ComEC structure is out!! 😍
Congratulations to the authors! That’s not an easy one. We have been trying for years to get that structure…
We failed and gave up.
André Le Bivic, director of @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social, went to Nagoya & Gifu, Japan, for the inauguration of the international laboratory GlycoMIRAI dedicated to glycoscience between CNRS & @en.nagoya-u.ac.jp in close collaboration with Gifu University.

The graphic is a job advertisement for postdoctoral researcher positions in the Topp lab. It features a faded background image of a plant root on top of a ruler next to a probe with the Plant Resilience Institute logo in the top left corner. In the middle of the graphic is a green gradient arrow with the following text: “Now Hiring: Topp Lab Postdoctoral Researchers." In the bottom right corner, there is the MSU PRI logo and the text: “Apply online at careers.msu.edu.”
The Topp lab is recruiting multiple postdoctoral researchers across complementary areas of root biology, phenomics, and translational crop science! Learn more about the postdoc opportunities and apply now: plantresilience.msu.edu/team/join.as... #PlantScience #PlantSciJobs

Alvarez studies to understand how plants face abiotic stresses to help us to face climate change. #WeAreASPB doi.org/10.1093/plph...
This is real and important work…
but also “Harvard postdoc in plant humanities at Dumbarton Oaks” sounds like something conservatives would make up as a reason to defund the humanities.

What can we learn from the first GWAS on bryophyte immunity? Have these plants evolved immune mechanisms similar to or different from those of angiosperms? (Spoiler: both!)
