Recruitment of bifunctional regulator thermospermine to methylated ribosomes directs xylem fate
Polyamines are often associated with ribosomes and are thought to stabilize their integrity. In Arabidopsis, the polyamine thermospermine (tSpm) affects xylem cell fate. tSpm induces translation of SU...

I will be there organising a session about condensates 🍀#ICAR25 @tairnews.bsky.social @naascarabidopsis.bsky.social
Abstract submission open for #ICAR2025
Come join an outstanding selection of Plenary, Concurrent and Workshop speakers.
We expect ~50 speakers selected from submitted abstracts… and of course plenty of posters!

Very proud and happy for the new stable position, as CSIC scientific researcher, of Dr. Borja Belda-Palazón (former PhD student, now co-PI in the lab). Well deserved!!
