce that we will have Josué Saiz-Pérez (Josué Saiz) presenting his preprint on the regulation of stomata in thermomorphogenesis. Don't miss out!

Plants encounter high temperatures during the day. We report a multisensor high-temperature signaling framework for triggering daytime thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis. Congratulations to all authors De Fan Nan Xu Xuemei Chen lab -- nature.com/articles/s4146…
