Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel win the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on optogenetics, which has revolutionized neuroscience.

Le Conseil européen de la recherche a annoncé ce jour la liste des lauréats des bourses ERC Advanced Grant, récompensant des scientifiques confirmés p

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Charpentier Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of plant calcium signalling.

This EMBO Workshop will highlight newest developments on the role of Ca2+ signaling in responses to environmental factors such as light, abiotic stress or pathogens. Special focus will be places on t…

Here a mechanism for nitrogen fixation maintenance is identified in Medicago truncatula where two polygalacturoneases are expressed in nodules and secreted into the symbiosome space for clearing of ex...

The Venus flytrap, a carnivorous plant, catches prey by sensing touch. Here, the authors show that DmMSL10 functions as a high-sensitivity mechanosensor in sensory hairs, initiating long-range calcium and electrical signals required for trap closure.

General Information Established thanks to the support of the Genetics Society, the Non-Seed Plant Sectional Interest Group brings together UK researchers studying all aspects of plant biology using…

The authors introduce ChronoGauge as a machine learning model which can estimate a plant’s internal circadian time using gene expression. This can be used to compare the circadian clock across differe...

The John Innes Centre (JIC) seeks a visionary Group Leader to lead research on Discovery Plant Science.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Optical Microscopy Support Specialist to join the Bioimaging Platform at the John Innes Centre.
