Very proud to share our latest preprint: postdoc/LRSF fellow Yue Rui studies the mechanisms regulating attachment of the cell wall to the plasma membrane. The Cellulose Synthase Complex and REMORINs determine the extent of attachment and root osmotic stress tolerance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to be selected again for this years teaching prize awarded by the students at the @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social for the best teaching in the past winter term. Congratulations also to @chrisvanderdoes.bsky.social who received the same prize for the winter term. A motivating reward.

Competence for transcellular infection in the root cortex involves a post-replicative, cell-cycle exit decision in Medicago truncatula Imaging deep root tissues with a combination of cell-cycle reporters reveals that a cortical cell file traversed by symbiotic bacteria exhibits reduced proliferative potential and enters a prolonged G...

Happy to share our newest paper fresh from the press. Have a look, how cells prepare to host symbiotic infections. We really appreciate the reviewers comments. Enjoy the microscopy and other experiments by the lead PostDoc Morgane Batzenschlager & collaborators. elifesciences.org/articles/88588

Thanks Claudine for the great job!!

Thrilled to announce that our Cluster of Excellence CIBSS – Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies @cibss.bsky.social will continue to receive funding for another seven years! We’re happy to be part of such a great team!

Congratulations also to our plant colleagues in Tübingen, Heidelberg and Hohenheim! Well done!

Congratulations to our plant colleagues in Düsseldorf and Cologne! Well deserved. Ready for a green axis between CEPLAS and us @cibss.bsky.social.

Most of this adminstration’s initiatives will undermine health, jeopardize farmers’ livelihoods, and exacerbate hunger and suffering in the United States and abroad. Those cuts also will reduce scientific and legal expertise within government agencies.

We are looking forward to hosting the next European Nitrogen Fixation Conference in Oxford the 26th-29th August. We have already announced our invited speakers and are now excited to receive your abstracts!
Keep an eye on our key dates:
