Great work Yasin! Good to see that possible therapeutic approaches can come from unexpected sources

Autophagy restricts symbiosis-associated cell death and regulates colonization by Serendipita indica in Arabidopsis Autophagy acts as a pro-survival mechanism in plant roots during beneficial fungal colonization by restricting fungal proliferation and immunometabolic cel

My former colleague Patricia Zecua, me and the Zuccaro group published a new story about how autophagy restricts cell death and regulates root colonization by beneficial fungi:

I had the pleasure of joining the Branch Out! Career Day 2025 as a panelist at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne. I shared my journey building a dual career — as a science communicator and founder.

And yes — I wore my own Parafilm T-shirt design 😆

We wrote this short review paper highlighting our current understanding of some biogenic retrograde signals focusing on those derived from cis-carotenoids. Deciphering #plastid #retrogradesignals and their roles in plant development

Happy to participate in the CEPLAS ECR Symposium 2025. Great science and great location! @ceplas.bsky.social

Congratulations to Saigincito and the whole team!

Hey all!
We have been awarded a Spanish national grant to keep researching. Best of all is we have a full PhD contract assigned. We are looking for candidates interested in molecular biology and evolution of (plant) transcription factors, please spread the word!!
Check our web for more information.

I'm fascinated by the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana! 🌱 I created these illustrations as a tribute to this tiny but mighty organism that has taught us so much about plant biology

If you have ever worked in a lab, you are likely familiar with Parafilm. It is one of the most popular lab products without any marketing campaign to position it. This watercolor is a tribute to Parafilm. I ❤️ Parafilm
