Annual experimental plant sciences meeting in the Netherlands. Here we go!
Multifaceted roles of MTL/NLD/PLA1 in plant reproduction:
In addition of inducing haploid embryos, loss of OsMTL function in rice 🌾 could lead to triploid embryo formation !!

Tiny shoot apical meristems demand precision and patience. During my PhD, I measured oxygen directly by inserting a 3 or 10 µm microsensor into the meristem.
Very happy that this work is now published in Molecular Plant.

Today it’s @epsgraduateschool.bsky.social Annual Meeting.
I am happy to present one of my favorite projects developed together with @panicuccigabriele.bsky.social, @jannehageman.bsky.social, and @daanweits.bsky.social, which has resulted in a tool for studying oxygen distribution in plant tissues.
Thanks for your hospitality @thomaswidiez.bsky.social
Chatting with the excellent scientists at @rdplab.bsky.social was like a breath of fresh air!
#JobAlert #PhD 🌱
We are offering a PhD project to explore how transcription factors have shaped the evolution of plant protective barriers.
We will support suitable candidates in applying to the @unistra.fr Graduate School competition.
Interested? Please get in touch for more information!
The N-degron pathways move from basic to applied science.
This pathway will prove to be of key importance for agricultural improvement. Very happy to have been a part of this work led by Chen Lin and colleagues. #plantscience #nendrule #hypoxia

Great to see this out: Plants respond very fast (within 5-10 minutes 😱) to hypoxia and the N-degron pathway can be sufficient for this rapid induction.
Congrats @mikellavi.bsky.social and team!
What features are required to shape hypoxic niches enclosing meristems? We @viktoriiavoloboeva.bsky.social in collab @pieterverboven.bsky.social found that a combination of cuticle barrier, densely packed tissue and metabolic activity all uniquely contribute to maintain shoot apical meristem hypoxia
Great discussions today with @daanweits.bsky.social who visited our @rdplab.bsky.social in Lyon, France.
Plenty of fresh ideas on plant oxygen sensing, the room definitely had good O₂ levels! 🌱🫧
Finally officially out!!

We moved the main oxygen sensing machinery from plants to yeast and we learned a few things!
Plants face hypoxic conditions either chronically, as particular tissues are characterized
by fluctuating or stable low oxygen levels, or acutely, ...
