👋Say hi to our research group Receptor Structures at the Plant-Microbe Interface! Led by Alexander Förderer , this group delves into plant immune responses at the molecular level. Understanding plant immune systems is key to enhancing plant health and crop security 🌱

TE in action. Cool.

Interesting. GAAP1 and 2, aka Lifeguard 1 and 2, share interesting functions with other BAX Inhibitor-1 superfamily proteins in VLFA and ER stress biology.

Our paper dx.doi.org/10.1111/tpj.70… has finally been accepted and published today in The Plant Journal — congratulations to everyone involved! For those interested, the earlier bioRxiv version includes additional data that, unfortunately, didn't make it into the final publication.

A true “lab” story in full bloom: Jonathan D. G. Jones, Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture 2025, and Caroline Dean, Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture 2020, are more than just partners in life — they’re also partners in discovery. Jonathan’s pioneering work revealed how plants

How do flowering plants shape their cells? Check out our new paper - Sabine Brumm, Aleksandr Gavrin Matthew Macleod, Chesneau Guillaume and Annika Usländer studied two actin cytoskeleton coordinating proteins and why they function in either leaf hairs or root hairs. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
