Also big congratulations to @emmanuellebayer.bsky.social for her silver medal, so well deserved! Another great year for plants 🪴

Deeply moved to receive the Médaille d’argent du CNRS. A truly special gift 💝
This recognition is above all a collective effort, with wonderful colleagues & collaborators, and an amazing team, not forgetting the daily support of admin staff, local platforms and engineers.
So thank you all 🙏

I am thrilled and beyond grateful to receive a CNRS bronze medal this year - this is an incredible honour especially for an INRAE researcher like myself! A big thanks to my amazing team and the research community @RDP for all the great science we have done together!

Preprint alert!

I am extremely happy to finally (!) share our work on the redox-dependent regulation of the CRKs in plants!

We integrated high-throughput interactomics, redox proteomics, structural modelling, and genetics to map a ROS-dependent CRK interaction landscape in Arabidopsis.

Excited to share what we learned about Katanin in maize www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪

As part of this grant I will be looking soon for a Post-doc in Oxford to model nano-morphogenesis. Please RT and contact me directly if it is a good match for you.

Our first study on how the leaf succulent Kalanchoë laxiflora makes stomatal subsidiary cells is finally peer-reviewed & out - and it made the cover! 🌵 🧬 🔬

Despite 150 years of evolution, grasses and Crassulacean succulents use the SAME gene to make subsidiary cells! 🤯

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.

Beautiful! @keikoutorii.bsky.social and co!

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)

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density. Lipid-CLEM, now out in @natcellbio.nature.com brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that:

Cell wall charge acts as a tunable electrostatic gate controlling iron availability in roots. Really nice work linking extracellular physics with nutrient homeostasis.

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.

During secondary growth, primary protective barriers break, and a new one forms beneath: the phellem.

But what triggers phellem to differentiate and become a functional barrier? Our results show it’s mechanical cues from tissue rupture 🌱

How are plasmodesmata distributed across tissues? 🌱

Davis et al. developed a 3D quantitative imaging pipeline to map pit fields at cell-type resolution in Arabidopsis roots.
They’re developmentally reallocated and spatially patterned by BR signaling.
