Can metabolic processes instruct cell fate decision making during embryonic development? In our new preprint, we show an important role of glycolytic activity for the development of endoderm and mesoderm through the regulation of Nodal and Wnt signalling. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Plant cells know what type to be based on signals they receive from their neighbors. But when you cut the root, cells rapidly change their identity to regenerate missing tissues, yet their neighbors persist... So how does that work?biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In the F2 a few pink Arabidopsis roses popped up that were obviously homozygous for agamous, erecta, and the RUBY transgene. To my knowledge, this type of flower is the only one in the world and came just in time for Christmas ✨

Previously on bioRxiv, now online Cell we proudly present a phosphorylation-based, deeply conserved auxin response system. Kudos to Andre Kuhn and Mark Roosjen Wageningen U&R and thanks to all authors and NWO Nieuws and European Research Council (ERC) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I could not agree more: a fantastic program about to recruit its new cohort from March 15th. → tinyurl.com/yk88kstw Pass the word!

📢📢Paper Alert! New publication out by the Hay group MPIPZ Cologne and others on seed pods of the hairy bittercress and how they power their own explosion Current Biology Congratulations! 🥳 👏 Learn more about it here 👉bit.ly/3SHpv9z #plantsci

Out now in Nature Cell Biology. We report that the plant endocytic complex, the TSET–TPLATE complex, undergoes biomolecular condensation through interactions with plasma membrane phospholipids and recruits clathrin during endocytosis. rdcu.be/dyqAO

If you like morphogenesis, quantitative imaging and non-conventional models, this is for you! Great lab.

Find out how differential growth induced tissue-wide mechanical stresses shape organ growth. Experiment & theory collaboration with Thomas Greb. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Together with green mechanobiology we seek a postdoc (<6y post-PhD) with strong track records in dev biology/biophysics, interested in biomechanics of lateral root development! 🌱 Must have graduated or worked in 🇩🇪& not currently reside in the 🇳🇱. 📧 for more details! Plz RT

🌱 New in Biophysical Journal: in coll with Karen Alim lab, we theoretically explore how auxin-mediated stress relaxation drives lateral root initiation. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.… #PlantScience #RootDevelopment #Biomechanics
