Big news from our lab: we can now stably edit the genome of a parasitic plant! Transgene-free, genome-edited P. japonicum in one generation! This will transform how we study #parasiticplants and other hard-to-transform plants.

Nikolas and I just published our insights on CLEs in plant–bio interactions. Too short to cover everything, but we hope it gets you also excited about these peptides. Thanks to @newphyt.bsky.social for the opportunity

Die Hater u Idioten sind zunehmend auch auf Bluesky unterwegs. Die Folge: Einer der für mich interessantesten Intellektuellen @ilkokowalczuk.bsky.social hört hier auf. Extrem schade!

Leider bleiben zu viele auf den Tech-Bro-Plattformen.

Aber zumindest an der Diskursqualität sollten wir arbeiten.

Sehr schade. Ich habe viel gelernt … FB und Insta sind doch keine Alternative! Meine liebste Informationsquelle wird mir fehlen 🥲 Danke vielleicht!

A subset of group S1 bZIP transcription factors controls resource management during starvation and recovery in Arabidopsis Specific S1 bZIP transcription factors coordinate amino acid catabolism, gluconeogenesis and C/N-balance to support plant survival during starvation.

Now online in PLANT CELL: unexpected functions of S1 bZIPs in starvation response:
Congrats to Theresa and Christoph and all others involved. Thanks to Cezary Smaczniak and Kerstin Kaufmann for a Great collaboration!

Scientists as political advocates Science, both teaching and doing, is under attack. The recent US presidential election of a person and platform with anti-science bias exemplifies this. The study of climate processes and patterns and...

Job ad for PhD position in Pharmaceutical Biology at Würzburg University

We’re looking for a PhD student to join our group at Würzburg University and study the relationship between carbohydrate metabolism and thermotolerance in Arabidopsis.

If you are interested please apply by Feb 14th!

Check out our latest pre-print where we used our ASP-#SPARK #sensor to unveil #SnRK1's multifaceted role during #plant growth and #development! bit.ly/49JVZrY
Including real-time #spatiotemporal visualization of SnRK1 activity in a growing #Arabidopsis root! 😀

Ja ja ja
