Not all bacteria are beneficial in every context.

We found that enriching Drosophila with a commensal bacterium reduces tolerance to viral infection. The effect was virus-specific and occurred without changes in viral load, immune gene expression or intestinal damage.

Stem cell regulators drive a G1 duration gradient during plant root development - Nature Plants A positional and developmentally regulated cell cycle duration gradient exists in the root meristem whereby the G1 phase is very long close to the stem cell niche. This relies on the interplay of PLET...

Did you know that there is a cell cycle duration gradient in plant root meristem? New story by joining forces between Plant dynamics lab and Crisanto Gutiérrez & Bénédicte Desvoyes lab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social #Plants #roots #cellcycle www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Call for a tenure-track position at our Department of Plant Molecular Biology in Lausanne! We are searching for promising early-career researchers in the broad field of plant-organismal interactions. Deadline: November 30, 2025 - Please re-post!

Cool work, cooler FISHes, sad no bryophytes involved...

New preprint! 🐛 Root-knot nematodes hijack root cells, turning them into feeding sites and making plants very sick. Using a cross-species scRNA-seq approach we mapped this process and show how this knowledge can be used to engineer resistant crops.🌱 A summary🧵 :

Recently, both our team and the Richardson/Estelle/Strader teams showed that ARF transcription factors are actively degraded. In this new preprint, Martijn de Roij explores the requirements and relevance of ARF degradation (1/7)

My department is hiring a Plant-Fungal Assist Prof!! As the newest #NewPI here, don't get me started on how wonderful my colleagues, how smooth my onboarding has been, how supportive the school and the department are, how nice my brand new lab is, and how convenient living in Champaign Urbana is!

#SciCom opportunity!

I partly agree. The historical problem (not only in plants) is taking a single species as paradigm. We now have an unrealistic view of what TFs/regulators do. IMO we can keep being regulator-centric if the research question is properly established and accept there are species-specific 'situations'.

There is a nice News & Views article by @suruchiroy.bsky.social and others regarding our recent Nature Plants paper (@mestelle.bsky.social, @drannisr.bsky.social, and @luciastrader.bsky.social labs) and another from @dolfweijers.bsky.social 's lab. #PlantScience #Auxin rdcu.be/eAEnz

Auxin does everything, but how? The story just got more complicated by the discovery of a B class ARF degron providing a means of protein (in)stability regulation. @mjprigge.bsky.social @dolfweijers.bsky.social @jorgehg.bsky.social
