🔬🤩 A nice confocal #microscopy image by Lina Boutaleb today! Tomato meristem from MicroTom 🍅, analyzed to study heat stress impact on cell division and DNA replication. 🧬 stained with Hoechst (cyan), while EdU (magenta) incorporation quantifies newly synthesized DNA during cell cycle progression.

🎉 Congratulations to Loé Malgouyre on successfully defending her CIFRE PhD on Feb 20th! 🔬Her research explored the effects of Leafamine®, an animal protein-derived biostimulant, on tomatoes under heat stress. Supported by BCF Life Sciences & #FDFE teams. Bravo, Loé! 👏👩‍🎓

Un poste de MCF des Universités en "Génétique quantitative appliquée aux espèces végétales" est ouvert au concours 2026 pour l'Université de Bordeaux. Projet de recherche axé sur "Déterminants génétiques de la résilience des céréales aux stress multiples". Laboratoire BFP - Département SE (UB)

Pascal Martin follows at the #SOLRUB2025 with a presentation about endopolyploidy in #tomato fruit development. Endoduplication increases transcription. Changes in the chromatin accessibility contribute to ploidy-specific gene expression changes.

Several members of the #FDFE team participate in the #SolRub2025 meeting in Torino, Italy this week. 3 talks and 3 posters presented. Stimulating meeting gathering specialists of the Solanaceae and Rubiaceae communities.
