Great beginning of the year, two papers published in two months.
Ana’s work on the interplay between RNA quality control and RNA silencing just appeared in Nucleic Acid Research, whereas our joint work with the Bennett and Laplaze lab on lateral root morphogenesis just appeared in PNAS.
News
Plant Molecular Biology Conference
Alexis and Mouli went and presented the lab work at the very nice plant Molecular Biology Conference in Dabringhausen.
small RNAs biogenesis and turnover meeting
Alexis traveled to Edinburgh to present the results of the lab on RNA silencing and turnover in Arabidopsis at the Biogenesis and turnover of small RNAs meeting.
Grant accepted!
We are very happy that our grant to study AGO7 structure/function was accepted.
PostDoc and PhD opportunities!
We are looking for One postdoc and two PhD students. More info here.
8th TNAM in Lausanne
Mouli represented the lab in Lausanne during the 8th Tri-National Meeting.
New lab member
Gauri Tarle has joined the lab as a PhD student.
Welcome!
New paper
Our manuscript describing a set of very useful root-specifc promoters has been published in Mechanism of Development.

Conference J. Monod
Alexis went to Roscoff to present the lab work during the Jacques Monod Conference on Emergence and evolution of developmental patterns.
Poster price!
Mouli has won an award for her poster at the HBIGS general assembly. Congrats!
