I am excited to announce that we have two open positions on our recently funded MYBstery M-WEAVE (NWO-DFG) project!
1) Postdoc in my team at Utrecht University (NL). www.uu.nl/en/organisat...
2) PhD in the team of @lauraragni.bsky.social at University of Freiburg (DE). (See thread)
How are we to argue with the likes of @PlantEvolution? 🌱
“Fantastic and important study” — we’ll happily take that 😊
The formatted PDF of our paper is now online! academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...
@utrechtpmi.bsky.social VICI! The Plant-Microbe Interactions group will hug this guy to pieces! Roeland Berendsen received a prestigious VICI grant from NWO (Dutch Research Council). Congrats Roeland! Looking forward to some very nice #NPEC experiments!

Thanks for your hospitality @thomaswidiez.bsky.social
Chatting with the excellent scientists at @rdplab.bsky.social was like a breath of fresh air!
What features are required to shape hypoxic niches enclosing meristems? We @viktoriiavoloboeva.bsky.social in collab @pieterverboven.bsky.social found that a combination of cuticle barrier, densely packed tissue and metabolic activity all uniquely contribute to maintain shoot apical meristem hypoxia
We reviewed one of our favorite proteins Phytoglobin1 and its crucial role in hypoxia acclimation and development for the @isplore.bsky.social special issue in @jxbotany.bsky.social @uuplants.bsky.social check it out!
Excited to thank @biologists.bsky.social @plantphys.bsky.social and @novogene-europe.bsky.social for sponsoring our summer school on Environmental Signaling in Plants!
