The actin cytoskeleton is required to maintain plant cell division orientation against cellular geometry Actin guides plant cell division, shaping tissues in ways that defy geometric constraints.

What a treat to see the work from Camila Goldy @camilagoldy.bsky.social et al., @rdplab.bsky.social @ensdelyon.bsky.social now published 🫶

I am very excited to share my simultaneous triple staining method for monocot roots. This method is not only faster but also utilizes a smaller volume of stain than traditional methods and minimizes mechanical tissue damage.

Plant Kelch phosphatases are Ser/Thr phosphatases involved in cell cycle regulation Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroid hormones sensed at the cell surface by the membrane receptor kinase BRI1. Activation of BRI1 leads to the dephosphorylation of BZR1/BES1 transcription factors ...

Our new year starts of course with new preprint on brassinosteroid signaling tinyurl.com/nhzcfkxd. We re-analyzed the function of Kelch phosphatases, which were previously characterized as protein tyrosine phosphatases that dephosphorylate the critical pTyr200 in the GSK3 kinase BIN2. (1/6)

Project funding restrictions envisaged The SNSF is responding to increased demand from researchers in order to ensure evaluation quality and stabilise success rates.

The SNSF is considering restrictions for its Project funding. Goal: to ensure the quality of evaluation & stable success rates despite an increasing number of applications and limited funding. The final decision will be made in January 2026.
