At the end of August, Oussama, Teresa, Vendula, Samia, and Helene attended the Plant Biology CS conference in Bratislava, where they presented their research on embryo and seed development as well as plant hormones.

Wang et al. demonstrated that the nuclear envelope and mitochondria localized OPENER protein complex plays a key role in the pre-60Sribosome processing in plants.

The successful applicant will be expected to build an independent research group to study plant development and/or its natural variation.

Dissecting the mechanisms underlying heat tolerance is important for understanding how plants acclimate to heat stress. Here, the authors identified a new role for RDM16 isoforms encoded by two splice...

Plants are able to sense and remember heat stress. An initial priming heat stress enables plants to acclimate so that they are able to survive a subsequent higher temperature. The heatshock transcription factors (HSFs) play a crucial role in this process, but the mechanisms by which plants sense heat stress are not well understood. By comprehensively analyzing the binding targets of all the HSFs, we find that HSFs act in a network, with upstream sensory acting in a transcriptional cascade to activate downstream HSFs and protective proteins.
