🌱🌾🌍🌺🍄🧪🌳🐝 Where to study degrees focusing on plants in UK and Ireland? Teams in #BUC2026 made single image of BSc/Masters/PhD opportunities at their 32 institutions. Great to get so much information about plant degrees together. (Also plants at some other places without a team this year!)

ONE WEEK to the deadline! #PlantSciJobs #phd #plantsciphd email me jo.a.hepworth@durham.ac.uk for more information (I'm friendly and keen to meet you!) and tips on application documents. www.needl.org.uk

Postdoctoral researcher in wood formation | slu.se SLU - Science and Education for Sustainable Life

I’ve opened my own research group at the #Umeå Plant Science Center,
and get to dig into the cell #biology of #wood formation to my heart’s content.

I can’t do it alone though, so I’m looking for postdocs!

If you know anyone in #plantscience that might be interested, send them my way:

Please share!
My group at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social is offering a post-doctoral position (4 years). We look for a structural biologist with experience in Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET to investigate the mechanisms of host invasion by pathogenic fungi. Deadline February 28th!

@zbevo.bsky.social food for thought!

Starting in an hour, join this free online root symposium! #plantscience

Full Professor and Chair Laboratory of Biophysics We are looking for a Full Professor in the Biophysics chair group, part of Wageningen University & Research (WUR)

Become our new colleague (and next door neighbor) and lead a chair/group/department of Biophysics at Wageningen University. Reach out to me for info and please spread!!!

Fabulous opportunity #plantscijobs

Well done Chris!

Postdoctoral and Doctoral Researchers in Plant Developmental Biology Postdoctoral and Doctoral Researchers in Plant Developmental Biology

We’re hiring! 🌱
Open positions in my lab for candidates interested in cambium development in Arabidopsis, hybrid aspen, or silver birch. Apply now! Please repost! jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

This is also in collaboration with the fabulous @ubechtold.bsky.social, benefitting from her supervision and Dr Prashar's to give a full view from bioinformatics, cell biology, development up to the crop in the field!

ignore the note that says it's Newcastle, that's due to the funding system. The main base is Durham, but second supervisor Dr Ankush Prashar is indeed at Newcastle and the farm rotation will be at the wonderful NUFarm!

Our new preprint is out on bioRxiv!
A regulation-compliant infrared heating system for UK field trials 🌾🔥

Figure 2 (shortened, see paper for full legend): Long non-coding RNAs participate in both activation and repression of genes preventing germination. (A) Under red and far-red light conditions, phytochrome B (phyB) promotes accumulation of the HIDDEN TREASURE 1 (HID1) lncRNA in the radicle of germinating seeds to repress transcription of genes which slow germination. For the repressor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 3 (PIF3), HID1 RNA directly interacts with the chromatin in its promoter region, repressing transcription. For other genes such as the ABA biosynthesis gene 9-CIS-EPOXYCAROTENOID DIOXYGENASE (NCED9), HID1 not only interacts with the chromatin in its promoter region, but also with the histone methylase ARABIDOPSIS TRITHORAX-RELATED7 (ATXR7) to suppress its ability to deposit the activating gene body mark H3K4me3, thus reducing transcription of NCED9. (B) Transcription of the dormancy-promoting gene DELAY OF GERMINATION1 (DOG1) is induced and repressed by different lncRNAs.

🌱🧬 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🌱🧬

Tremblay & Qüesta discuss how examining the seed-to-seedling transition can reveal how non-coding RNAs and epigenetic changes regulate transcription during developmental transitions.

I'm happy to announce a postdoctoral position is available in my lab. We have lots of great data to analyze with respect to transposons & epigenetics and cool biological questions to answer.
Please reskeet and share.
