The Julian lab is looking for a postdoc! if you want to help understand how plant maintain their vacuolar membrane integrity under alkaline conditions , how does the autophagy machinery help, and how this mechanism evolved, this is the place for you.☘️

Out now! ➡️ Going viral – Plant selective autophagy swiping left and right on viral infections. We review how viruses and selective autophagy interact and propose that multiple parallel pathways collectively shape infection outcomes. Kudos to @jcmuede.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social.

Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->

Selective autophagy fine-tunes plant immunity to promote cell survival during viral infection
RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...

New paper! A study from the Dolan lab at the GMI of the @oeaw.bsky.social has just been published in Current Biology. Read the publication titled "Antagonism between blue- and red-light signaling controls thallus flatness in Marchantia polymorpha" here: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Who said getaway weekends were not *also* for sampling? Going back to Potsdam with some wild Marchantia polymorpha 🥬(wrong icon sorry) for @sreeja-theresa.bsky.social to analyze as part of her predoc project at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social

Lovely day at Charles University invited by the one and only @vanessaloi.bsky.social and the L.O.G.E lab. All about plant☘️viruses🦠, phage and bacterial-derived chloroplastic polymerases. Why keep both? The L.O.G.E lab aims to answer that question!

PhD work of Alibek! <3. "Sometimes the real treasure are the selective autophagy receptors we found along the way (marchantiales) and them dropped unceremoniously".

Shoutout to yesterday’s guest @eswallner.bsky.social, who visited us from @gmivienna.bsky.social for her talk “Lessons from sporeling development: How to form plant organs and meristems de novo?” - fascinating perspective on plant development!🌱 Thanks as well to @thevirusmc.bsky.social for hosting 🙏

Duckweeds are an important plant research model but have been challenging to modify genetically. A study published in @newphyt.bsky.social by the Marí-Ordóñez group at the GMI, presents a new and highly reproducible method for genetic transformation in the duckweed species Spirodela polyrhiza.

Think vacuoles are just plant cell dumpsters? Think again. They sense. They signal. They reshape. They fight back! ⚔️ Vacuoles are emerging as central hubs for plant resilience and adaptation. 🌱 @plantophagy.bsky.social and I unpack it all in our new review. Check it out! 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.pb...

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇
