Ever wondered how root apoplastic barriers affect symbiosis and nodule function? Wonder no more! Just read our latest preprint.. some few surprise twists in there also.. ;-) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really thankful to start the year in such a great way: Our paper is out today! 🥳 Congrats to all the authors for their hard work, and thanks to the editors & reviewers for their insight on how to improve it! 🧵1/3 nature.com/articles/s4147…

For PhD students in plant sciences - this could be an amazing experience for your career! The CSHL summer course Frontiers and Techniques in Plant Science. Organizers: Brady Lab Emmanuelle Bayer Niko Geldner Deadline: March 15 meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx?c…

Great story from the Brady lab! We have learned that root barriers and root cellular anatomy are functionally important and surprisingly plastic - turns out that bacteria knew it all along and profoundly affect aerenchyma formation and suberisation in Sorghum upon colonization!

Congratulations, Liam! Liam Dolan, Senior group leader at the GMI, has been elected a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

🚨The Kalmbach Lab opens at the University of Neuchâtel🇨🇭in September! A big thanks to the Swiss National Science Foundation for funding our work with a Starting Grant and the Université Neuchâtel for welcoming the lab!

Dear Plant Biology community 🌿 I'm glad to announce I will be rectuiting the first PhD student of my lab at the University of Neuchâtel 🇨🇭 We will focus on the environmental control of branching in Arabidopsis 🌸 You will find all the details here: unine.ch/biologie/

Finally online! First paper from lab! I’m so happy this work found a great home The EMBO Journal read all about how a root barrier does more than just selection! It also signals to the shoot! - a feature thats hidden until you put it plants on a “real” soil doi.org/10.1038/s44318…

Yan Ma is the newest group leader at the GMI. Her group will investigate how insects induce gall formation in plants. Find out more about her research and why she joined the GMI: bit.ly/3JR7xgV

Working title “Secrets of a Gene Body”: In our latest preprint we provide evidence for largely cell-autonomous (sic) action of the brassinosteroid receptor BRI1, which is necessary across multiple tissues to drive root growth. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally out! A big thanks to everybody involved. The GPAT4/6/8 clade functions in Arabidopsis root suberization nonredundantly with the GPAT5/7 clade required for suberin lamellae | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Insane that an economics professor would claim “technologies can’t eliminate poverty.” The Green Revolution was all about technology: - high-yielding variety seeds - chemical fertilizers - pesticides & herbicides - mechanization - irrigation techniques This is basic history.
