ʙɪɴᴅᴄʀᴀꜰᴛ2 is out, and we're not waiting for the paper. The full code drops today, free for academic and industry use.

We're releasing it early so you can start designing right now, and bring its full power to the current Adaptyv competition.

@agencerecherche.bsky.social la copie est à revoir. Vous voulez pousser les scientifiques vers l'Europe? Ca va fonctionner, on va tou.te.s aller voir ailleurs en Europe!
[ #VeilleESR #LPPR ] Durcissement des règles d'attribution pour l'appel à projets générique ANR.

Notamment : réduction du nombre de dépôts et augmentation du délais de carence.

L'argumentaire est : plus les scientifiques ont besoin de l'ANR, moins il faut que les scientifiques sollicitent l'ANR.

Our paper is now out in PNAS!
Crops often show boron deficiency in volcanic soils. Here, we identified six variants in two key boron transporter genes, BOR1 and BOR2, that increase leaf boron in natural populations of A. thaliana from volcanic islands in Cape Verde.

In the frame of the French ANR funded project HOMONIME project (anr.fr/Projet-ANR-2...), we will open 3 PhD positions to work on nickel homeostasis in plants using genomic, proteomic, metabolomic and spectrometric approches in Toulouse, Grenoble and Pau. Contact me for further informations
Exploration des mécanismes de l'homéostasie du nickel chez les plantes à l'aide d'une espèce hyperaccumulatrice
Le nickel est un métal essentiel pour les plantes. Il est le cofacteur indispensable à uréase, qui dégrade l’urée pour recycler l’azote. Cependant, le nickel est toxique quand il est présent en excès,...

Very interesting and thorough discussion of the history and challenges of the #genotype -> #phenotype mapping.
A genetic approach, of course. Are we missing something in that 'missing #heritability'?

Big news from our lab: we can now stably edit the genome of a parasitic plant! Transgene-free, genome-edited P. japonicum in one generation! This will transform how we study #parasiticplants and other hard-to-transform plants.
