Hot off the press, first PI paper 🎉. Reporting a novel protein (VIA1) involved in thylakoid membrane biogenesis. VIA1 (similar to ESCRT-II) and bind to chloroplast ESCRT-III (VIPP1). Showing a direct role of VIPP1 in thylakoid biogenesis.

Our colleagues Vinith Kishore and Valentin Debarnot from the @ivandokmanic.bsky.social lab have come up with an amazing deep learning tool for denoising and filling the missing wedge in #cryoET data. I'm pleased to introduce Icecream🍧
Icecream: High-Fidelity Equivariant Cryo-Electron Tomography
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) visualizes 3D cellular architecture in near-native states. Recent deep-learning methods (CryoCARE, IsoNet, DeepDeWedge, CryoLithe) improve denoising and artifact cor...

So, we all know that VIPP1 (the Very Important Protein in Plants) is the "photosynthetic ESCRT-III", required for the biogenesis and maintenance of light-harvesting thylakoids. But what about ESCRT-II, you say? ...Meet VIA1! Congrats @mayankdu.bsky.social on your lab's first paper! #PlantScience 🧪 🌾

New work from the Synoxys lab!
About how does a plant’s habitat, whether growing in water, drylands, or typical soils, shape the evolution of its oxygen-sensing machinery.
Indulge!

Thrilled to make my first post here 🌱 Right after presenting at #ISPLORE2025JP, where I shared our work on how anatomy & habitat shaped the oxygen-sensing machinery of angiosperms. Please check out our new preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Honoured & excited that ‘Breathing Underground’ has been funded by the ERC!
This will let me explore one of the most fundamental questions of plant life: how roots breathe underground? @erc.europa.eu

It is not often that you see shiny flowers but these water-buttercup, Ranunculus lingua, are definitely shiny. They thank this to a unique and rare combination of traits. 🧵1/3

Outstanding work by @anyalb.bsky.social in my lab - she targeted enzymes to synthetic biomolecular condensates in plants and showed increases in metabolic pathway activity, likely due to protection of the introduced enzymes from proteolysis

With our new study, we engineered an orthogonal hypoxia-responsive system in plants inspired by mammalian HIF protein degradation. We demonstrated that this system could control protein stability and activity, enabling modulation of Oxygen sensing outputs. Here's how:
