New preprint from the lab. We mapped the dynamics of phospholipids during lateral root formation and show that PI(4,5)Pβ‚‚ plays a key role: targeted reduction in pericycle promotes LR development.

Active transport enables protein condensation in cells The force generated by active transport modulates protein condensation.

Biomolecular condensates are critical for organizing cellular contents, but most studies focus on phase separation driven by salt, pH, or temperature.
But what if intracellular movement also matters?
Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in the cell.

Two distinct oscillatory auxin signals define the plasticity of lateral rooting in Arabidopsis thaliana The phytohormone auxin defines lateral root pre-branch sites (PBS) in the growing primary root tip. How PBS contribute to the plasticity of the root system architecture remains incompletely understood...

We are excited to update you on two distinct auxin oscillations (local & systemic), revealing how root architecture adapts to fluctuating conditions!

A spatially resolved multi-omic single-cell atlas of soybean development By integrating spatial transcriptomics and single-cell genomics technologies, we constructed a comprehensive single-cell atlas of gene expression and chromatin accessibility of the crop species Glycine max (soybean).

Cool paper that came out on new year's Eve; accessible chromatin regions were uncovered at single cell level in different soybean tissue. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

The laboratory of Dr. Carolyn Rasmussen at University of California, Riverside has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar (2+ year position) to investigate the underlying mechanisms of protein-protein and protein-cytoskeleton interactions that mediate plant division plane positioning. Candidates with experience in biochemistry,  plant genetics and molecular biology are encouraged to apply. To learn more about the lab: https://rasmussenlab.weebly.com/

Specific job duties include:
- Conducting structural and functional analysis of division-site localized genes and proteins.
-  Investigating the biochemical mechanisms behind protein-microtubule interactions and protein-protein interactions
- Using cell biology techniques to identify the roles of division site localized proteins including plant transformation and phenotypic analysis.
- Participating in other related research projects. 

Required qualifications: 
- PhD in biochemistry, biology, plant biology or related fields. 
- Preferred experience and techniques in biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology.
- Excellent oral, written and interpersonal communication skills. 
- Ability to successfully work on multiple projects with a diverse group of people. 

To apply, please send your CV by email, including names and contact information for three personal references, along with a cover letter describing your research interests in a single PDF file.
