Chouette discussion samedi dernier à la chaleureuse fête de l'Huma, juste après @valmasdel.bsky.social et avant d'écouter Patti Smith, toujours impressionnante

Repoductive development in gymnosperms: LEAFY and NEEDLY regulated by and regulating MADS-box genes. Prefiguring the angiosperm networks.

Notice the gene induction assay in pine calli, rare direct evidence for regulation

Interview en longueur bien cash pour LVX sur les clés du champ. Le journaliste Philippe Chassepot m'a mis en confiance et j'ai parlé de tout avec peu de filtres ! cominmag.ch/nouvelle-edi...

Ce livre est sorti au printemps, sur le passé des plantes domestiquées et ce qu'on pourrait faire de Crispr aujourd'hui. De temps en temps, une recension comme celle-ci me fait du bien. Ca vient du magazine Sciences Humaines

Si mon TGV n'a pas trop de retard, je devrais parler de "Les clés du champ ou comment domestiquer les plantes" à 14h dans la Terre au carré @franceinter.bsky.social

Mostly alpha helices but also a Zinc ribbon and the NLS residues making unexpected direct base contacts See shorturl.at/cdCW9 for Plant TF classification ALOG define a new family of Zinc-coordinating DNA binding domain, specific to plants

Yet another way for a plant protein to interact with DNA. The green protein is an ALOG, predicted to act as transcription factor (TF) but specificity and structure unknown shorturl.at/mqIQY

Depuis 3 jours, les communications sur les NBT se bousculent : interviewé pour Le Point par @gewoessner.bsky.social , interview dans le Parisien, et demain Europe 1 à 5h40 si vous êtes réveillés

Allez, donnons leur chance aux plantes CRISPR !!!!

Officially out today, our structural classification of plant transcription factors!

Stars show plant-specific TF classes or families: plants have innovated a lot while building their master regulators

Following @somssich.bsky.social post, here is a translation of the part of my book (Humensciences 2019) talking about Emmy Stein, who discovered the effect of radiations on living organisms. And got almost no recognition for it (Nobel prize attributed to Müller)

Bravo à Dr. @turchil.bsky.social for a great PhD defence yesterday. With Marie-Laure, Klaas, Gab and Christel in the jury and Antoine, Niko, Romain and myself as supervisors !

Modelling gene regulation based on TFBS and AI methods (using the very dear LEAFY protein as model TF of course)
