Plant B chromosome biology research group (IEB)
@bartos_group
Our research group is focused on the study of supernumerary B chromosomes in plants. 🧬🌱
Calling all B chromosome enthusiasts — spread the word! Our group is thrilled to host the 6th B Chromosome Conference in our beautiful city of Olomouc, Czechia🇨🇿 Mark your calendars for 1–6 June 2026! Registration details will be coming later. Stay tuned! #6BCC
🎉 Exciting news! Our paper on maize B chromosome transcriptome is officially accepted! Huge congratulations to PhD student Lucie Hloušková for her hard work and dedication 🌽🧬 #BChromosomes #Maize #phdlife
Our PhD students are out in the field, planting maize and getting their hands dirty for science 🌽🧤 Sunburns, sore backs, and soil in places it shouldn’t be—must be field season! #Fieldwork #PhDLife #Maize #PlantScience
Big thanks to the group of Andreas Houben for the warm welcome and the opportunity to present our research! 🧬🌱 #Bchromosomes #PlantGenetics #IPKGatersleben #ScienceCollab #ChromosomeResearch
Our lab is happily participating in Do práce na kole this May! 🚴♀️🧬 Big thanks to team Koblížci for fueling us with a sweet treat 🍩 #DoPráceNaKole #BikeToWork #LabLife
Two PhD students + 400 maize seeds = the perfect Friday chill 🌽🧪 Just a casual end-of-week bonding session with tweezers and trays. #PhDLife #PlantScience🌽🌱
🌱 3 of our PhD students gave talks 🎤and made valuable connections at the Young Researcher Retreat of the @UEBavcr in Lysá nad Labem! 🙏 Big thanks to the organizers for an inspiring event! #PhDlife #networking #plantbiology
… and we are done. Thank you all for coming and hope to see you next time!
We are happy to welcome our new PhD student Amin Alizadeh who is joining our group to study maize B chromosomes! 🌽🧬 Wishing you an exciting and successful journey. Good luck!✨ #Bchromosome #phdstudent #plantresearch
We're actively sharing our research with the public in Czechia! 🇨🇿 In the December volume of Úroda magazine, an article by Miroslava Karafiátová featured our latest work. 📰📚 uroda.cz/studium-ciroku… #ScienceCommunication #CzechScience #Popularization
Happy New Year from all of us at IEB! 🎉Here's to fresh ideas and endless inspiration 🥂
Another one of our regular group breakfasts! 🥐☕ Huge thanks to Kateřina Holušová for the amazing food. Now we’re all set to tackle a big day of science! 🔬💡 #TeamTradition
🎄✨ The holiday spirit has officially hit our lab! Yesterday, all the scientists came together to decorate the garden with Christmas ornaments and lights. Let the holiday mood begin! #LabLife #Christmas2024
🎉 Big news! Our group leader, Jan Bartoš, just won a 3-year research grant from the Czech Science Foundation to further study maize B chromosome! 🌽🧬 Cheers, Jan! You’re leading the way! #GACR @UEBavcr
🎉 Exciting news from friends @LeibnizIPK! They identified genes on the rye B chromosome likely regulating nondisjunction in @NatureComms. Thrilled to have contributed. Congrats to all! @JYChen11023402 #PlantScience #Genetics nature.com/articles/s4146…
🎉 Celebrating a group member's birthday today with cake! 🎂 Nothing boosts the mood in a group meeting like a sugar rush. 🍰 #TeamSpirit
Good news! Miroslava Karafiátová's work "Unravelling the unusual: chromosome elimination, nondisjunction and extra pollen mitosis characterize the B chromosome in wild sorghum" has received over 500 views since publication! 🏆 Read it here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… #ViewsMilestone
Bosses are showing their groups how the lab work is done. Disclaimer: all safety rules were followed, no accident happened @APecinka @bartos_group
An amazing day of Institute team building🌲 We hiked, picked mushrooms 🍄 and worked together to solve some fun puzzles 🧩
Fünf Tage lang sind junge Forscherinnen und Forscher von @ceplas_1 und @LeibnizIPK zur „International Summer School“ im Kloster Drübeck im Harz zusammengekommen. Die Bilanz fällt positiv aus, und das Format soll 2026 weitergeführt werden. ➡️Alles Infos: tinyurl.com/yr85eaza
