Comparative proteomic profiling of receptor kinase signaling reveals key trafficking components enforcing plant stomatal development Proteomic mapping uncovers endocytosis adaptors that drive receptor internalization for robust stomatal development.

Published! From a proteomic atlas of the ERECTA signaling network, we show that receptor kinase endocytosis is essential for proper stomatal patterning. Congrats, Pengfei, @edwardmarcotte.bsky.social, @hhmi-science.bsky.social, @texasscience.bsky.social & co-authors!

The Czech #ERC_CZ program is the best thing the country has done for research. Czech @erc.europa.eu wannabes who did not get the EU grant receive support from the Czech ministry for 2 to 5 years (depending on the ERC grade (A/B)). It supports research that would otherwise never see the light of day.

How does a molecular biologist's dog bark? Lwoff, Lwoff.

The 7th International Symposium on Plant Apoplastic Diffusion Barriers (PADiBa2026) will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland from August 31th to September 3rd 2026. We now have a website: wp.unil.ch/padiba2026/ Registrations will open on April 1st.

We are very excited to share a new resource from our team: spatial subcellular proteome maps in plants! We developed an MS-based method that registers localizations of about 8000 proteins in Arabidopsis roots in a single experiment.
