Our research is focused on chloroplast biogenesis in plants: the import of nucleus-encoded proteins, and the role of ubiquitin-dependent regulation by CHLORAD.

Congratulations to Shuyang Cheng on the successful completion of his DPhil viva today! 👏
We are delighted to celebrate this important milestone and all the hard work that has gone into your research. Well done, Dr. Cheng! 🥂 @ShuyangC87304
🌱Our new preprint in @biorxiv_plants uncovers a novel role for Toc90 in regulating chloroplast senescence and photosynthetic protein abundance in Arabidopsis.

🥼🧪🌱 An overdue celebratory post as the Jarvis group settles into our new digs in Oxford's new Life and Mind Building @OxfordBiology
Another great @EMBO workshop on Advances and New Frontiers in Protein Translocation Across Membranes! Until next time!
🌱 New paper in @TrendsPlantSci, "Ubiquitin signalling redefines nutrient trade-offs in crops". Engineered E3 ligases rebalance root-shoot growth and pair cold tolerance with better phosphate uptake, a new route to climate-resilient crop breeding.

Pleased to contribute to this @NatureComms review by @PaulJarvisLab comparing ERAD, mitochondrial quality control pathways, and CHLORAD, highlighting conserved mechanisms and organelle-specific adaptations. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Check out our new review of Cdc48-dependent proteolysis at the ER, mitochondria and chloroplasts, now published in @NatureComms:

🧪Researcher Spotlight:
Meet Anne, a DPhil student investigating the role of CDC48 adaptor proteins in the CHLORAD pathway, and Nic, a visiting student from Heidelberg, who is assisting Anne in studying the roles of specific TIC components in chloroplast protein import.
Yesterday we said goodbye to Mudassar, a visiting postdoctoral researcher in the Jarvis Group studying the role of TOC75 in TOC complex assembly. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavours! @AwanCemb16318
Celebrating our colleague, Weifeng Zhang today who received the Star in Plants Award from the Molecular Plant Biology Section of @OxfordBiology @UniofOxford for his contributions to research on CHLORAD!
Congratulations, Weifeng!
Now published in @NatureComms! Check it out: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Our new study characterizes the assembly of two functionally distinct chloroplast protein import complexes (TOC-P and TOC-N) in the outer membrane of plant chloroplasts.
Huge thanks to @IvanAhelLab and @SKhalidLab, for a fantastic collaboration!
