Rainfall patterns during barley seed development underlie genomic variation for germination after flooding Barley's adaptation to rainfall patterns is associated with genetic variations that contribute to controlling seed germination after flooding.

New lab / new life 🌱

The Julian Lab is now open at the Institute of Molecular Plant Biology (IMPB), BOKU University 🇦🇹

We explore how plants defend their vacuoles and how vacuoles defend them! 🛡️

Excited to collaborate with @angegross.bsky.social’s lab.

Leaf-age specific flood resilience in Arabidopsis thaliana is determined by distinct processes contributing to post-submergence recovery While the molecular mechanisms mediating submergence tolerance have been extensively studied, those underpinning age-dependent resilience remain poorly characterized. In Arabidopsis thaliana, submerge...

ERAD machinery controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES in plants Plant ERAD machinery governs the turnover of auxin transporters involved in developmental and stress responses.

1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources.
In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth.

We link the PCO N-degron pathway to acquisition of specialized cell fates and cell expansion, resulting in an altered leaf shape. A detailed RNAseq analysis led us to identify key genes downstream of the oxygen sensing pathway involved in the formation of specialized cells in leaves.
