The University of Toulouse has 44 postdoc positions to fill (Horizon Europe MSCA-COFUND). My lab is looking for candidates to apply and work on how plants regulate cell surface levels of receptors or transporters in response to heat. Please DM me if interested!

We have just published a paper in Genome Biology, rdcu.be/eIMLf. We explore the information flow between genome, gene body methylation, transcriptome, translatome and proteome in Arabidopsis. This is part of a BBSRC-funded collaboration with UCL, Rothamsted Research and University of Cambridge.

1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources.
In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth.
