[ #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.

We are hiring! Together with @bastien-boussau.bsky.social, we are looking for a motivated candidate in bioinformatic and deep-learning to develop an approach for non-coding regions prediction in eukaryotes. More information and application here: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Docto...

Concluding remarks on a fantastic #Epiplant 2026 by organizers Leïla Tirichine and @celineduc.bsky.social after 3 days of inspiring science! We are already looking forward to #EpiPlant 2028 to be held in Grenoble under the lead of @cristelcarles.bsky.social @ugrenoblealpes.bsky.social. Stay tuned!👋

A fantastic #EpiPlant 2026 closing lecture by @plantevolution.bsky.social from @maxplanckcampus.bsky.social taking us on a transposon journey! In depth analysis of somatic transposition events revealed new fascinating aspects of TE biology.

📆 Save The Date! The Plant-Bacteria Interaction Meeting (18th RPB) in Aussois, Savoie will take place from January 11 to 15th, 2027 👉 More info on the keynote speakers & sessions: plants-bacteria-2027.symposium.inrae.fr Deadline: September 25th @inrae-dpt-spe.bsky.social @sfp-france.bsky.social

Isabel Bäurle from IBB @unipotsdam.bsky.social delivers a #EpiPlant keynote on the interplay between transcription factors and chromatin to regulate heat stress memory in plants.

Our very own @ibrahimkeita.bsky.social @lipme-toulouse.bsky.social @inrae-toulouse.bsky.social presenting his PhD work at #EpiPlant! His work suggests an interplay between long non-coding RNAs and histone modifiers to promote transcriptional reprogramming in root nodule symbiosis. Stay tuned!

Strong start of day 3 at #EpiPlant 2026! Naïs Daviddi from @ips2parissaclay.bsky.social showing elegant demonstration of gene regulation by histone deacetylases during symbiotic nodulation in legumes.

Now #EpiPlant GDR Director @alineprobst.bsky.social from @igred.fr taking us on a chromatin journey: histone variant H2B.8 plays a major role in the reprogramming of gene expression during the seed-to-seedling transition. More here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#EpiPlant speaker Lionel Navarro from @ibensens.bsky.social presenting how DNA methylation and demethylation regulate plant immunity. Great data showing natural DNA methylation variation with consequences on gene expression and plant adaptation 🌱🦠

More talks on plant-microbe interactions at #Epiplant with Stéphanie Jaubert from Institut Sophia Agrobiotech @inrae-dpt-spe.bsky.social showing a neat case of cross-kingdom RNAi involving parasitic nematodes that hack plant AGO1 to induce host cell reprogramming.

How are hormonal responses controlled during plant development? @jiquesta.bsky.social from @cragenomica.bsky.social discussing VAL1-mediated chromatin control from germination to organogenesis. #EpiPlant

This week we are at #EpiPlant 2026 in Nantes with @yaranoureddine.bsky.social & @ibrahimkeita.bsky.social for 3 days of great plant epigenetics research 🌱🧬 Make sure to hit Yara's poster #40 to discover how TFs and lncRNAs cooperate to regulate transcription in contrasted plant-microbe interactions.

More cool research on diatoms! Petra Bulankova from @ibensens.bsky.social discusses how diatoms repurpose mitosis for DNA damage–induced nuclear selection.
