Happy to share our newest preprint. We developed guidelines and analysis workflows for FLIM Imaging in plants. Multiplexing with spectrally overlapping fluorophores in plants is now possible. Have a look. Any feedback is more than welcome.

New preprint! 🐛 Root-knot nematodes hijack root cells, turning them into feeding sites and making plants very sick. Using a cross-species scRNA-seq approach we mapped this process and show how this knowledge can be used to engineer resistant crops.🌱 A summary🧵 :

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

Zinc and iron homeostatic interactions in a mutant lacking nicotianamine vacuolar storage and citrate xylem loading https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.19.712977v1

📢 Preprint alert!

We investigated how citrate loading into xylem vessels and nicotianamine (NA) compartmentation jointly regulate metal homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

It is my pleasure to share:
"Stepwise evolution of the developmental and symbiotic functions of DELLA in land plants"

Here we investigated the role of the single GRAS transcription factor DELLA in #MyMarchantia

🧬 RESEARCH 🧬

Specific domains of the Arabidopsis RS2Z splicing factors contribute to their nuclear localization, nucleocytoplasmic dynamics, and ability to contact protein partners and specific pyrimidine-rich RNA motifs - Fanara et al.

My proposal was one of 1,966 submitted in the MSCA-LIF (Life Sciences) section this year. Despite my initial doubts, I am beyond thrilled to have been awarded this grant.

I am truly honored to have incredible supervisors who guide me in the right direction.

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇
