Bruno Guillotin has joined the IPS2 unit (Institute of Plant Sciences Paris-Saclay) as a CNRS Research Scientist. He was recruited in February 2025.   After studying Plant Biology and Physiology, he completed his PhD between 2013 and 2016 at the Plant Science Research Laboratory (LRSV – Toulouse) under the supervision of Guillaume Bécard and Jean-Philippe Combier. His doctoral work focused on the autoregulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in Medicago truncatula.   Following his PhD, he turned his attention to the study of root development in various plant species as a postdoctoral researcher in Kenneth Birnbaum’s group at New York University. There, supported by a Human Frontiers Long-Term Fellowship, he developed numerous protocols for single-cell transcriptomics (single-cell RNA-seq), which he implemented to study gene evolution across agronomically relevant species (maize, sorghum, millet), as well as to investigate cell regeneration in the roots of Arabidopsis thaliana.   In 2025, he was appointed as a CNRS Research Scientist and was also awarded the CNRS–INSERM ATIP-Avenir grant. At IPS2, Bruno Guillotin’s research focuses on understanding how plant cells communicate through plasmodesmata, aiming to identify which proteins and peptides move from one cell to another and contribute to organ morphogenesis in plants. His work combines single-cell RNA-seq, proteomics, genomics, and bioinformatics approaches.   Contact email : [email protected]

Dear students, UCU Edinburgh will again be going on strike Monday 17th, Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th November as a result of University management’s refusal to commit to no compulsory redundancie...

Water is essential for plant growth under both normal and stress conditions. Aboveground, two key meristems control plant development: the shoot apical meristem and the vascular cambium. Here, stem c...

The vascular cambium contains bifacial stem cells producing secondary phloem in one and secondary xylem to the opposite direction. In Arabidopsis r...

Arabidopsis leaf epidermal cells have a wide range of sizes and ploidies, but the mechanisms patterning their size and spatial distribution remain unclear. This study shows that the pathway controllin...
