I'm quite proud of this paper by two of my collaborators, who spent several years on a very, very thorough #GeneNetwork analysis of Abscisic acid (ABA, a key signalling molecule that mediates plant responses to environmental cues, such ad #drought) in #Poplar roots.

Study reveals how giant #trees in #tropicalForests transport #water to their uppermost branches
The study published in #Science helps us understand the role of this little-studied type of #vegetation in #climateChange. One percent of the tallest trees store more than half of the #carbon in #tropical forest #ecosystems. -
please #Share / Boost widely in your #AcademicNetworks : A #SeniorLecturerPosition in botany and mycology with a research activity in #PlantPhysiology will be open for competition in spring 2026 at the Silva joint research unit / Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France.

The lecturer will be involved in teaching (lectures, tutorials and practical work) as part of the pharmaceutical studies programme, focusing mainly on botany, mycology and plant biology. Teaching has to be done in French.
Whereas the research will focus on the acclimation of trees by molecular mechanisms to the increasingly severe environmental constraints (ozone, drought, heat waves). The research will be done int he PHARE team

Plant discovery could lead to new ways of producing #medicinesThe study focused on a #plant called Flueggea suffruticosa, which produces a particularly powerful #alkaloid known as securinine. While investigating how this chemical is made, scientists discovered that the process is driven by a gene that looks more like it comes from #bacteria than from a plant.

Researchers Identify Peptides for Pollen Tube Growth in Rice
The two OsRALF peptides are essential for pollen tube germination and elongation, a vital step in the fertilization of rice crops.

Discovery of key genetic sequence essential for plant reproduction
A research group identified a genetic sequence in thale cress that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding between plant species.
