My work done MPIMP Potsdam Golm 🌱🧪 is out! Here we show that CLASP and KATANIN work at different spatial scales in regulating microtubule response to mechanical stress during pavement cell and tissue morphogenesis. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

CPK29 directly interprets Ca2+ signals to modulate PIN trafficking, polarity, and auxin responses The Plant Cell ▶️ Bonus: CPK29 phosphorylates new sites in PINs ≠ from AGC kinases: toward a phosphocode regulation of polar auxin transport? academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

Plants perceive mechanical disturbances and can adjust their growth far from the site of stimulation. This research showed that stem bending causes an electrical response which may be part of this process. Find out more in Physiologia Plantarum >> ow.ly/AvGt50FTcEM

Polarized NORTIA accumulation in response to pollen tube arrival at synergids promotes fertilization Developmental Cell The live imaging during fertilization in this paper is truly heroic & mind-blowing 🤯, huge congrats to @shazarita et al! #polarity #FERONIA cell.com/developmental-…

Thanks a lot to the organizers and especially to Yuchen Long 龙宇尘 and Chii Jou (Joe) Chan for inviting us to this very interesting conference !

Interested in doing a PhD in plant morphogenesis, combining microscopy, image analysis and modelling? Join my group to study the floral transition at cellular resolution! Deadline: 6 Dec 2021. #IMPRS MPIPZ Cologne mpipz.mpg.de/5372643/mpi-a-… Image by M. Cerise & P. Casanova-Ferrer

Well done ! Congratulation to all the colleagues from the Hamant's group involved and especially to #AliceMalivert !

Registrations are now opened for the Xth International Plant Biomechanics Conference, which will be held in Lyon from the 22nd to the 26th of August 2022. More infos: plantbiomech.sciencesconf.org

Don't forget ! The deadline for early bird registration and abstract submission for oral presentation for the 2022 Plant Biomechanics conference is the 30th of April.

Our mechanical model of seed development is finally out in Nature Communications, thanks to all the people involved @RDPlab

Turgor pressure is indispensable for plant growth, but how? Together with Olivier Ali Aliyah Olliff, Ibrahim Cheddadi and Benoit Landrein Benoit Landrein, we revisited and reviewed their relationship, and discussed the appropriateness of the “bubble analogy”: ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/…

There will be a session on Plant Biomechanics (from Molecules to Organisms) at the next Plant Biology Europe Meeting in Marseille in early July. Abstract submission will open soon.

The final PBE2023 - MARSEILLE meeting is now online, with so many great speakers as @Francois_Parcy , Stefano D'Alessandro, @LouisMeteignier and so many more. Check the program europlantbiology2023.org/daily-programm… SFBV_fr , INRAE , LAPSE , CNRS 🌍

In the frame of young researcher ANR, I am looking for a post-doc to study how cell mechanical properties and response to forces control the growth of Arabidopsis seeds! If anyone is interested to come to Lyon, please contact me!

Mechanical signals affect cell growth anisotropy through microtubules, but is it enough to shape organs? Not really! Check the work of my PhD student Amélie Bauer who showed how different responses to mechanical signals shape the seed of Arabidopsis: doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…
