Proud and honoured to be one of the two laureates of the 2025 Rósen Linné Prize. Warm thanks to all students, PhD students and postdocs who joined me over the years and greatly contributed to our research success. Thanks also to colleagues at UPSC, IJPB and INRAE for their continued support always.

Apoplastic barriers are essential for nodule formation and nitrogen fixation in Lotus japonicus

Establishment of the apoplastic root barrier known as the Casparian strip occurs early in root development. In legumes, this area overlaps with nitrogen-fixing nodule formation, which raises the possi...

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the daughter cells actually identical? By combining live-cell imaging and scRNAseq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Read our full paper in Cell: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... @nvukas.bsky.social @trevormnolan.bsky.social

🧪🌾 NEWS - How are cold responses regulated in plants? PhD student Varvara Dikaya focussed on PORCUPINE, a protein involved in RNA splicing and found that the answer to this question is not simple. Read more about her PhD thesis, which she will defend tomorrow, here👇: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n...

Varvara Dikaya is sitting on a border wall of a platform that is reaching over a frozen river. She has dark curly hair and wears a blue jacket and hiking shoes, holding her hands around her bent right leg. It is a foggy winter day. On the right side, one can see some benches and trees through the fog.
