Through your undergraduate and graduate-level teaching, and your research activities, you will contribute to the faculty’s pursuit of excellence. Furthermore, you will promote your discipline and actively participate in the daily activities of a renowned institution. As such, you will:

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

This study shows that signalling by the multifunctional receptor kinase SUB in cell wall integrity involves two functionally distinct cell surface complexes whose activities are attenuated by sequenti...

Nemec-Venza et al. show how mechanical signals, such as tissue tension, can activate gene expression in epidermal cells at the surface of Arabidopsis roots. The expression of the edge-specific growth ...

Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) establishes transcriptional repression through trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), a modification essential for developmental patterning. Here, we d...

EPFL1 and EPFL2 extracellular peptides promote ovule initiation and funiculus elongation by maintaining the separation of ovule founder and boundary cell i

Participate in an international ERC funded team aiming to re-engineer by design, a complex developmental system - the flower.

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.

Life on Earth is often described as a web, but for much of modern science it was catalogued as a ledger: names, specimens, distributions, relationships drawn in careful lines. Over the course of the 2...

A congressional hearing covered the rise of paper mills and the costs of open-access publishing — but there was little agreement on what reform would entail.

How plant cells coordinate developmental patterning remains a fundamental question in biology. This review synthesizes current knowledge of how ERECTA-family receptors interpret spatiotemporal peptid....

Gene expression patterns underlie development, but their systematic detection in whole embryos has remained elusive. We introduce a whole-embryo imaging platform using multiplexed error-robust fluores...

The European Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology is delighted to welcome you to the 10th biennial meeting, to be held at the University of Glasgow from June 9th - 12th in 2026.

Brillouin microscopy reveals in vivo dynamics of mechanical properties during plant development and response to stress.

This study shows that many small RNAs in Capsella rubella pollen originate from maternal tissues. These mobile small RNAs support proper pollen development, revealing that non-cell-autonomous small RN...

From tiny mosses to giant redwoods, around 450,000 species of land plants show a huge variety of forms, yet all land plants develop from stem cells in proliferative meristems. What makes a meristem? T...

Inflorescences of flowering plants adopt diverse genetically programmed and environmentally tuned architectures. By contrast, continued maintenance of the stem-cell pool within the apical meristem is ...
