Scientific interest in cell size control, evolution of sex, growth control & multicellularity in green algae Chlamydomonas and Volvox.

Very excited about the publication of our work on algal sex determination that answers a long standing question about how mating types and sexes are determined. https://t.co/wlSJn3KpCE

I am heading to #ASCBEMBO19 to present a µTalk (11:40am Rm 145A) and a poster (P1107/B233) on Monday. Come over if you are interested in seeing how a cell without actin at all (not just F-actin) still forms a furrow.

@ThePlantCell @inmacouso @NervaMEPP @emforce1 @Volvox01 @IBVF_Sevilla @CSICAndalExtrem @dharmaberen Phosphorus starvation downregulates LST8 protein abundance and TORC1 activity.
Transcription factor PSR1 is an upstream regulator of TORC1.
