A PhD position is available in my group @_SLU. Come join us in Uppsala, Sweden to work on plant regeneration and graft hybrid formation! Details below. Please share! #plantscijobs #PlantScience

Postdoctoral Researcher (Faulkner Group) | John Innes Centre An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Faulkner Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Cell & Developmental Biology.

We're looking for a postdoc to join the lab to work on cell-to-cell communication via the apoplast. Candidate must be brave, as they will have to lead us (me) away from the plasmodesmata-lands we've inhabited for so long!

The cover image features a confocal micrograph of BODIPY-stained lipid droplets (LDs) in a castor seed (Ricinus communis), the source of valuable castor oil. Lipid droplets (LDs) are evolutionarily conserved cell organelles that store neutral lipids in the aqueous cell environment and are involved in numerous physiological processes during plant development and adaptation to environmental stresses. Cai and Horn (https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiae533) reviewed critical advances in identifying plant LD proteins, highlighted the structural features of key LD proteins that contribute to their localization and conserved (or divergent) functions across organisms, and discussed future perspectives on bridging our knowledge gaps in plant LD biology.
