Ad banner: germinating plant, Utrecht University, VACANCY: Postdoc position in Experimental & Computational Plant Biology
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)
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.
thank you!
thanks, Kalika!
It is likely Col-0 and kanR...
Don't worry, Steffen, this is a transient paper burst - I'll soon return to my familiar, sluggish publishing style.
Many thanks to the colleagues who contributed along the way, and biggest thanks to Tiina for her incredible persistence throughout the process! 7/7
This work builds on our previous study showing that cytokinin accumulation and four downstream LBDs activate the root cambium: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 6/x
This project was a long journey (we have microarray data in this m/s 😄). We initially tried to genetically dissect auxin and cytokinin signalling, but it gradually became clear that these pathways are interconnected at many levels, making clean genetic separation… challenging, to put it mildly. 5/x
After the first stem cell division, however, their domains separate: auxin signalling becomes restricted to the inner organizer cell/xylem domain, while cytokinin signalling remains in the outer daughter/stem cell domain. 4/x
Interestingly, auxin and cytokinin signalling transiently overlap during the activation of procambial cells and act additively to promote secondary development. 3/x
We found that cytokinin upregulates both auxin and TDIF-PXY signalling, while proper auxin signalling is required for a sufficient cytokinin response. Together, this creates a complex and tightly interconnected signalling network that activates the cambium. 2/x
After a long journey, our new paper is out! 🌱
In this study, Tiina and colleagues show that cambium activation in the Arabidopsis root is triggered by the induction of auxin, cytokinin, and TDIF peptide signalling. 🧵1/x doi.org/10.1093/plce...
Our Review "Development, Anatomy and Integrated Function of Grass Leaf Veins and Graminoid Stomata" is out doi.org/10.1146/annu...
Alec Baird and I discuss the development and function of the anatomical structures that regulate water supply (leaf veins) and water demand (stomata) in the grass leaf.
Latest from our lab! Detailed and committed work by Jennifer combined with Hiro's special skills👌. Wonderful collaboration with @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab (Damien and Etienne) and @jalonsos.bsky.social 👇

🚨 PhD Position in Plant Molecular Biology 🌱
We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join our team to study root protective barriers. If you are interested in confocal microscopy, cell wall biology, and plant development, this project might be for you! Please share!
#PlantScience #PlantSciJob
Exciting and thought-provoking talk by Yasin Dagdas in our HiLIFE Monday seminars #viikkimon
Very happy about this nice piece of work by @eugeniapitsili.bsky.social on developmentally controlled cell death in plants @dev-journal.bsky.social !
Special thanks also to @ingridtsang.bsky.social for a terrific editorial job bringing out the best of this manuscript!!

Wise words from Miltos "Be intellectually humble — if you are studying an interesting question, remember that the question is bigger than one’s intellect. Put your ego aside so you can learn from others, read a lot and respect your co-workers and colleagues at all levels."🙏
Q&A with Miltos Tsiantis, who studies plant development and is a Director at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne. www.cell.com/current-biol...
Really happy to see this one out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Alibek's drive & great coll w/ friends @gekaragoz.bsky.social & E. Hallacli resulted in a cool story that starts with our beloved #Marchantia and ends with iPSC-derived neurons 🤩🤪 A short 🧵
CEPLAS starts a number of new projects, and we are looking for 12 Postdocs ❗
CEPLAS projects are always highly collaborative, that means postdocs working with us will always closely interact with several CEPLAS research groups. Find all postdoc openings here: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...
