The Marchantia promoter project is now published! 🥂Many thanks to the reviewers and editors. New peer-reviewed version with some improvements. Two spin-off pre-prints are coming soon too. academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

I've got a postdoc position open in my lab. Do you work on moss, single cell transcriptomics or plant developmental genomics? Consider applying for this position - more here: recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06360

ENHANCER OF SHOOT REGENERATION1 promotes de novo root organogenesis after wounding in Arabidopsis leaf explants (Kyounghee Lee, Hobin Yoon, Ok-Sun Park, Pil Joon Seo) buff.ly/3v8rlbN ASPB #PlantSci

New Article: "RALF22 has a structural and signalling role in root hair cell wall assembly" rdcu.be/dAN5D RALF22: structural component organizing cell wall architecture + feedback signalling molecule that regulates this process depending on its interaction partners.

Two talented postdocs in my team compiled all current knowledge on cell cycle checkpoint control in response to DNA breaks across plant species in a very accessible format. I'm very proud of their achievement. nature.com/articles/s4147…

My lab has an open ERC-funded postdoc position to work on plant hormones and microbiome assembly in an evolutionary context (hint: Marchantia). Apply here if you are interested. kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…. Barbara De Coninck 🌱🌈 KU Leuven European Research Council (ERC) KU Leuven Plant Institute
