HARDTKE LAB – Molecular Genetics of Root Development
…et quid amabo nisi quod vita enigma est?
The culmination of persistent, patient, phantastic collaboration with the labs of Claus Schwechheimer and Uli Hammes at the Technical University of Munich. It allowed us to pin down the nearly 10-year-old notion that BRX modulates polar auxin transport at the plasma membrane. It does, in conjunction with the PAX kinase! Of course, none of this would have been possible without the exceptional experimental skills of Petra & Lana et al…
Pietro’s paper on the underground role of the BIG BROTHER gene in organ size restriction published!
On the role of brassinosteroid signaling in root meristem development. Including our probably
most spectacular result from a reviewer-imposed (…and justified) control experiment: Fig. 5. Also see this highlight in Development.
Movie of slides with voiceover of Christian’s talk at the Brassinosteroid Conference 2012 about our work published here:
Outsider CLE peptide meets outsider RLK – Suppression of Arabidopsis protophloem differentiation and root meristem growth by CLE45 requires the receptor-like kinase BAM3 – Congratulations Stephen & Antia et al.!
