We are looking for a postdoc to work on a @BBSRC funded project on the crosstalk of plant (and bacteria) oxygen sensing and symbiotic nitrogen fixation tinyurl.com/UniOxlowO2

I can support one application for a Sainsbury PhD studentship in 2024. Applicants interested to work at @OxfordBiology on low oxygen and plants can contact me. We will develop a proposal together! tinyurl.com/bd8habs7

Come work with us! We are looking for a research technician to support our team with transgenic plants production and their characterisation (deadline 4/09/23). More details at: tinyurl.com/mr3nxdab #PlantSciJobs

New postdoc position in the Synoxys lab! A @BBSRC funded position is available to study plant oxygen sensing with us in Oxford. Deadline for application 11/11 Apply here: tinyurl.com/c97pe5cp

Brilliant discussion about O2 regulation mechanisms in rhizobia at Paul Rutten's viva examination from @PooleLabOxford, together with Juan Imperial. Hypoxia sensing in these N2-fixing bacteria is much more complex than I initially imagined (in my ignorance).

We are looking for two postdocs who will use the synthetic biology framework to study and engineer oxygen sensing in plants. Deadline to apply on 24 March sites.google.com/view/licaus…

The first member of my group in Oxford has arrived, as a sort of gift from @BeaGiuntoli : Sergio Iacopino (pretending to be working here in the photo)! In a single day, he managed to achieve more than I did in a month here😓

My first day of work as APTF at @OxfordPlants and @wadhamoxford. Thrilled for this opportunity to strengthen existing collaborations, start new ones in directions I cannot yet imagine and, in general, make new friends!

Join us for three months in Pisa! We will fund up to three motivated M.Sc. students to take part in our research on molecular #plantphysiology and plant #syntheticbiology in Feb-Apr 2020. Call details at plantlab.santannapisa.it/int… Please RT!

Enzymatic control of N-terminal cys-oxidation is a shared strategy for oxygen perception in both plants and animals! The fruit of our collaboration with the Ratcliffe and Flashman's labs is out in @sciencemagazine. science.sciencemag.org/conte…

And winners 2019!

Plant Cysteine Oxidases (PCO) are sufficient to confer oxygen dependent degradation to proteins equipped with a plant Cys-degron! Nice job, @MikelLavi and Beatrice Giuntoli!

SAM cells like it hypoxic! Our study about a role of endogenous hypoxia for new leaf production is now published in @Nature. A very fruitful collaboration with @UniPisa, @RWTH, @uni_copenhagen and @Meristemania! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Congratulations to Sergio Iacopino @SantAnnaPisa! Today he obtained his PhD title defending a thesis about the engineering of oxygen perception in higher plants.

Congratulations to @LauraDalleC ! Her collaboration between @ScuolaSantAnna and @OxfordChemistry on zinc excess mimicking iron deficiency in the inhibition of PCO enzymes is now published in @PlantPhys! plantphysiol.org/content/ear…

Our collaboration with Francoise Corbineau and @MirkoZaffagnini is out in @JXBot ! A series of observations that made us question the contribution of alcohol fermentation to low oxygen tolerance, at least in Arabidopsis. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erz052
