Co-translational control of protein stability and quality in plants Abstract. Proteostasis relies on the coordinated control of protein synthesis, folding, modification and degradation, and an increasingly clear picture is

My review “Co-translational control of protein stability and quality in plants” is now online at @jxbotany.bsky.social, in which I describe how co-translational processing and ribosome-associated quality control together establish protein stability and fate early in synthesis. tinyurl.com/5dhhz9h6

Exciting IPB Seminar @ipbhalle.bsky.social about iron transport and mobility across the plant by Stephane Mari from Montpellier @inrae-france.bsky.social. Amazing talk and data.

Two men stand side by side indoors, smiling at the camera in bright sunlight coming through large windows.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming @thorstenlangner.bsky.social from @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social for a fascinating talk about #plantpathogen #coevolution and pathogen-informed disease control🌱🦠

Thank you for the inspiring visit and many thanks to @incavirus.bsky.social for hosting!

Huge congrats to Alibek and everyone involved! It is a great work!

PhD work of Alibek! <3. "Sometimes the real treasure are the selective autophagy receptors we found along the way (marchantiales) and them dropped unceremoniously".

Really happy to see this one out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Alibek's drive & great coll w/ friends @gekaragoz.bsky.social & E. Hallacli resulted in a cool story that starts with our beloved #Marchantia and ends with iPSC-derived neurons 🤩🤪 A short 🧵

Hey everyone joining us @ #MBP2026 in mid March, we just released the conference program. Please check it out here: syncandshare.lrz.de/dl/fiPnsPinb... we are super excited to see you all soon and to talk 🌱🔬🥼 over 🍻all night long!

Shoutout to yesterday’s guest @eswallner.bsky.social, who visited us from @gmivienna.bsky.social for her talk “Lessons from sporeling development: How to form plant organs and meristems de novo?” - fascinating perspective on plant development!🌱
Thanks as well to @thevirusmc.bsky.social for hosting 🙏

Plant Phenotypic Plasticity: From Molecular Mechanisms to Breeding and Climate Change Adaptation Phenotypic plasticity (PP) is a fundamental property of plants, enabling a single genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to environmental variation. This ability is crucial for survival ...

Out now in Annual Review of Plant Biology! 🌱

Together with colleagues from our DFG-funded CRC on “Plant Phenotypic Plasticity” (@unipotsdam.bsky.social), we outline the mechanistic & evolutionary backbone of plant plasticity.

Our First preprint 🌱 about a new Component of the Autophagic Network identified in Pi-deprived root tips is online ❣️ All I wished for Valentine's day 😀 #proudPI#autophagy#rootPiSensing#plantproteolysis

Beautiful #preprint on a novel regulator of plant #autophagy from the @cnaumann123.bsky.social lab. How do plants regulate #autophagosome size??? ER-PM contact sites and Can1 seem to be key! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
