Happy to see Kevin Robe’s work on ZIP transporters published. We found evidences that ZIP2 and ZIP8 are involved in Cu and Fe acquisition respectively and confirmed the role of ZIP3 and ZIP5 in Zn acquisition. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

First Ma lab #GMI paper is now online! It‘s a mini-review on insect-induced plant #galls —their coolness and research potential! Plant galls induced by insects: Coordinated developmental reprogramming and defence manipulation www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Very excited that our work on directional symplastic transport in differentiated root is now published!A developmental switch controls cell-to-cell transport in roots via pectin-linked plasmodesmata changes: Molecular Plant www.cell.com/molecular-pl...

We are recruiting!
A three year PhD position @iecb.bsky.social and @lbm-bordeaux.bsky.social to study lipid recognition by plant receptor-like kinases. A collaborative project with the team of @pierre-maisonneuve.bsky.social. Join us in the beautiful city of Bordeaux!

Finally!
Im so excited to present to culmination of many years of work from the fantastic Defeng Shen and some great collaborators. For details, I have made a digested thread below, but if you are more interested feel free to reach out (and read the paper of course).

Role of apoplastic barriers in RNS (in Lotus japonicus). @tonnigrubeandersen.bsky.social et al.

The genetic players involved in root barriers also act in nodules.

I wonder whether this extends to other types of nodules (indeterminate nodules, Actinorhizal ones)

Broad application of plant protein tagging with ALFA tag for nanobody-based imaging and biochemical approaches Epitope tags are broadly used for detecting, modifying or purifying proteins of interest, but their breadth of application is often rather poor. Recently, the rationally designed ALFA tag and its ALFA...
