Early Excellence in Science Award goes to GreenRobust PI @brittavelten.bsky.social. Congratulations!

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

Congratulations, Dr. Rodion Boikine! He led our efforts to understand the molecular mechanism of receptor kinase-mediated cell wall damage caused by inhibition of cellulose biosynthesis. Instrumental in establishing FRET-FLIM technology in our lab. Excellent work! Also, a kind human being.

Human organisations are like biological networks: there are enzymes, activators and repressors. The enzymes are the people who do stuff. Activating interactions motivate and inspire them. Repressing interactions create friction, bureaucracy, etc. Roles or processes that create friction tend ...

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.

Thrilled to share our latest story on the ERAD machinery and how it controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES for acclimative growth

I am thrilled &honoured, what a journey that was!
Only possible with the great support from family, all lab members, friends, current @unicologne.bsky.social / @ceplas.bsky.social & former colleagues & mentors.
With this project, we will do all that we can to help protect plants from diseases (1/2)

Six years ago, I started at the MPIPZ with a head full of ideas. What a journey. I’m thrilled to share that, from Jan 2026, I will be moving to Zurich as a chaired associate professor at the University of Zurich.
A new chapter, and plenty of roots still to grow. Can’t wait for the adventure ahead!

3D digital plant organs? What for? Curious? Have a look at our review. Nice work by Tejasvinee Mody and Ratula Ray from our lab.

Plant cells at the organ surface use mechanical cues to activate a specific growth control programme During morphogenesis of multicellular organs, cells acquire distinct identities that meet specific functional requirements. Epidermal identity is widely considered essential for plant morphogenesis du...

Thrilled to share our latest work: how plants control growth through activation of a surface-specific growth programme. Thanks @zoenv.bsky.social, @nathan-german.bsky.social and the other coauthors for all the hard work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The recruitment of the A-type cyclin TAM to stress granules is crucial for meiotic fidelity under heat The concentration of a meiotic regulator into membrane-less compartments assures genomic stability during reproduction.

First up: understanding how plants defend themselves against heat stress. Our recent Science Advances paper shows that the meiotic cyclin TAM localizes to stress granules—special biomolecular condensates—during meiosis.

Thrilled to have our spatial single-cell atlas of the Arabidopsis lifecycle in @NaturePlants. Turns out that its easy to make nice images when spatial expression of 1,000 genes is available! 1/n
