💐Not all flowers are pleasant to the nose. The infamous titan arum heats up during flowering to produce a pungent blend of volatiles.
🧬What genes drive this process?

Biology of bridge-like lipid transfer proteins continues to be uncovered at a rather brisk pace. These things are important... Cool paper, congratulations!
Exciting news from the lab of my colleague Alberto Carbonell @ibmcp.bsky.social
Meet syn-tasiR-VIGS: a new method using friendly viruses to deliver small RNA for precise RNAi in transgene-free plants 🌿✨

🎉It took me some days to process the news.. Super grateful to announce that I have been selected for a MSCA postdoc. This summer I start working on plant stress and the roles of organelles in UB in Barcelona with Sergi Munné-Bosch! Super excited! @ub.edu @ec.europa.eu
It has been 5 years since I last crossed Arabidopsis. Honestly, even if it relaxes me the first few plants, I haven’t missed it all that much 😅
🙌AI keeps pushing plant science forward, but what about the study of plant hormones? 🌱🤔 interested in some perspectives and ideas?

Thrilled to share our latest work showing that the bridge lipid transport protein ATG2A transfers diacylglycerol (DAG), and some TAG/PA, from the ER to LDs, thereby recruiting DGAT2 to drive local TAG synthesis, promoting LD expansion while protecting ER membranes.

While flowers are typically associated with pleasant fragrances, every few years a certain part of the rainforests of Sumatra is filled with the pungent odor of rotting flesh. This smell emanates…
Elhan et al. show that ATG2A acts with DGAT2, the enzyme producing triacylglycerol (TAG), in lipid droplet growth. By delivering diacylglycerol to lipid droplets, ATG2A not only fuels TAG production b...
