Ever wondered why tubers only grow underground? Our last paper shows how BRC1b prevents aerial tuberisation by promoting bud dormancy #TCP #Bud_Dormancy #ABA #Plasmodesmata #Sugar_allocation with @pilarcubas @CNB_CSIC Salome Prat and many others

Today at #CNB_CSIC we brought together leading researchers at the Plant Sensing and Adaptation to a Challenging World congress to share advances in plant signalling, stress responses and resilience through talks, posters and scientific discussion. Thanks to all participants!

Hey all! We have been awarded a Spanish national grant to keep researching. We have a full PhD contract (FPI) assigned and keep looking for candidates interested in molecular biology and evolution of (plant) transcription factors, please spread the word!!

🔥 Postdoc opportunity 🌱

The Legris lab at @UniNeuchatel 🇨🇭 is looking for a Postdoc to work on the regulation of branching by warm temperatures. If you have a background on plant physiology and development, and you're interested in shoot thermomorphogenesis, apply now! 🧬🔬🪴

How do potato cultivars cope with salt stress? With @KarlovaRumyana we are glad to share that our paper investigating potato plants' response to salt stress is out https://t.co/KalSDvIL5h ! with @PPH_WUR and @TesterinkC

✨ The less fertilizer, the better ✨

🌍 Is it possible to cultivate potatoes with less fertilizer? Reducing environmental impact while feeding millions? 🥔

Our research published today in @NewPhyt, led by Salomé Prat and @MarufSh84795688, is turning this into reality! 🧵

Our small contribution to celebrate the Nobel prize for microRNAs. 🎉🍾🎊.

[José Dinneny @Dinnenylab]

Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis!

Happy to share this work from my postdoc time with @cabeveridge29 and new data from HHU and @ceplas_1
We show that trehalose 6-phosphate is downstream of strigolactones but independent of the known BRC1 pathway.

Are you interested in Plant Development? Our group at @CNB_CSIC is looking for a motivated student to carry out a PhD project investigating the molecular mechanisms controlling plant shoot branching, a process with great agricultural impact. Write to me or to @MklNicolas

#Plants 🌱💦 | Almost one-quarter of all irrigated farmlands are affected by salination. Therefore, WUR researchers have discovered a local regulator protein that allows plants to develop in such stressful situations. Do you want to know more? ➡️ https://t.co/gTDblsOx6a

VACANCY REMINDER - Submit before 1 March 2024 - Together with the Inge De Clercq lab we have a funded position for a postdoctoral researcher to work on nature's genetic engineer, Agrobacterium tumefaciens. More info: https://t.co/Uaa0ESO6PB

Scientists from CNB in Madrid say yes! to #NGT #CRISPR !

[patrick_laufs @PatrickLaufs]

By optimizing tissue permeability, we have developed an enhanced method for whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization, enabling cell segmentation. With this method, we demonstrate that multiple ways lead to shoot meristems during root conversion.#ijpb
